Puebla
is situated in the very center of the principal route between
Veracruz and Mexico City. As such Puebla was on the main
road of the empire and the principal trade route of the
baroque era, a path uniting the two fascinating hemispheres
and cultures of Asia and Europe.
The
location of the city of Puebla was said to be chosen by
the angels and its regional dishes are often thought of
as heaven sent as well.
In
Puebla there are two volcanoes, the Popocatépetl
and the Iztaccíhuatl.
Their love legend comes form the prehispanic epoque and
tells that Iztaccíhuatl, the daughter of a Poblano
man fell in love with Popocatépetl, a brave warrior.
The Poblano man told him that if he wanted to marry his
daughter, before he had to beat the city's enemies chief.
After many years Popocatépetl came back as a victorius
heroe, but to find aout that Iztaccíhuatl have died
several years ago.
In desperation and trying to honoer her memory for centuries
to come Popocatépetl and 20 thousands of his men
constructed a hill. On its top layed her down, and he remained
there watching her with a lited torch.
Since then Iztaccíhuatl is known as "la
mujer blanca" (the white woman), and Popocatépetl
as "la montan~a que humea"
(the mountain that smokes).

Our
Food
Our pupose is to let you try the typical Comida Poblana,
from the place where we grew up, Puebla. It's not only rich
in blends of flavors, balanced and surprising to taste,
"it does have something special" that people recognize
but can't describe. We hear it over and over. We know some
of it reasons, the freshness and selection of all ingredients,
with a meticulous preparation that sometimes takes a long
time, and only real care can provide it.

Our People
|
|
|
|
We find and attract great people to work with, many
of them started with us 11 years ago, we learn, create dishes,
work hard, have fun doing so and none of us have any plans
to do it differently. One of our biggest satisfactions is
to hear comments from customers as how nice, warm and professional
they are. They will make you feel special, you will have
a special moment and attention, and you will leave wondering
about that sensation that it was not only the food and drinks
that pleased you so much.
They
deserve the biggest recognition and merit, they make Palo Alto Sol (and out sister Restaurant ViVe SoL...)
what it is, they provide the special ingredient that
our food have, and you will notice it. You will leave wondering
about that extra ingredient...
