Nice place to spend the morning with your family. You can eat and then take a walk in the forest near. We had a burguer and a sausage, not the best we have tasted that’s why the 4 stars. Nice place to go with kids and dogs!

We came to this place hoping to get plenty of room for social distancing. Whilst you are able to do so, it is also pretty crowded. Lots of dogs so expect lots of barking. The menu is rather limited (main dishes are either hot dogs or hamburgers), but their service is friendly and the surroundings are gorgeous. It's all right I guess.

Live in Mexico City with kids and need a quick day trip get away in the woods? This is your place! My family loves the burgers. I have two boys and they love going to desierto norte bc it’s their time to adventure. You can also do birthday parties there and take your piñata! The staff is very kind with reservations. IMPORTANT: there are no areas to be covered if you need shelter from the rain. When it’s rainy season make sure to get there early so that you can leave by the time it starts raining. PRO TIP: try to not take a low ride vehicle. The dirt road to get to desierto norte is not very easy with a low ride.
