This restaurant, part of the Sanborn chain, is called the House of Tiles, and a single glance explains why: The spectacular, 400-year-old building is covered in striking blue tiles. The food is nothing special and the service can be slow, but the colonial interior, with high ceilings and murals gracing the stairwells, makes it a pleasant place to enjoy a leisurely breakfast. Try one of the many exotic juice combinations, such as orange and grapefruit with carrot, or papaya with lime. Daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner. No reservations. $-$$. Most major credit cards. Madero 4, Centro Historico, Mexico City. Phone 5512-1331.
