Welcome to Café Ruta 66, an invigorating gem nestled in the heart of Tlajomulco de Zúñiga. This charming café invites you to relish the essence of community while sipping on expertly crafted beverages that tell a story of passion and dedication. Located at C. Porfirio Díaz 71, this delightful spot embodies a retro vibe, transporting you to a world where the road less traveled beckons with nostalgia.

As you approach the café, the inviting street-side seating offers a perfect opportunity for people-watching, allowing you to soak in the vibrant happenings of the city while enjoying your drink. Step inside, however, and you’ll feel the unique charm that’s been curated by the personable owners, who strive to create a welcoming atmosphere. Regular patrons often note the warm and friendly service, particularly from Edgar, who effortlessly communicates in English, ensuring that everyone's experience is delightful.

The menu at Café Ruta 66 is a treasure trove of flavors, offering something for every palate. Customers rave about the delightful frapes, delectable malteadas, and refreshing smoothies that burst with quality ingredients and innovative combinations. According to Paulina Lopez, “Delicious flavors and excellent combinations” are the highlights that make each sip a celebration. Whether you’re enjoying a rich, creamy coffee or a cool, fruity refreshment, you can expect nothing less than outstanding taste.

However, it is essential to note that the café is on the smaller side, which adds to its cozy atmosphere but may limit seating during peak hours. As Karla Gutierrez aptly puts it, it’s perfect for small families or couples, ensuring an intimate experience filled with laughter and conversation.

The decor is just as charming as the menu, thoughtfully designed to embrace the spirit of the iconic Route 66 with a retro flair that enhances the overall experience. It's a visual feast that complements the delicious offerings perfectly. Enthusiasts like luis HSZ appreciate the personal touches and the dedication displayed by the owners, making it feel more than just a café but a community hub.

Overall, join the growing community of satisfied customers who have discovered the magic of Café Ruta 66. As Laboratorio McKenzie puts it, “The menu's great variety balances the small space, making it well worth a visit.” Whether you're dropping in for a quick coffee or planning a delightful afternoon with friends, Café Ruta 66 is ready to serve you with heart and flavor.

Excelente lugar para pasar el rato y platicar, el único inconveniente que veo es que hay muy poco espacio, pero de ahí en más todo está excelente y las bebidas riquísimas :)

Fun diner type atmosphere with street side seating for people watching. Good music and chill space. The owner is very particular about putting together all the right ingredients for a good coffee. Very personable. Edgar, who works evenings, speaks English.

Delicioso y buen precio. El único inconveniente es el pequeño local. Pero si acuden solo dos personas, está bien.

Es un local muy pequeño, lo cual es compensado por su gran variedad de menú. Todo riquísimo. Precios quizá no muy accesibles más vale lo que cuesta.

Deliciosos sabores y excelentes combinaciones de frapes, malteadas, smothies, etc. Es un lugar pequeño pero perfecto para familias pequeñas, pareja o amigos. Servicio a domicilio dentro del pueblo de Tlajomulco. La decoración cuidadosamente detallada para hacerte sentir el ambiente retro de la ruta y de las festividades también. Super recomendable
