Los Jarrones sits under the arcades facing Cholula's main square in San Andrés Cholula, serving daily Poblano home cooking rather than a special-occasion menu. Mole poblano, chalupas cholultecas, and a rotating comida corrida (fixed daily lunch) make up the core of the offering, aimed at locals and visitors passing through the square rather than travelers seeking a formal meal. The dining room is simple and unadorned, with tables spilling toward the arcade overlooking the plaza, and the atmosphere is casual and unhurried during the day; it closes before dinner service, operating only Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM. There is no wine or cocktail program — the focus is on aguas frescas, coffee, and simple soft drinks alongside the food. As a daytime, walk-in restaurant, no reservations are needed or generally accepted; the busiest period is the midday comida corrida service.
