Casa de los Azulejos, Mexico City, Baroque palace and restaurant in Centro Histórico, Mexico City, Mexico.

Casa de los Azulejos is a two-story corner palace in the historic center of Mexico City, its facade clad in blue-and-white Talavera tiles from Puebla arranged in repeating geometric bands. Carved stone pilasters divide the facade, and a continuous balcony with an ornate metal railing runs along the upper floor. The roofline carries a decorative stone parapet topped with sculpted pinnacles, while the ground floor has heavy carved stone door surrounds and arched openings.

The original house dates from the 16th century; two mansions were joined after Graciana Suárez de Peredo, seventh Countess of the Valle de Orizaba, married into the family. In 1737 she had the facade covered with Puebla talavera tiles and carved stonework by Diego Durán Berruecos. The counts sold it in 1871, and Sanborns later made it their flagship restaurant.

The name comes from the blue-and-white Talavera tiles from Puebla that cover three sides of the facade, added in 1737 under the seventh Countess of the Valley of Orizaba. Since the early 20th century the palace has housed the flagship Sanborns store and café, so visitors eat beneath the same tiled exterior and a courtyard fountain crowned with mosaics.

The building stands on Callejón de la Condesa between Madero and 5 de Mayo streets, with entrances on both. The main courtyard, fountain and Orozco stairway mural are inside the Sanborns restaurant, so visiting means passing through the dining area. The upper floors are reached by stairs.

On the main stairway hangs Omniscience, painted by José Clemente Orozco in 1925 and among his earliest murals. Its three symbolic figures represent masculine values, their feminine counterparts and Grace above them. Chronicler Salvador Novo noted that the central torso was later reused by Orozco for Prometheus at Pomona College.
