Casa del Mendrugo, Colonial restaurant and museum in Historic Center, Puebla, Mexico

Casa del Mendrugo combines a restaurant serving Mexican cuisine with a museum displaying pre-Hispanic artifacts in a restored colonial building.

The Jesuits constructed this building using donations of bread crumbs, known as mendrugos, collected from local supporters during the Viceroyalty period.

The museum exhibits a collection of engraved skulls and bones related to ancient Zapotec funeral practices and Day of the Dead traditions.

The establishment operates from Monday through Saturday between 8:00 AM and 11:00 PM, with Sunday hours from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

The museum houses Chuchita, the oldest pre-Hispanic burial discovered in Puebla, alongside the largest carved bone collection in the world.
