The menu is straightforward and reasonably priced, with dishes that lean on familiar Mexican flavors, including huevos a la mexicana and chilaquiles, alongside small plates and quick bites. Guests often appreciate the mix of casual and cosy seating options, from the rooftop terrace to outdoor spots that catch the central plaza’s atmosphere.
The ambiance is quietly vibrant — a place where locals and tourists alike come to unwind, people-watch, or enjoy a calm meal solo or in a group. Its approachable vibe and friendly service make it a welcoming choice for families, solo diners, and anyone looking for a spot that balances casual dining with a touch of trendiness. The drink selection is broad, with coffee, cocktails, beer, and wine available, making it easy to linger over a brunch or an evening drink.
The location’s accessibility is a practical plus, with wheelchair-friendly entrances and parking, which adds to the inclusive feel of the place.

"Food is accurately related with the price, and service is very well."
"The staff were attentive and the location is good, as was the Guacamole."
"Poor service, expensive prices for food and drinks."
4 This place is definitely underrated! I happened to stumble by it for it is situated right in the center of town in Guanajuato. Such a lovely place. The staff is super friendly and helpful, plus one of them speaks English. So I was able to make requests for my fish dish, for less rice and more vegetables. The food is excellent and the price is very reasonable - this main course dish I ordered is 170 pesos. They open late, so happy to find real food for this night owl.
5 Excelent place, at a great location in Plaza de la Paz. Food is accurately related with the price, and service is very well. A great option for breakfast or dinner
5 Very nice place to relax, enjoy very good food and people watch.
4 Nice location and delicious food. But the price of cola and sprite is very expensive. (it is doubled comparing to others)
4 Delicious huevos al gusto (a la mexicana) and chilaquiles with chicken. The coffee is decent. The only complaint is the bread is served with margarine and not butter.
4 Awesome service. The steak was great. The pasta was awful.
4 We found this spot on New Year’s Day in the evening and it was great! Husband had the Paella which was good, I had the enchilada mineras and they were fantastic! The flan for dessert was exceptional. And the best service from our fast moving and friendly waiter, Francisco! We will be back!
4 Service was fast. We ordered guacamole & chips, chicken fajitas, and green posole. To drink lemonade & water. Service was fast. Food was hot & good. Sat outside listening to street musicians and watching the churches light up.
