What Locals Say

Pandora Young From Google 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.

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

Nice location and delicious food. But the price of cola and sprite is very expensive. (it is doubled comparing to others)

Adam Kimbrough From Google 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.

Armando Jimenez Diaz From Google 4

Awesome service. The steak was great. The pasta was awful.

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!
