I love the way these…read morerestaurants work -- you order some food, eat it, order more if you want it, wash, rinse, repeat. It makes for easy eating! There are great meat and meatless options here. I went with papas and nopales, while my husband went with chicken and beef. Also on the recommendation of our Airbnb host, we both tried the Boing! juice in mango and it was delicious. It's made with real fruit, so there's nothing artificial in it. Well worth a taste! Our food was made fresh and came out fairly quickly and was a perfect little meal to start the afternoon. We'll definitely come back during our next visit.

Stopped by Café Tal and it ended up being one of my favorite coffee stops in Guanajuato. The shop…read morehas a quaint, peaceful vibe--the kind of place you could sit and relax with a book or catch up with friends without feeling rushed. I ordered a flat white, which was solid--smooth, nicely balanced, no complaints. But then I tasted my friends' drinks... and wow, I definitely missed out. They had variations of coffee and chocolate drinks, and every single one I tried was really, really good. Rich, velvety, and chocolatey without being overly sweet. That touch of chocolate added so much depth without overpowering the coffee. The guy at the counter was incredibly kind and patient with our group and gave genuinely great recommendations. You could tell he knew the menu well and really wanted people to enjoy what they ordered. All around, this place just hits the mark--cozy atmosphere, great drinks, and top-notch service. I'll definitely be back next time, and I'm going straight for the chocolate.

It's in the range of "Hotel Chocolate", a blue building that is easy to notice from Calle Alonso.

Then we ordered a quesadilla with carne desebrada con papa and that one was the best one of all! Prices are very reasonable, $25 pesos for Gorditas and $30 pesos for the quesadillas. Their service is quick and courteous. It seems that a lot of locals go there because they knew everyone. I highly recommend this stand if you can find it.

Pésimo lugar. Fui con mi familia para la cena navideña aparentemente en su nueva ubicación. Fue un…read moredesastre, no estaban preparados. Nos sentaron afuera cuando hacía muchísimo frío y no tenían ni calefacción para jardín porque no había llegado el gas. Eventualmente pedimos que nos acomodaran adentro (Otra mesa pidió lo mismo). Las sillas no eran muy estables lo que ocasionó que mi hermana se cayera y se diera un golpe muy fuerte. En ningún momento se le ofreció una disculpa por parte de nadie del staff, lo mínimo hubiese sido no cobrarle su plato. El lugar era prácticamente una casa, el baño estaba en un cuarto que parecía almacén. La música solo duro creo que una hora, y era un chico tocando Violín. La comida fue espantosa (el cobro de la cena navideña fue muy caro), no estuvo a las expectativas para lo que cobraron. Todo estaba casi frío y el postre toda una decepción. El mesero fue quizá 3 veces a checar nuestra mesa en las 4 horas que estuvimos ahi. Para rematar se nos dijo que la propina sería repartida entre todos los meseros y los cocineros, lo cual es injusto ya que ni siquiera estaba caliente la comida. Nunca más volveré a ese restaurante.

Loved the entire meal, found it delightful, exciting, and more affordable than it could have been…read more The sampling menu is probably worth it, but we ordered off the menu, the smoked fideo soup is the least expensive thing and had fideo made in house which was very thin and delicate. We also ordered the omega salad, which was very well balanced, and the curry chicken, which was very tasty and had a Mexican twist with adobo flavours and guacamole. We finished with the deconstructed pie, which, yes, some people find deconstructing meals passé, but in this case I found it valid, as the lemon curd was very bright and the raspberries and mint leaf were surprising - I don't even like mint normally and I loved it. That said, the second time around it was an utter disappointment.
