They also do a 'bait-and-switch' with you regarding the trompo. The place has "trompo" in the name and in the logo, and you see it right there in the kitchen, but the pastor meat you get isn't from the trompo. The pastor actually tasted more like chicken than pork also. They also initially forgot our cervezas and we had to ask for them. Yet on a positive note, the salsas are extremely spicy and delicious. But overall, this felt more like a tourist trap being right in the center of Guanajuato City rather than a serious taco place, so I'd seek out other options.

The food was tasty and probably my favorite agua de horchata. However I will say that the name es…read moretrompo but my tacos Al pastor were not from the trompo. Not sure if that is a later in the evening type thing but I wanted trompo and didn't get that.

Los Campos is a highly rated restaurant in Guanajuato. We decided to visit for dinner only to…read morediscover it was only us as diners. Normally, this would cause a red flag but perhaps it was early or an off night. Los Campos is located on the south-eastern side of Centro Historico district and is an easy walk from Jardin de la Union. What drew us to Los Campos was the referenced diversity of their menu. My companion eats chicken and fish, while I am a vegan and plant-based. Their menu has multiple vegan, vegetarian, and gluten-free options. While the flavors were pretty good, it was the plate presentation that was exceptional and we both felt that Los Campos was a little too pretentious for us. I was limited to order the Chaminones con Mezcal. Mushrooms flambeed in Mezcal with orange zest and dried chile. My wife, although not excited to try, did have the Burrito de Cerdo Ahumado en Salsa Colorado. It wasn't that Los Campos was too fancy, it was more like we, as diners, were more comfortable in other settings. We would suspect that diners from the United States or from Europe would fall in love with the avant-garde interiors and plate presentations. From all accounts, that all seems to be true, it's just our style. Our food was good and was plated expertly and I don't have any issues recommending Los Campos for a romantic dinner out for a couple.

Located in the heart of Guanajuato, Casa Valadez is a gem hiding in plain sight. Even on a busy…read moreSunday afternoon with no reservation, we were seated within minutes--already a pleasant surprise. We were fortunate enough to get a window table with a perfect view of the iconic Teatro Juárez. What a treat! The moment I tasted their tortilla soup, I was transported back in time. I first tried it twenty-five years ago, and with the very first spoonful, memories flooded back. It is still just as rich, comforting, and absolutely worth trying. Our party of three ordered the Menú del Día for only 300 pesos, which included an entrée, a first and second course, and a choice of coffee or dessert. Oh my goodness--the quality was outstanding. From the careful presentation of every dish, to the exceptional flavor, spotless restrooms, gracious staff, and unbeatable location, Casa Valadez easily earns five stars from me. If you're visiting Guanajuato, this restaurant is a must. Bonus: Their wine selection is surprisingly extensive!

Maybe I came on a really, really, REAAALLY off afternoon cause how this place has a perfect rating is dumbfounded. We waited over an hour for very simple dishes (nachos, guacamole, papas fritas, and sopas de pollo) that require teeny weeny bit of cooking. I know "simple" is subjective, but you agree....RIGHT?! All fine and dandy if the food came out banging delicious, BUT it did not!! The sopas de pollo was inedible. I hadn't eaten all day and came from a 3 hour hike, and I still did not eat this soup (starvation won over bland, tasteless, lukewarm soup). The best thing was the papas fritas, and it was mediocre at best. The service was not only terribly slow, but inattentive. We all finished our lemonade within 20 minutes and sat around with empty glasses for the rest of the meal. Don't worry, we are not horrible human beings and still tipped the server for his efforts, but gee golly you are so bad at your job dude!

We managed to snag an outside table (only 3) on a beautiful temperate evening. The atmosphere was great; the sound of a lonely horn playing "Summertime"carried in with the occasional breeze. The food: great tempura shrimp tacos (pics) accompanied by a hot salsa that is not simply "snappy", but also quite flavorful. My wife had the chicken soup first served as a simple bowl filled with chicken, of course, along with a bevy of veggies into which hot chicken broth is poured! Yummy yum yum! Finally, the guacamole was fresh and flavorful with fresh chips and passed the "far too salty" test with a flourish. And not to overlook service: friendly and very helpful assisting my wife with some dietary issues. All in all, a great place
