    Sopes: chicken, asada & adobada

    Best service and delicious food. This place was recommended by a local. It's located next to Mercado Hidalgo on the 2nd floor. It's a humble establishment but the owner was so attentive. Home style food and economical prices. Must try, really good

    Located one the 2nd floor of an all-restaurant Mercado.

    Having eaten everything in Guanajuato from upscale restaurants to street food, Lolita's was my favorite place in the city for a quick and delicious homestyle meal at an incredible value. This authentic eatery is located on the second floor of an all-restaurant mercado. Once inside, just walk past the other food places, and don't stop until you reach Lolita's. The restaurant overlooks a small plaza and gets a very nice breeze. The food here is so fantastic that I ended up going 2 days in a row. I thoroughly enjoyed the milanesa de pollo with fresh tortillas, as well as the gorditas. And the frijoles are to die for! Do you like salsas? If so, Lolita always has at least 6 different freshly made salsa varieties (just be sure to ask!). She kept bringing me out more to try once I told her I make my own salsas. Each one is absolutely delicious and unique in their own way. I was in heaven. Good quality and authentic Guanajuato-style cuisine! I would have never found this place if it weren't for the previous reviewer (thank you!)

    You'll find a lot of fondas (inexpensive restaurants) in this particular area, all headed by powerful women scouting out potential customers and calling out to them, and then subsequently getting into verbal battles with each other (between the food stalls that is) to secure customers and it feels like one big business ploy to attract people in general to these fondas. Maybe not since each fonda has something different to offer. My friend Paola's cousin Sandi and Sandi's boyfriend Luis recommended that we eat at this place. They say that both the enchiladas verdes and the enmoladas are must-try dishes. I got the enmoladas and, as expected, the mole was rich and filling. The enchiladas mineras, considered a typical dish for León, also looked and tasted pretty good. One of the ladies asked me if I wanted anything more, but I didn't quite understand her Spanish so I didn't respond, so the lady said "he probably doesn't even understand what I'm saying" in Spanish and I died of embarrassment LOL. This is definitely an eating experience to have.

    Come here if you want to try the best Enchiladas Mineras in Guanajuato. This place is so…read moreunassuming, unpretentious, homely, and not to mention extremely cheap. You get an option of 2 main dishes to choose from and typically most people go for the Enchiladas Mineras. You can get the Enchiladas with or without chicken. Unless you are a vegetarian, go for the chicken. The chicken is so soft and flavorful and the enchiladas have the perfect seasoning. The cheese, carrots, potatoes all are such simple but powerful additions to the dish that you cannot help but almost lick your empty plate within minutes. The pickled jalapeños and carrots that are served on each table are so delicious and the jalapeños have such a nice kick to complement this dish. I also ordered the hibiscus juice, which honestly has such a large serving and is a must here! The place does get crowded at around 7pm with a line, especially since there are not that many seats. After almost an hour wait (trust me it is worth it), I was seated. If you come alone or with just one person, chances are, you will be sitting with strangers and making friends as you eat.

Arrived at the perfect time because we were a group of 15 and we were able to get seated. I was going to share with my wife but after eating a little I had to order my own plate. Very delicious and reasonably priced.

    I had such high hopes for this place. I'd read many good reviews about the food and atmosphere, and…read morethe photos of their specialties were mouth-watering. Unfortunately, for us anyway, they didn't live up to their promise. It's a fairly long taxi ride to get to. People talk about the "amazing views," but only a couple of tables can see them, and they are not at all amazing. Just a jumble of houses and utility wires with some hills in the background. The restaurant itself is very charming and warm, and the staff is polished and welcoming. Things started off well with the nopale appetizer, a very delicate but umami-infused dish. But then the main courses were very disappointing. I had the sous vide beef short ribs with a tlilchili sauce on a bed of a few black beans and red onions. Sounds great, doesn't it? I was expecting "fall-off-the-bone" short ribs. Instead I got a dried-out chunk of meat that I could barely cut with a knife. Terrible. I could only eat part of it. My partner ordered a chicken dish that was bland and also a bit dry. We both ended up leaving half of our entrees - which we never do. We were still so hungry, we had to get tacos from a stand by our hotel afterwards. Not worth the effort or the price in my opinion - such a let down.

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!

Everyone was super nice and the manager wanted us to be comfortable so let us chose any table we wanted and offer some suggestions on the menu and drinks. Needless to say the experience was incredible and the food was delicious. Casa Valadez in Guanajuato is a well-known restaurant, not a historical building with a documented history.

Here's a bit more about Casa Valadez and its context within Guanajuato: Restaurant is not a historical site: It's important to clarify that Casa Valadez is a restaurant, not a historic house or building with a known history of its own, according to Evendo and Elyse Jessica Glickman.
