Even though we were the only people in the restaurant, they took 45 minutes to bring out (most of) our food. They failed to bring the baked potato for one of the steak dishes and failed to bring one of the meals altogether. Our waitress didn't check on us at all once the food was brought out. I had to go looking all over for our waitress to tell her an entire meal was missing. By the time I found her, all of our group had finished eating so we canceled the missing dish. The waitress didn't bother to apologize nor did she discount the steak plate despite missing the side which was part of the meal. Save your money and go elsewhere.

This was the third time that I have dined at La Casa Colorada as part of a large group and once…read moreagain, I had a great experience. The historic city of Guanajuato, Mexico is located in the geographic center of the country and is one of the most interesting and picturesque cities in all of Mexico. It was the the site of the first battle of the Mexican War of Independence and was known for it's rich silver mines during Mexico's colonial era. It is a city built into a narrow valley with a rich pallet of colorful homes and small winding alleyways. There is no better place to view this city than from the terrace of La Casa Colorada with a cold cervesa in hand...and that is exactly what our group did prior to an excellent dinner in this unique boutique restaurant/hotel perched above the city below. Our group sampled several of their signature dishes including an outstanding Ribeye, a winning filet mignon and a fresh tuna steak cooked to perfection. All the offerings were excellent coupled with some fine wine. Colorada once again provided an outstanding dining experience in a magnificent setting.

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!

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.
