One of Guanajuato's best gourmet restaurants. Beautiful flavorful food. We order the Pulpo a las Brasas. Let me tell you it was amazing. I usually add lemon to my seafood but this dish didn't need it. read more

I really wanted to give this place a better rating but frankly the food just wasn't good. We were there on a Saturday late evening and had hoped for paella but they were out. So we went with what the waitress recommended - clam pasta and steak. The pasta was mushy, over cooked and had no flavor. Clams seemed to have a shell without the clams in it, hmmm. Steak was drenched in a sauce that tasted like it came out of a bottle. We had the fried provolone for appetizer which was decent, probably the best part of the entire meal. Service was mediocre. I was hoping for a better experience as this was my one dinner in Guanajuato, unfortunately my meal didn't live up to the other reviews read more

Good tasty food. I think it was mostly Italian. Anyway it was nice to be around Frida and her man Diego. I think it was a great ambiance. A little on the romantic side but what do you expect it's Frida and Diego in love. The place was dead when we were there but it was ok we got fast service. I hope you decide to check this place out. It's a little hidden but with it. Service we great the servers were kind. read more

La Taberna de Diego y Frida - mar y Tierra. Yummy - Mexican Near Me - Guanajuato, GUA

I have been here several times. Consistently a fantastic place, with a comfortable atmosphere. A hidden gem, but only open on Saturday & Sunday evenings. read more

My first time in Guanajuato and this restaurant is highly recommended by my hotel. Its a great restaurant, very cozy and intimate. I was greeted by Alberto, the chef/owner. Alberto was helpful and his recommendations was perfect. Mixed Tapas was perfectly prepared. Paired with the House Red wine. For main dish, I ordered the Steak. It was very good. Its tender and just melts in your mouth. Im surprised that its one of the best steak Ive ever had. Alberto and his staff are all excellent host. Alberto came around the many tables to greet the guest amd also asked if everything is okay. Love the atmosphere of the place. I wanted to return again before I got bavk but I was disappointed that it was closed Monday and Tuesday. Highly recommended. read more

La Taberna de Diego y Frida - Mexican Near Me - Guanajuato, GUA

We had an absolutely amazing meal here on our last night in Guanajuato. We spotted it after visiting the Diego Rivera Museum and then remembered it a couple days later when looking for a nice spot to have dinner on Dia de los Muertos. However it took us a very long time to get from our apartment to the restaurant because there were so many interesting events happening around the city, that we stopped to watch several of them. We didn't arrive to the restaurant until 8:30PM (Sunday night). The host informed us they closed at 8PM but he would ask the kitchen if they would still serve us. Not wanting to put them out, we declined his generous offer, thanked him, and crossed the street in search of another restaurant. A minute later, the host ran out of the restaurant and across the street to us and said they had a table for us and the kitchen would be happy to serve us. We thanked him profusely and followed him inside the restaurant. The decor is lovely and modern and of course proudly showcasing several photos and paintings of Frida and Diego. We immediately noticed the clientele was just a little bit different than what we'd seen at other restaurants in the city. Meaning, everyone else was speaking English (not the staff, but the other patrons). We quickly observed that the other customers were most likely ex-pats, being that the menu was a bit pricier than other restaurants in the area (but still not expensive by any means). Our host informed us that they'd actually been busier that evening than during Cervantino, which meant they were out of a lot of food. A woman, who I believe was the owner/chef, came over and listed off what they still had available, which was only about 20% of the menu. Wow! This place is popular so make sure you get here early! My husband asked if they had any paella left and she said she only had a small amount left and that we could have it free of charge since it wasn't enough for a serving. It made an absolutely wonderful appetizer though. I've never had paella before, but if it all tastes as good as what she brought out, I'm a huge fan of it now! Absolutely amazing. We're still talking about that paella. Another item we can't stop talking about is the tapenade they serve. It was the best thing I've ever put on bread. Period. Every time I took a bite, I had to make a "MMMMM!" sound. We couldn't figure out how they get just the right amount of spice in there, but it's perfect. Just enough for give you little bit of spice without burning your mouth. The spice heats up your mouth for an instant, and then immediately dissipates so you can enjoy the rest of your food. Amazing. We both settled on the beef filets, one made with a red salsa and the other with a black. These pieces of steak were H U G E and delicious. I'm not a big meat eater, so I could only handle about half of one before tapping out, but the meat was so tender and flavorful, it was unreal. This restaurant is just a delight. The service was friendly and beyond amazing, and the food was out of this world. We will definitely make this part of our rotation for our upcoming trips to GTO. Next time we'll arrive on time, though. read more

I'm a big fan of Frida Khalo so of course I had to come and visit this place good food, I would expect more of Frida but good place

Delicious. Everything on the menu is meticulously prepared and over the top. We travel a lot and this is a rare gem and a must see if you're in the area. read more

COMIDA Y SERVICIO ES EXEPCIONAL!!!! Alberto was by far one of the most friendly chefs I have encountered. The food and ambiance was amazing - especially for how hectic it was on Valentine's Day. Apps/Entradas - baguette with Serrano ham was amazing!!! The paella was awesome, as was the ribeye. Finished off with two espressos delivered by a local coffee shop at the end of the night. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! read more

We are vegan and stumbled upon this gem in NY Day. Lovely ambiance with Diego Rivera murals and good service. We Ordered the huitlacoche tacos, guacamole, margaritas and a salad. The tacos were amazingly tasty! The salad was huge, healthy, and exceptionally delicious. The guacamole was diced instead of mixed but that didn't deter from the zesty flavor. The margaritas were strong! read more

Delicious pasta and delightful waitstaff. I wish it were open more than just Thursday-Sunday!

Not a traditional Mexican restaurant atmosphere (closer to a modern pub setting) but the service and the food (octopus, salmon carpaccio and seafood pasta) are amazing. read more

This restaurant is small and cozy. We came 2 nights in a row because the food was so good! The pasta mar de recuerdos is to die for! Definitely recommend this restaurant! read more

This place has amaaaazing food; while it is a bit on the expensive side, it is totally worth it!! The service is top notch. The waitress was extremely nice and the owner/chef, Alberto, came by our table to make sure that we were having a good time. My brother got the lasagna, and he told me he'll never be able to eat any other lasagna ever again because it was the best he'd ever had! Their capresse salads are amazing as well; that was my favorite and I highly recommend it. Oh, and the piña coladas!! Muy rica!!! :D read more

Nice atmosphere, right in the middle of town. Very friendly staff with great service. The food was excellent! read more

La Taberna de Diego y Frida - Nice atmosphere, friendly staff with great service, excellent food! - Mexican Near Me - Guanajuato, GUA

I live in Guanajuato (4 years). I am really shocked that this restaurant is given a '$$' rating. I have only had New Years dinner there. It's too expensive for me otherwise. It's only one of a couple of restaurants in town that I consider too expensive. It's pricier than El Midi, which is rated '$$$'. I don't get that. IMHO this is the most expensive place in town. Don't get me wrong. I gave it 4 stars, and it would have been 5 stars, except for the prices. The food is great. Yelp should not have just one rating overall.. They should ask for ratings on service and food quality and value and ambiance and wine selection. I'd give Diego y Frida 5 stars in everything else, but 2 stars for prices. read more

I have been here three times in the two days I have been in Guanajuato. Comfy and relaxing small restuarant with yummy food and very polite staff. read more

Got here late in the evening around nine. They were quick to accommodate us with a table and we enjoyed a bottle of wine and Mescal. The staff were there, and took great care of us. The owner even suggested a discoteca for us to frequent. Tapas mixtas was a selection of cured meats on toasted bread, with shrimp and olives too. Also the Cesar contra salad was fantastic, their house dressing that was creamy, slightly tart just right. Excellent selection of wines, cerveza, and spirits. this location is right next door to El Meson de las Poetas hotel. Perfect location to enjoy a delicious meal. The restaurant fills up periodically, so you can make reservations, but we timed it just right. read more

Great food, great service.. we had the Cowboy with house red wine and whiskey. Oh and don't forget to try the cheesy spinach.

We all like the mexican food here. We even came here twice in two days. The fish and pasta are great. Although they don't have nice beer and we wait for a while but the food is worth waiting. read more

Cool atmosphere and great food! My favorite in Guanejuato. As an airline pilot travel here often and have eaten at many places... When I take people here they love it. Delicious and fun! read more

We came in off hours for a snack and drink. Food, service and drinks were tasty; I only wish we had been able to return for dinner!

Terrible food and not worth the price. Go to Mestizo on the same street. The food generally lacks taste and certainly falls short of anythimg resembling Italian food. I was terribly embarrassed when I brought two of my friends here and was faced with the most horrendous food in months... The question remains, who could be so terrible in cooking as to create such bad food? Has the person running the kitchen any imagination, or training, has he a pallette? Please be careful when reading reviews in Yelp. Some people are paid to give good reviews. Always check how many reviews they have given, and for how long. read more

Nice cozy space, good menu. We came at an off time (between lunch and dinner) so perhaps it's OUR fault that they are out of the beer I wanted, and the dish I wanted (huitlacoche) despite its appearance on the menu. Proprietor sits looking at phone while I wait with empty beer glass. Food is good, when it finally comes, but minus points for indifferent service. read more

Food was good, but cold. Service was on point and prices were cheap. But they did nothing to fix the cold pasta that was ordered.

A bit disappointing. I ordered pasta, asked if it was meant to be cold. They took it back and still brought me a cold plate. The sauce was good but only if would have been hot. read more

Average food at a relatively high price to the other restaurants in the area. Yes, there are great pictures of Diego and Frida on the walls but the food was nothing special. The octopus (maybe my mistake to order so far from the coast) was very chewy, the mediterranean salad was nothing like we expected-- too much iceberg lettuce. This place is classified as mexican on yelp but the staff told us that they dont have a mexican menu-- thety think they are mediterranean. read more

Had a great experience here! The food was amazing and the staff were so helpful and attentive - the chef, Alberto, even came to visit my table. The restaurant itself is very relaxing (its on a side street so its quiet), cozy, charming, with Freida Kahlo paintings on the wall. Its pricier than other places in Guanajuato but that still amounts to very little in USD (my full dinner was ~13 dollars). I would definitely recommend this place!! read more

Great Restaurant, very cozy intimate ambiance, the food is prepared at the moment, we order pasta and they were perfectly cook, try this small great restaurant! read more

Arriving in Guanajuato we were met by many different colors and most importantly, smells of all the different foods. Deciding where to eat was the hardest part however, we stumbled upon this lovely restaurant. Upon entering we immediately felt welcome and were greeted by the host and sat. The atmosphere was delightful. Cozy yet a buzz with chatter (not too loud). The menus had a nice selection of food which all sounded appetizing. After receiving our food and drink, Alberto the owner, came to our table to ask how everything was and it was delicious. All in all, this restaurant is a tucked away jem in the middle of a bustling town full of life. read more

Went here based on reviews and was quite disappointed. Everyone in my party of four thought their meal was below average, especially considering the price. It's too bad because we really wanted to like the place and were quite hungry at the time. read more
