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.

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.

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.

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!
