Can I tell you how badly I wanted to sit down at Mercado Hidalgo, a giant el cóctel de camarones in…read morefront of me, along with 100's of bottles of hot sauce? A modicum of caution kept me from doing so and only decreased my enjoyment of the place marginally. Mercado Hidalgo is that bustling market that sells pretty much every sort of (Mexico-adjacent) food one can imagine as well as a wide assortment of other things. It's picturesque, stimulating, and colorful and I'm not sure we have anything equivalent in the US. All the more reason to visit. I walked out with Mexican candy (a safe bet) and a brain full of images of this large place knowing that I'll settle - a bit sadly - for a state-side Shrimp Cocktail now that I'm back at home.

Located on the second floor right in front of the park where the mariachi plays and next to the iconic Teatro Juárez, this spot offers not only fantastic food but also one of the best views in town. Picture a charming, rustic setting overlooking the lively street scene below. La Trattoria blends Italian and Mexican flavors beautifully. I had the tuna appetizer and shrimp tacos both absolutely delicious and full of fresh, bold flavor. Others at our table enjoyed a variety of pasta and seafood dishes, and everyone left impressed. The drinks were also a hit they offer a solid mix of cocktails, from traditional cantaritos to crisp martinis. Whether you're in the mood for something a little different or just want to soak up the atmosphere with a great meal and a view, La Trattoria is a must. We'll definitely be back!

We did a tour of Teatro Juarez which is located in downtown Guanajato, easy to find. A short and…read moresweet one, not a lot of talking, more like self tour whichI prefer. Beautiful, intimate theater dating 1903, historic, a jewel of the city! The statues outside are beautiful and the actual concert hall inside is nice and elegant. I would love to see an opera here or any show for that matter. The chandelier is a work of art and so is the ceiling. If you visit the area, Teatro Juarez should get on your list!

We came during the 50th International Festival Cervantino (October), and there were tons of Callejoneadas groups outside of the theater! It was such a festive and fun time go visit Guanajuato! We booked one of the Callejoneadas group and met up in front of the theater. It was such a great and fun experience! I would definitely go back and do a tour inside next time. This town is so beautiful and so charming and I would love to come back and spend more time here!
