Best Restaurants in Guanajuato

Prepare to be charmed by the picturesque city of Guanajuato, with its amazing architecture, great bars and delicious food. Here are some of the top restaurants to visit.

If you want to treat yourself, check out Casa Valadez on the Jardin. It sits in front of Teatro Juarez and makes for great people watching. The generous portions of international cooking will definitely fill you up.

Mestizo, which used to combine an art gallery with restaurant space, now dedicates itself solely to food. The steak dishes are particularly good, and everything is high quality.

For something more rustic, check out La Carreta. It’s unpretentious with huge portions of honest Mexican fare, and it won’t break the bank.

Another budget option is Habibti Falafel, for when you want a break from tacos. It’s a tiny space with only a few tables, but the fresh falafel really is excellent.

If you want to watch local life go by as you eat, check out the food stalls in Mercado Hidalgo. There is an overwhelming number of eateries, but find something you like and pull up a seat at the high tables. All manner of people eat here, from rushed businessmen to old ladies out for a stroll.
