Consider this approachable way of tasting nopales (cactus) without committing to a whole nopales entree. Tip: Use Google Translate and take a photo of the menu.

I'll be honest. Gorditas are not my favorite Mexican dish but my husband loves them. Our tour guide…read morekept telling us that we would eat Gorditas in Bernal because they have a special cord that has grown in the area which makes the most beautiful blue corn masa, or dough. The restaurant has all sorts of different fillings from chorizo with potato to chicken Tinga to nopales. The waiter was accommodating and helpful. It's a good space during Covid because it's really really big and you can be far away from all the other tables. It is also nice in the heat to have the break inside. Delicious lemonade too. My family all loved the gorditas.

Gorditas were delicious, service was terrible, and micheladas were bland. I recommend for food but…read morenot much else

Wow I wasn't expecting so much flavor.. the portions are big too!!! You have 3 types of mole "1 spicy, spicier and sweet" I loved all 3 and 2 of them have toppings "rose petals and fried banana" which I never would of thought would go with each bite!!! And they did perfectly combination!!! It also came with white rice "that? I was not impressed, it was undercooked!" But just the mole itself was enough Also ordered palomas and they were bomb!!! Perfectly mixed drink the salsa with chips were good too!!! Spicy but good We also ordered "queso fundido with chorizo" small little cast iron pan but filled to the top and damm fills you up!!! Try it out!!

The service is good, but the food was blah. My husband ordered the ara Hera fajitas and I ordered…read morethe camarones al ajillo. My rice was cold, not warm at all but like it came right out of the refrigerator. They were out of some of the menu items and drink selections. Probably won't come back.

YUMMY!!!!! My favorite tacos in the area! And I ate a ton of tacos on my recent volunteer trip to…read moreBernal. We were staying next door at Hotel Feregrino and could smell the delicious scent of freshly made tacos every morning. Seriously, they have these massive vats of pork cooking in the front. You can sit down in the restaurant for a nice sit-down experience or grab to go from the front. They provide limes, hot sauce, cilantro, pico de gallo, everything you need. Tacos are MX14 (slightly above average price for the area, but not by much, and they are completely worth it), and they are AMAZING! Like rock your socks off amazing. Barbacoa and carnitas all day, every day. Also, they have an extensive and delicious breakfast menu. I miss this place so much.

Note: review is for the restaurant only!!…read more The restaurant at Hotel El Refugio is one of the few sit-down spots open around 8 PM in Bernal. My volunteer group decided to go for dinner one night. I was super excited that they had salad on the menu. I was happy to get some vegetables to balance out all the tacos I had eaten, but half the salad was shredded iceberg lettuce. Loved the stuff on the salad, but they could've done a better job balancing. That said, salad was hard to find so I'm still grateful. And it came with a quesadilla on the side! A pretty mediocre one, but nice to have. The restaurant also serves breakfast all day and the omelettes looked delicious. Service was nice, but it took a long time to make everyone's food and it all came out at different times. Not going to miss this place, but was glad that I got a midweek salad.

We had breakfast. The food was ok, given the variety of options available in the town…read more Unfortunately Bernal wakes up after 10am and it was one of the few places to have breakfast. The problem was the customer service. The owner, a Tigresa wannabe, was rude to the customers and waiters. Micromanaging everything and promising new customers a table in a few minutes. She was promising our table. Then she ordered check to be brought to us, and asked the waiter to wait in front of me until I pay, while I was still finishing my coffee. Rude, rude, rude. My wife was so upset and offended by the owners behavior that she started crying. The table in front of us was the same story. Worst thing is that she kept on promising all the new customers a table in a few minutes so people pilled up in front of the restaurant. Even for micromanaging you have to have skills.

Situated at the base of the mountain Peña de Bernal is this roof top restaurant with gorgeous views…read moreany where you sit. Staff was super nice and all smiles but a tad on the slow side. They would forget the drinks and silverware and such. We were starving so being hangry did not help. The sopa de Tortilla was on point and tangy with just the right amount of spice. After traveling for weeks I wanted some greens and opted for the chef salad that was amazing and huge that I was able to share with friends. Once again great spot but very slow service when we were the ONLY table hence -2 stars. Still I would stop by for dinner maybe its faster at that time? We did lunch.
