The food and the drinks are simple, but good. The service and atmosphere remind me of sitting in my best friend's kitchen having a few drinks and some basic home snacks. Personally, while in Guanajuato, I've made this place my home away from home, and the Miguel, who is running the place has made me feel like that's exactly where I am. And, what a view!!! See my photos! Give this place a try; I don't think you will regret it.

I happened upon it while I was heating myself up the mountain to see the Pipila Monument. I was kicking myself for opting to bypass the ride up the Funicular, but now that I'm here at Bésame Cafe, I know I made the right decision! It's off the beaten path definitely, but as they say, I prefer the road less travelled. This one is definitely worth the journey. It's amazing view alone makes this spot magnificent. But then paired with a lovely owner, delicious food and drinks, this spot was truly a highlight to the city. I had a nice refreshing tequila, some delightfully brewed coffee, and simple quesadillas paired with a dish of homemade puerco that is tal off the bone, perfectly spiced, heavenly goodness. This spot is barebones, certainly, without even a menu. But honestly, you might as well not come to Guanajuato if you don't come to this cafe!

I ordered the Chilaquiles de la Casa with conchinita pebil (slow cooked shredded pork in a salsa verde and my friend had the chilaquiles with a fried egg. We both had a cappachino with mine having amaretto. The Chilaquiles were delicious but very filling. The coffee drinks were superb. They make some very artistic coffees.

The terrace is by far the best I've seen- great view, lots of tables and not loud. The entire bar is upstairs, and includes a bar (and tv where they gave graciously agreed to play the Clinton/trump debate for me tonight despite the torture that is trump) and a series of small rooms - each with comfy chairs and tables, amazing art work, perfect for studying/working/enjoying a drink or meal alone or with friends... On Sunday's (haven't been yet but sounds awesome) they have bbqs on their roof terrace. They also just built a stage on the terrace where they will have live music (not sure when it starts or how frequently) but the plan is that the shows will start at 8 and end at 10..... Unlike most places I've noticed in town, the service here is friendly and attentive (but not intrusive or excessive) and the vibe here is really chill.

Stopped by at 3:30pm and greeted at the door with a big smile. Walked up 3 floors of a completely empty restaurant and escorted to the rooftop terrace where we were sadly left at the table for more than 20 minutes without any attention. Just about to leave, the waitress is heard running up the steps to apologize to us. Their Micheladas single handedly saved this Yelp review because they were perfect. I'm very picky on about my micheladas. Alitas were absolutely delicious and nachos were great for Mexican nachos. Had to ask for serviettes. Prices were reasonable, and food was enjoyable. But the slow as molasses service left me ready to leave before I even got a drink order.

Beans were pretty much soup and the eggs were fried so long it was hard to tell they were even eggs. The orange juice was supposedly included in the breakfast price but then they charged extra for it. Best part of the meal was the bread. This was easily the worst meal I had in the city. There are so many other great food options in Guanajuato, this restaurant is a solid skip.
