They only took pesos here (not American dollars or card). Food was really good. Service was friendly and pretty fast. It feels like you're inside someone's home-it's very charming. We really enjoyed this place. read more

If I could have breakfast here every day, I'd be a better person. Great location just off a main street. Super cute decor inside. Service was amazing, they were so kind. They speak English and Spanish but encouraged me to practice my Spanish, applauding the effort. Cafe de Olla was the best I've ever had. Still dreaming about it... Huge menu, something for everyone. We were a large group and we all left full and happy. read more

Las "mineras" están meh, solo me comí una de las 3. También el plato de "carne asada" se miraba más bien como puerco. No lo recomiendo.

The food was not good. Everything tasted like it had old ingredients. I had the pozole rojo and it tasted watered down. My son had the cheese burger and the cheese was mixed with butter. The spaghetti was plain and flavorless. The service was great, and everyone was kind. But still, the food was not delicious. At the end the guy accidentally charged us 344 American dollars. We had to call the bank and cancel it. Overall I do not recommend this place. read more

While in town for the Day of the Dead festivities, we broke from the parade and popped into Ofelia, at the suggestion of a friend, who was legit craving their mole that she just had there the night before, lol. It's not a glamorous establishment by any means, and almost looks someone's kitchen that just added tables, very familial and home-like. I used Google Translate to read the menu and decided on the Sopes Campechanos, which were like little tarts made of fried masa with what you'd expect on a chalupa, here in the States. Really delicious! The next night, day after the festivities, all the restaurants were packed, which we did not expect and neither did our appetites. Being unfamiliar with the town and already really hungry we trudged through the masses in the streets back to our trusty ol' Ofelia. I then opted for Caldo Tlalpeño, which was kind of like a blend of tortilla soup and pazole. It had shredded chicken, garbanzo beans and cabbage. Very flavorful broth, super comforting. Also snagged the guac which was dynamite! The staff were very friendly and managed the business of the restaurant well. So nice we had it twice! read more

We had a lovely breakfast at Casa Ofelia. Everything was delicious and service was excellent. You can't go wrong with this spot!

Casa Ofelia's is a hidden gem just around the corner from the main Jardin on a pedestrian only street. My wife and I split the Cazuela Ofelia Para 2 Personas, which was very good and there was plenty of food to allow our daughters to pick off some morsels from our plate. Our waitor was also good. When we were looking at the menu and asked what kind of chili was "guajillo" the waiter kindly brought us out a small bowl of guajillo sauce with small pieces of bread so we could try the sauce. He also brought out some of the dried guajillo peppers. Overall Casa Ofelia's was very good, we would definitely eat there again. read more

Tourists, beware!!!! This shady place will play one of the oldest tricks in the book: you order an Item that CAN be upgraded by the addition of something, of course for an extra fee, without actually asking for the upgrade. Then , when they bring you the food out, you have automatically been served the upgraded, more expensive version. When confronted with it, the waiter just stared at me and says: "that is how we offer it, how we serve it. If you didn't want the extra item, you needed to let me know". What kind of BS is that? Add to that, at one point all the servers and cashier left the venue to go across the street, smoke, and come back to serve food and go about their day without washing their hands. So, I would say, go elsewhere. 99% of the businesses in Guanajuato are legit, this one falls in the 1% that are not. read more

The best food I've ever had. My husband and I were looking for a breakfast type restaurant and found this one. They have a variety of food that you can pick from. My husband had the Desayuno Minero and I had the Desayuno Ofelia, recommended by our amazing waiter. The food was amazing, so tasty and fresh. My husband had the Fresada drink, also recommended by the waiter, he loved it! Definitely recommend this place. THUMBS UP! read more

We found this place a couple of days before we left. I wish we would've found it earlier. Food is great service was great everything was really good and authentic. We will definitely Be a place we will eat when we return read more

Looks very authentic as it has very rustic decor, very colorful and pretty, but the food was not tasty. The bread was hard, my eggs were overcooked. The servers were a bit strange. Ya skip. read more

Great Mexican food are a very readable price. Very good service and they also have English menus.

We were originally going for breakfast to the highly rated tourist spot next door. We were told it was full and that the wait time was "unknown". A few steps up we found Casa Ofelia. It is a warm and inviting cafe. The food is excellent. The service professional. Jus t go there. read more

Very disappointing experience. We were 7 (5 adults & 2 kids) in our party. The first waiter (seems to be the owner) was rude & inpatient. The second waiter was very nice & helpful. Food was not good..chilaquiles were saggy, the bread was hard, the avena was uncooked on 2 orders & the third order it had only water & few flakes (maybe 2-3/spoon), the quesadillas were also cold. We pay the ticket & left. To avoid disappointment & a bad e experience, avoid this place. read more

I was very pleased about my experience. Came here for dinner. The place was pretty empty when I went in except for a big family of 8. I was greeted as I walked in. The service great and attentive. I ordered a Margarita, it taste really good, but a little not enough tequila. Tortilla Chicken Soup was good. Its loaded with chunks of chicken and lots of vegetables. The Beef Fajita was also good. Beef was tender and well seasoned. Besides the food, I really love the atmosphere of the place. With art pieces and paintings all over the place and all the wall covered with art. It's like eating at an art gallery. I really enjoyed looking through the different pieces. I do recommend to anyone if you are visiting Guanajuato. read more

The restaurant is very unique and colorful. Love the art feel to it. Service was a bit slow but the café de la Olla was good( sweetened with piloncillo) I had the Desayuno Minero. It was delicious and good size portion. The kids had the Hot Cakes and it was plentiful. I would definitely comeback and try other stuff off their breakfast menu. read more

Terrible, do not eat here if you're expecting fresh authentic Mexican food. We ordered the Huevos Bohemios and they were nothing as described. First of all the tortilla was prepackaged not fresh at all and not fried as described. The beans tasted like canned beans, the atole de fresa was also from packaged maizena. We asked if it was made there and they said it was. Very disappointing so called "breakfast". Service was as okay but the food was terrible. It was made in less than 10 minutes and we wondered why, of course it was all prepackaged. Gross. read more

Very authentic Mexican food, we ordered the Chilaquiles with the green sauce, 2 eggs and beans and enchiladas plate with carne on top splashed with bean sauce. It was very good but the chilaquiles where superb. café de Hoya was very good. read more

Way better than truco 7.... far from customer service and flavor, good amount of portions and the taste!!, well we ordered guava water and other I can't remember, but all good and natural, nothing from concentrate or powder, was really good. For the remainder of our vacations we'll come again here. You're looking for real mexican food and good taste? This is the place...oh! I ordered rachera meet and it was the most tender and juicy meet ever, you don't need knife to slice it, it was so soft and tender that would cut very easy, and the taste was the best, the best, the best. Sorry, I think I fell in love with rachera meet. read more

Service was decent but the food was not your authentic Mexican food, don't go here. Waste of money

Overall bland food and awful service. Got our check which was higher than it should have been. Asked about it and we got "our prices have gone up" looks like we got hit with the tourist tax. Shady and unprofessional. read more

Ah-mazing! Ordered the meal for two, which came with a tostada and side of beans per person. Plus a large platter of queso fundido, nopales, steak, chicken, and chorizo with tortillas on the side to make your own tacos. Very filling and could probably feed three as we had leftovers. We also had chips and salsa on the side which were also good and just the right amount of spicy. Margarita was delicious ... probably the best I had in Guanajuato. Highly recommend if you want a great filling meal for not a lot of money. Not too packed and servers were friendly. read more

Muy rico y buenos precios , recomiendo los chilaquiles verdes con pollo y los licuados de plátano con chocolate también

My group was very disappointed about our experience. Just like another reviewer said--this place was recommended to us by a local. The waiter and the greeter looked like they'd rather be anywhere else. The soup Azteca (I believe that was it's name?) tasted like tomato soup. I thought it was ok, but everyone else didn't like it. My friends really did not like their enchiladas mineras. I ordered sopes and they were so hard/burnt/stale(?) that I could hardly cut them with a knife. The toppings tasted ok, but those sopes themselves were terrible. The drinks we ordered we only ok, as well. We were all irritated that we wasted a meal of our vacation here. read more

I went next door at Truco 7 and had horrible service and cold food. Came here for something else. I ordered red pozole and it was served with a smile and it was hot! Just what I needed. read more

Casa Ofelia - Enchiladas mineras (típico local) con huevo y frijoles y chilaquiles - Mexican Near Me - Guanajuato, GUA

I am sadly disappointed... Came here because someone in the hotel recommended it... Walked in and saw that the place was empty... My husband convinced me to stay saying we came after their dinner rush was over with... Ordered enchiladas suisas, expecting them to have at least a little bit of a spicy taste to them, not at all the case. I tried my husband's enchiladas tricolor and tried to keep my disappointment from being so obvious as I've been trying to show him how this "real Mexican food" doesn't compare to that in the states... Also their Agua de Jamaica is bad... :( I would come here again... read more

I can't say enough good things about Casa Ofelia. Not only was the food excellent, but the service was impeccable and exceeded expectations. We stopped in for lunch and it made such an impression on us that we returned with our entire family for dinner. The people that run Casa Ofelia are so warm and welcoming and take pride in their restaurant and it shows. I HIGHLY recommend walking a bit past the popular (but truly disappointing) restaurants inside of the Plaza and dining at this gem. Thank you, Casa Ofelia! We will return!!! read more

Nice atmosphere , but mediocre food. They served me a frighteningly rubbery steak that tasted nothing like beef. We are still wondering what kind of meat it was. It had a peculiar beige color. Sadly, we came to this place because we wanted to expand from El Truco 7. The question remains, why is this place not able to produce at least average food? The fact is that it is a lively and bright little place. Cooking a steak is not that difficult. And ordinary chefs even know how to tenderize a meat that is rough. read more

This place is cute and centrally located. Service was prompt and attentive. We had the 2 person assorted meat dinner. Basically you assemble your own tacos with chicken, arracherra, chorizo and melted cheese which sits in the middle of the platter. It comes with small salads and beans etc. A lot of food-tasty but not high end. Good value for copious quantities and great value. Our meal including two beers and a large glass of house wine was $20 usd. It's good, cheap eats. read more

I've been here a few times now and the food is usually good. Not huge servings but I like the chicken mole and is what I usually order. This time though the chips were totally stale. I won't give up on it and I'll speak up next time if something isn't right because it's in a nice location and if you happen to sit in the front area it's brighter and you can look out the doors and windows. The back area is kind of dark and not very inviting. read more

We just had at Casa Ofelia an hour ago. I had Emoladas con pollo and it is one of the best Moles I have ever tasted. Just perfectly balanced between the chocolate, the chile, and the sweet. Wife had what looked like a very decent hamburger. Someone said the jamaica was not good. Wrong! Highly recomended.. read more

Yuck. We ate next door at Truco 7 yesterday, see my review, and based on Yelp comments we tried Casa Ofelia today. Ok, the servers are friendlier, but in technical terms, the food sucks. We ate the same dishes, enchiladas mineras and embolsadas. Both the dishes were essentially dry, we had to ask for more sauce, and I believe the extra sauce they brought for the mineras was different from the original dish. Didn't complement the dish. My novia is pissed at me as we walk out the door! read more
