I had such high hopes for this place. I'd read many good reviews about the food and atmosphere, and…read morethe photos of their specialties were mouth-watering. Unfortunately, for us anyway, they didn't live up to their promise. It's a fairly long taxi ride to get to. People talk about the "amazing views," but only a couple of tables can see them, and they are not at all amazing. Just a jumble of houses and utility wires with some hills in the background. The restaurant itself is very charming and warm, and the staff is polished and welcoming. Things started off well with the nopale appetizer, a very delicate but umami-infused dish. But then the main courses were very disappointing. I had the sous vide beef short ribs with a tlilchili sauce on a bed of a few black beans and red onions. Sounds great, doesn't it? I was expecting "fall-off-the-bone" short ribs. Instead I got a dried-out chunk of meat that I could barely cut with a knife. Terrible. I could only eat part of it. My partner ordered a chicken dish that was bland and also a bit dry. We both ended up leaving half of our entrees - which we never do. We were still so hungry, we had to get tacos from a stand by our hotel afterwards. Not worth the effort or the price in my opinion - such a let down.

Everything here is FRESHLY MADE (they buy everything the DAY of). La Vela didn't disappoint. Reasonably priced, great services, and lively atmosphere (their music taste is stupendous). Bring plenty of cash because you will want to check out their whole menus. But seriously, bring cash since it's cash only. Also, don't forget to ask them about their 3 house salsa (red, yellow, and green).

When we visited it was raining so we opted to seat inside as opposed to the patio. I literally had to tour the whole place before even seating, the art pieces they had on display/ for sale were incredible. Our waiter was very nice, he explained the menu to us and gave us suggestions on what to order. You her complementary artisan bread (different flavors available), I could have eaten just bread! That is how good it was. I ordered the tortilla soup and guajillo enchiladas, the portions are extremely generous and filling. The enchiladas were a bit too sweet for me, but exquisite mom the less. The presentation of the plates is 5 stars. I was surprised by the prices- considering the quality of the food, the quantity and the ambiance I was expecting our check to be 3x more. I will definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Guanajuato, and I can't wait to be back!!!
