Come here if you want to try the best Enchiladas Mineras in Guanajuato. This place is so…read moreunassuming, unpretentious, homely, and not to mention extremely cheap. You get an option of 2 main dishes to choose from and typically most people go for the Enchiladas Mineras. You can get the Enchiladas with or without chicken. Unless you are a vegetarian, go for the chicken. The chicken is so soft and flavorful and the enchiladas have the perfect seasoning. The cheese, carrots, potatoes all are such simple but powerful additions to the dish that you cannot help but almost lick your empty plate within minutes. The pickled jalapeños and carrots that are served on each table are so delicious and the jalapeños have such a nice kick to complement this dish. I also ordered the hibiscus juice, which honestly has such a large serving and is a must here! The place does get crowded at around 7pm with a line, especially since there are not that many seats. After almost an hour wait (trust me it is worth it), I was seated. If you come alone or with just one person, chances are, you will be sitting with strangers and making friends as you eat.

Wow!!! This place was hands down one of the best restaurants I've eaten at in mexico…read more The restaurant itself is gorgeous, I love the decor and the different seating areas through out. 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!!!

We had an absolutely amazing meal here on our last night in Guanajuato…read more We spotted it after visiting the Diego Rivera Museum and then remembered it a couple days later when looking for a nice spot to have dinner on Dia de los Muertos. However it took us a very long time to get from our apartment to the restaurant because there were so many interesting events happening around the city, that we stopped to watch several of them. We didn't arrive to the restaurant until 8:30PM (Sunday night). The host informed us they closed at 8PM but he would ask the kitchen if they would still serve us. Not wanting to put them out, we declined his generous offer, thanked him, and crossed the street in search of another restaurant. A minute later, the host ran out of the restaurant and across the street to us and said they had a table for us and the kitchen would be happy to serve us. We thanked him profusely and followed him inside the restaurant. The decor is lovely and modern and of course proudly showcasing several photos and paintings of Frida and Diego. We immediately noticed the clientele was just a little bit different than what we'd seen at other restaurants in the city. Meaning, everyone else was speaking English (not the staff, but the other patrons). We quickly observed that the other customers were most likely ex-pats, being that the menu was a bit pricier than other restaurants in the area (but still not expensive by any means). Our host informed us that they'd actually been busier that evening than during Cervantino, which meant they were out of a lot of food. A woman, who I believe was the owner/chef, came over and listed off what they still had available, which was only about 20% of the menu. Wow! This place is popular so make sure you get here early! My husband asked if they had any paella left and she said she only had a small amount left and that we could have it free of charge since it wasn't enough for a serving. It made an absolutely wonderful appetizer though. I've never had paella before, but if it all tastes as good as what she brought out, I'm a huge fan of it now! Absolutely amazing. We're still talking about that paella. Another item we can't stop talking about is the tapenade they serve. It was the best thing I've ever put on bread. Period. Every time I took a bite, I had to make a "MMMMM!" sound. We couldn't figure out how they get just the right amount of spice in there, but it's perfect. Just enough for give you little bit of spice without burning your mouth. The spice heats up your mouth for an instant, and then immediately dissipates so you can enjoy the rest of your food. Amazing. We both settled on the beef filets, one made with a red salsa and the other with a black. These pieces of steak were H U G E and delicious. I'm not a big meat eater, so I could only handle about half of one before tapping out, but the meat was so tender and flavorful, it was unreal. This restaurant is just a delight. The service was friendly and beyond amazing, and the food was out of this world. We will definitely make this part of our rotation for our upcoming trips to GTO. Next time we'll arrive on time, though.

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.

Even on a busy…read moreSunday afternoon with no reservation, we were seated within minutes--already a pleasant surprise. We were fortunate enough to get a window table with a perfect view of the iconic Teatro Juárez. What a treat! The moment I tasted their tortilla soup, I was transported back in time. I first tried it twenty-five years ago, and with the very first spoonful, memories flooded back. It is still just as rich, comforting, and absolutely worth trying. Our party of three ordered the Menú del Día for only 300 pesos, which included an entrée, a first and second course, and a choice of coffee or dessert. Oh my goodness--the quality was outstanding. From the careful presentation of every dish, to the exceptional flavor, spotless restrooms, gracious staff, and unbeatable location, Casa Valadez easily earns five stars from me. If you're visiting Guanajuato, this restaurant is a must. Bonus: Their wine selection is surprisingly extensive!
