STREET GARDEN
Read moreStreet Garden also means plaza terrace, where you can feast under a fig tree on excellent burgers, burritos and sandwiches. Among the waiter's recommendations, the "Americano" stands out, a fried chicken sandwich with cabbage, onions, lime mayonnaise and chipotle. You also have the option of the BLT, a baguette sandwich with beef, peppers, mushrooms and caramelized onions. You can also arrive in the morning and order a breakfast of chilaquiles, omelette or pancakes.
DELICA MITSU
Read moreThis pretty upstairs room - or its shady terrace - is home to cuisine created by young Japanese nationals with a gift for cooking and sweet, original flavors. On the menu, you can choose from a small "bento" formula at a very reasonable price ($50 to $90), depending on the number of small dishes you choose from the display case; everything is as fresh as can be. Bigger appetites will love the bowls or curry dishes based on chicken, fish, tofu or seafood. Makis and sushis. Absolutely delicious.
PUSCUA
Read moreThis lovely restaurant nimbly navigates the ocean of Guanajuato's ancestral flavors: its name evokes an atole (drink) made from a variety of corn called cacahuacintle . To accompany it, nibble on the homemade rolls and indulge in the fruit salad with yoghurt mousse. If you're really hungry, order the chilaquiles with fried egg or the lamb cecina (cordero). Or go straight for the sweet treats: toast de nata with sliced strawberries.
