Eating In Guanajuato:
- Our favorite taco bar is El Trompo (The Top) on the back side of the Jardin de Union and we loved the torta we shared at Mi Lugar (My Place) on Calle Pocitos.
- Ensaladas Linea Verde on Calle del Truco (Trick Street…) is a very good place for a Big Salad.
- For an adventurous night out with a good wine list, make a meal of the tapas at La Taula which is past Bagel Cafetin (which is also good but best for coffee) next to Templo San Francisco on Callejón Potrero.
- Near the end of our stay we ate at La Abue off of Plaza Baratillo - and enjoyed the meal, though the restaurant was really empty. We hope it will be there when we get back. We also went to two "big evening out" places: el Midi Bistro (Mediterranean) in the Casa Quatro complex off of Plaza Baratillo and Mestizo at Positos #69. Both very, very good - but expensive enough that we're glad we didn't find them at the beginning of our stay!
- The best pizza we found (sort of a “most improved” category – the pizza in Guanajuato was mostly disappointing) is at La Capellina on Sopeña.
- For Mexican comfort food, la Bohemia in the Jardin de La Union offers tasty but unadventurous food, prepared with care, and a full three-course lunch (una corrida) costs about $6.
- We are well-known afternoon habitués at Café Atria near Plaza de Baratillo - good coffees, local newspapers and wifi. The same - minus the newspapers -- at Bagel Cafetin at Callejón Potrero
- And for a yummy vegetarian meal (falafel) - Habibi at the end of Campanero.
Most Cabo San Lucas restaurants are not very memorable. For an evening of very good Mexican food, walk a few blocks into the town (yes, there is a little bit of "real" Cabo San Lucas) and away from the Marina to visit Tres Gallos or Marina Corona. Tres Gallos has more interesting food and is charing and intimite (though -- warning -- they don't take credit cards and that's not entirely clear until the meal is over!), but Marina Corona is worth a visit if you sit back from the music (which is quite good). Either of these restaurants would be a great place to introduce someone to "real" Mexican food.
