El Tapatío

El Tapatío Review

One of the best-kept secrets in Guanajuato is this hole-in-the-wall across from the university whose bargain comida corrida at lunchtime—four courses for 50 pesos—is equally popular with students, faculty, and local workers. It starts with delicious fresh-baked bread, then continues with a starter such as crema de verduras (vegetable soup) with green chili, or a chipotle-spiked chicken soup. Tacos and an antojito (appetizer) then a meat will follow, plus dessert. The space is cute, with brick archways, knickknacks, and waiters dressed in black and white who are more friendly than attentive.
