This is a special place, out of the way but worth it. The chili rellenos in a caramel sauce was brilliant! Coconut dessert has me craving coconut days later.

Well I came here with my family for my bothers birthday whle in Guanjuato, and we were all very satisfied. The food was absoultely superb. Its gourmet and authentic mexican food thats still connected with its indegeouns roots. The tequila and wine are just as good as the food. The atmosphere could be very romantic but also works for family... More

Our favourite restaurant in Guanajuato. The food elsewhere can be a bit heavy for our tastes (refried beans etc); Mercedes while authentic to our mind is lighter and fresher

We love this restaurant and have been there a few times. I highly recommend it, and especially love the chicken with pistachio mole and cuitlacoche soup. Such care is taken with the food, and the whole experience is exquisite.
