La Casona de los Cinco Patios
It’s hard to go past trying one of the diverse eating and drinking options at La Casona de los Cinco Patios, all of which are under the auspice of a mansion with five patios. Locals rave about San Miguelito for its food, old-fashioned service, ambience and decor: each table has different chairs and is decorated with themed, hand-painted wooden platters. Popular dishes include filete de res en salsa de mezquite (beef fillet with mesquite plant sauce). La Antojeria is at the entrance to Cinco Patios and at the other end of the pricing scale. It’s a family-friendly, fun and Mexican-themed place serving up every style of antojito known in Mexico.

Neblinas Ecotienda & Café
This extraordinary shop, café, gallery and cultural center supports communities in the Sierra Gorda. Everything here has an ecofriendly and sustainable message: the café serves delicious snacks (don’t miss the hamburgers with the handmade endangered animal–shaped rolls or the penca de nopal, cactus plate), the neat restaurant-gallery’s decor resembles a semi-desert environment and the shop sells organic produce. Cultural performances include live jazz and dance.

Mercado de la Cruz
The central plazas and surrounding pedestrian streets, particularly around Plaza de Armas, are lined with restaurants catering to all tastes and budgets. They have outdoor tables and a vibrant evening atmosphere with live music (sometimes clashing with each other). After 17:00, the cheapest and most genuine eating experiences can be found at the Mercado de la Cruz.

Biznarga
Their friends liked their cooking so much they opened their kitchen to the public. And why not? A not-to-be-missed, slightly rasta experience with graffiti, artworks and memorabilia. The creativity extends to the dishes – excellent salads, homemade pizzas, juices and more. One of the country’s best-value eateries.

Risi & Bisi
For your touch of Italian – and a good alternative if you need a night off the chiles rellenos (stuffed chilies) – head to this relaxed trattoria for a selection of pasta, pizza and salad dishes. Service isn’t its strong point.

La Mariposa
Unchanged since 1940 (as the photos will testify), this Querétaro institution is more about the quaint atmosphere than the food. Don’t leave without trying the mouthwatering mantecado (vanilla ice cream; M$30).
