Restaurants in Zacatecas

  1. A

    Acrópolis Café

    This Greek-owned café with slightly overinflated prices is popular with locals and visitors, more for its location than its meals – light snacks and coffees.

  2. B

    San Patrizio Caffé

    Probably does the best – if priciest – cappuccinos in town and has a relaxing courtyard seating, light snacks, and an array of Italian sodas.

  4. D

    Los Dorados de Villa

    You may have to fight to get into this popular revolutionary-themed restaurant: knock at the door – it’s always locked. It’s full of atmosphere and relics and serves up a delicious array of everything – except Pancho Villa himself. Don’t miss the enchiladas valentinas (M$65). Oh and for posterity, a flying visit to the toilet may knock you off your perch! (The toilet alcove is filled with birds − you have to walk through the aviary to get to your cubicle.)

    Restaurant La Plaza

    The elegant dining room at Quinta Real is especially memorable for its outlook to the aqueduct and bullring, as well as for its refined ambience and superb international and Zacatecan cuisine. Charge in for a Sunday brunch (M$200) or an evening cocktail in the bar. Tables are nestled in niches, former bull-holding pens (6pm to 1am). Reservations are advisable.
