Mexican restaurants in Zacatecas

  1. A

    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.)

  2. B

    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.

    Cantina del Refugio

    This all-out, festive Mexican place has hearty servings of reasonably-priced and tasty Mexican fare, grilled meats and draught beer (with all sorts of drinking deals depending on the day).

    El Pastor

    You come to this no-nonsense, family-run eatery for the food (not the décor). It dishes out charcoal-roasted chicken and Mexican favorites.
