A
Acerto
This strikingly modern, sleek (and rather orange) conversion of a long-standing local favorite now functions as a restaurant, cocktail bar and internet café. The main attraction is the fantastic view across the Plaza Borda to Santa Prisca, although its delicious menu of salads, soups, antojitos and moles and its superior cocktail making are also good reasons to drop by.

Pozolería Tia Calla
There are no fine vistas or breezy terrazas (terraces) here – just authentic, no-nonsense pozole, served up in Auntie Calla’s basement. Pick your poison: chicken or pork. Pork comes loaded with chicharrón (fried pork skin), avocado and all the fixings. No matter your meat choice, the broth is always pork-based. The beer steins are chilled, and there’s fútbol on the tele. What more could you ask for?

La Hacienda de Taxco
It offers an extensive menu of traditional Mexican dishes, including house-made jam in the morning and a 20-ingredient, house-made mole in the afternoon. La Hacienda also offers considerate touches, like the option of egg-white-only breakfasts and child-sized portions. Due to its popularity with locals, who linger over long, social lunches, there’s a cover midday (check the menu).

La Caletilla
High in the mountains and far from the sea, Taxco’s perhaps the last place you’d expect to find a great marisquería. But La Caletilla’s small, fish-only menu is loved by locals who flock to its large tiled terrace for heaping portions of delicate ceviche, three kinds of seafood soup and well-prepared platters of shrimp and fish.

Café Sasha
Taxco’s boho and traveler hangout has an excellent selection of vegetarian dishes (including many with Thai and Indian influences), low lighting, tiny balcony tables and a good collection of antique Lonely Planet guides. Owing to a house brand of mezcal (agave liquor) and frequent live-music shows, Sasha can get lively in the evenings.

Sotavento
Next door to the Palacio Municipal, Sotavento serves everything from breakfasts to cocktails, enchiladas de mole to prime rib. You can sit on its wide, street-side terrace for people-watching or in a peaceful interior garden for a more intimate meal. This restaurant-bar also has a good in-house art gallery and fine wine list.

La Casona
Cheaper than its neighbor Del Ángel, La Casona is also less touristy, more relaxed and more traditional in its menu choices. There are equally superb views from the tables at the back, although our favorite table is the one you share with the cigar-smoking skeleton! The excellent menu del día is a winner for M$80.

Restaurant Santa Fe
In business for more than 50 years, Santa Fe is a favorite with locals, serving fairly priced traditional Mexican fare such as conejo en chile ajo (rabbit in garlic chili) and fresh shrimp. The walls are bedecked with photos of local patrons and some excellent black-and-white photos of ye olde Taxco.

Del Ángel Inn
Think tour groups and mariachi bands here, at one of Taxco’s most enduringly popular restaurants. Despite this, the superb views over the town from the 2nd floor roof terrace are hard to beat, and food quality is good, with a range of Mexican and international cuisine on offer.

Hostería Bar el Adobe
This place doesn’t have captivating views, but the interior is cozy and elegant with a good selection of wine and cocktails and live music on weekend evenings. Specialties include Taxco-style cecina (salted strip steak) and shrimp-spiked garlic soup.

La Concha Nostra
On the 2nd floor of the Casa Grande, this popular pizza-and-pasta restaurant serves food and drink until 1am. You can watch the action on Plazuela San Juan from the balcony. Live music shakes the house on weekend evenings.

Borda’s Café
This tiny café has perhaps the single best view of Santa Prisca going, especially if you’re lucky enough to get the one balcony table. Good breakfasts, strong coffee, sandwiches and Mexican antojitos are served.

La Hamburguesa
For a quick, affordable meal, try this popular diner on the west side of Plazuela San Juan. It serves three styles of set breakfasts in the morning and burger-and-fries combos at lunch and dinner.

Del Convento
For one of the best views in town, the restaurant of the Posada San Javier is hard to beat, with its vast roof terrace setting. Come by for the elaborate breakfasts, evening meal or cocktail.
