We were rather disappointed with our choice of this restaurant for a birthday dinner for my special lady, especially considering the great reviews we read. First off, I made reservations a week in advance and the general director, Jesus Cardenas assured me he would reserve his best table and "personally attend to us". When we arrived the hostess couldn't find... More

I've lived in Guanajuato for many years now. I've eaten in dozens and dozens of restaurants throughout this continent. Las Mercedes is easily in the top 10 all-time restaurant experiences ever. Sure, it's a little more expensive than your average GTO fare. But I've received nothing but top-notch service, spectacular food, and amazing drink combinations. I highly recommend this restaurant...

I was spolit last week eating in some amazing restaurants ( not in this area) and was hoping this would be the same standard or better. The restaurant... More

This place is much more expensive than any other restaurant in town, but food is really great, place is posh, service is good and atmosphere great. Also view over Guanajuato is really pleasant. It's small restaurant far away... More

Ths restaurant is a special place for sure. With only 6 tables it is very romantic and exclusive. The service is great. Christina. Was a wonderful server. Very attentive and helpful. We had the pork shank. It was so tender it just fell off the bone. They make fabulous margaritas from a cactus flower, that is a must. When calling... More

Our experiences here have been so good I do not have the ability to describe it adequately. Wonder food, great wine list, great service and a lovely place high above the city. Tops for a romantic dinner or a special occasion. Expensive but worth it.

Las Mercedes is an intimate restaurant with a very high level of attention to quality. If you'd like to dine there, you really need to make a reservation--there are only about a dozen tables inside. Tucked away in the San Javier neighborhood, the place is beautifully decorated and has a homey feel to it. The service was excellent, but what... More

The food is absolutly fantastic, (ask for a window specially if you take you sweat heart,) . This is the place to invite foreigners and have them try Mexican food, I bet they... More

Only 7 tables in this place and only 3 of them have the terrific view the restaurant offers. I suggest a reservation if you want one of the tables by a window. The food was really good and on a par with the best of the many good restaurants in this area. Great place for a romantic dinner. Very cozy... More
