The location of this restaurant is incredible. Originally an old, OLD home in Taxco the family has remodeled and decorated the restaurant to welcome and give great service. There are a few balcony seats that can view the zocolo, but the interior of this restaurant is gorgeous. The drinks are great, the soups and main dishes are delicious
I think they have the absolute best guacamole in town. Also, if you just want a terrific refreshin non-alcoholic drink, ask for lime juice, water, and the sweetner of your choice. You get to make it as strong and special as you wish.
Favorite Dish: This restaurant understands how to adjust to your needs and desires. Just ask and they will do anything! We couldn't believe that they could leave out onions because one of us is allergic to them.

This restaurant is on the Av de los Plateros, the main road which runs into and through Taxco - the restaurant is situated towards the northern end. It is a smart and clean little restaurant, which obviously caters for the locals - nothing touristy here. The decor is complemented by many photographs of Taxco in the Old Days - around the 1920s.
We arrived for a late lunch, and our host, who was friendly and attentive, ushered us to the one outside table - on a tiny balcony overlooking a large expanse of Taxco.
Our meals were delicious and very reasonably priced - around the $5-$6 mark, and a bottle of Corona was $1.50!! It doesn't get better than that!
Definitely worth a visit for those who like to eat as the locals do.
Favorite Dish: Unfortunately I can no longer remember the specific dishes that we had, except that they were delicious- flavourful and the serving sizes just right. Sadly we only discovered the restaurant at the end of our stay in Taxco, otherwise we would have made this a regular stop.

The most remarkable thing about this restaurant is it's location. In the Zocalo of Taxco, right in front of Santa Prisca Church, it's the best place to eat, especially when there's some festivals or celebration like Holly Week, Feria de la Plata or Jornadas Alarconianas. You can just sit on it's balcony and watch everything while you have a drink and a nice meal.
