Truly a fine dining experience. I loved all the appetizers, but there was one with cheese and sausage that was the best thing I ate in Mexico. The music was great and at the right volume to still easily talk.

Momotaro

Reviewed By chazdews - Erongarícuaro, Michoacán, Mexico

I grew up in Tokyo many, many moons ago, and fell in love with Japanese food, but I have found few places since then that serve as wonderful and authentic a fare as Momotaro in Irapuato. Who would have thought it? A great Japanese restaurant in a provincial city like Irapuato! The tempura was perfect and the gyozas melt in your mouth. They also serve great soba. I love this place. If you should ever find yourself in this part of the world and crave Japanese food, give it a try. For a Japanese food fanatic like me, it is well worth the trip. The Japanese owner and his family were all sitting at a table near the door enjoying their own food, which speaks volumes to me.

Cocodrilo's Grill

Reviewed By ebrampro

We really liked the food, the service, and the people. Ate there twice last month and look forward to going again. Good wine selection, good steaks from a cart with many choices, and excellent Mecian food options. Nice covered patio that is a little noisy but worth sitting out for the great climate.

Argentino Steak House

Reviewed By marisu_noble - Mexico City, Mexico

We went a couple of months ago. We order several recommendations, the food was delicious, the waiters were kind and attentive all the time. It's a little expensive but I think it's worth it. I most recommend the white chocolate mousse dessert, it's just perfect!

Con sabor a cafe

Reviewed By Gratia A - Houston

It is always a great pleasure to go to Con Sabor A Cafe. Service and food are great. I split my drink on the table and floor. Waiter was so nice to help me to clean the mess and made not a big deal. Ufh! It made me felt better after that embarrassing situation. Food was tasty. Carrot cake was unbelievable, pretty good. Reasonable price for the great crepas. You won't be disappointed.

Gianni. Pizza, pasta, gelato

Reviewed By Kmai89 - Austin, Texas

Overall, Gianni's is a nice place to relax with friends and enjoy some good Italian food. We started with fried calamari and shrimp. Suprisingly it was served on a bed of lettuce with black olives, onions and tomatoes. That was different. The bread basket was delicious but the spread options were more Mexican then Italian. I had the shrimp and asparagus Alfredo for my main course. The asparagus was perfectly cooked and the fettuccine was amazing. The portion size was what you can expect from any upscale Italian restaurant. However, the pizza was the highlight. The crust, though thin, was perfectly crisp and and the toppings added flavor instead of completely drowning out the savory sauce and creamy cheese. My friends thoroughly enjoyed an Italian wine while I sipped on an Italian sparkling soda albeit the Mexican style. It was refreshing nonetheless. If I ever find myself in this part of the world again, I just try their gelato. It looked simply delicious. My only complaint is that the waiter had to be hunted down more often than not. But, that's Mexican customer service for you.

El Torito Steak

Reviewed By Martijn705 - Queretaro City, Mexico

Went here in the evening after Reading some recommendations on Trip Advisor, called made a reservation and arrived perfectly trough the address mentioned on their Trip advisor profile.
Service is very nice and the restaurant ambient is more simplistic but still very enjoyable. They offer different types cuts and have options for local meat or Silver Sterling imported, which is very nice.
After ordering my cut and ask for a 9/16 they brought it exactly how i wanted it and it tasted amazing.
Nice to mention that the beer is served in steel cups which is a nice detail!

Bixa

#BixasediceBisha - Mexican restaurant with a precise Yucatecan accent.

Reviewed By AndrasSchmidt - Gyor, Hungary

I visited this restaurant in an early Saturday lunchtime, so there were several empty tables. This a real nice place with a garden and different type of tables, everything is elegant and of high quality. The cream soup was also elegant and balanced in flavour, the steak with mushroom sause was fine spiced, it is obvious that the kitchen is highest quality. Delicious espresso at the end. Not cheap, but it is worth the price!
