We ordered guacamole with plantains and grasshoppers as a starter; it was good, just lacking a bit of salt. The guava mole with pork chop was delicious and highly recommended. The rabbit salpicon was good. They gave us a chocolate dessert. The only thing is that the drinks were very bland. I highly recommend this place.

I went in February 2025 and what an excellent discovery, the place is an adapted house with a very nice decoration and all the furniture and china in excellent condition, the parking is on the street but everything is quiet. The menu has many options, I found the French bread delicious as well as the guava mole. When I arrived there was little wait but it was already a little late so it wasn't rush hour. All the staff there were always very friendly and fast. I think the prices are good for the quality and quantity you receive. I do recommend it and I hope to return soon.

Fabulous!! We weren't sure what this cute little place was going to be, but the front appealed to our eyes. As soon as we entered we knew it was going to be pleasant. Great atmosphere . Great smoothies, full of flavor and lactose-free options. I can not handle dairy. The pizza was wonderful (had dairy pills) and the pasta with shrimp was full of flavor. The staff was friendly and helpful. Bathrooms upstairs were clean

I passed this restaurant dozens of times and stopped today on a whim. I was surprised with the highest level of food, service and atmosphere. The food is creative and expertly prepared at a very reasonable price. Queretaro is not known for an abundance of great restaurants but this surely is one.

Clean, open and airy. Big ground level patio and an upstairs one too. Nice folks, attentive service and attention to detail. Creative menu deliciously prepared with superior presentation, but even traditionalists will find something they like here. The music when we were there was great too - very happy and surprised to be listening to Etta James, Bill Withers, and other great R&B. Not so loud you couldn’t hear each other either. It was our first visit, but we’ll return

Excellent food and great service by Sofia. My wife and I loved talking to Sofia about various different topics (culture, language, Queretaro sights etc...).

Loved this place, as I was visiting Queretaro, really close to los Arcos and food was delicious, atmosphere and staff are very welcoming. Their Salmon Toast was my favorite paired with a good cup of Gourmet Coffee.

We've been dining in Queretaro since 2004. Quetzal Rosa may be our favorite. Certainly in the top 10! Great food, great service, friendly vibe, and the background music is just that - background music.
