La Mariposa — Restaurant in Querétaro

Imagine you walk around Querétaro city in 1940 and you want to find a restaurant to have your favorite meal, coffee and a dessert. Well, in 2021 you can find this in La Mariposa. You can continue receiving the "paper placemat" with the map of Querétaro City (in blue or red, it depends on your lucky day ;). You can order traditional food, I recommend you "Enchiladas Queretanas or Enchiladas rojas (stuffed with chicken or cheese), Tacos Surtidos (Assorted deep fried tacos) to try the variety of beans, potatoes or cheese.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for an authentic, delicious, and heartwarming breakfast or...

Good to note it can also be mistaken for a retirement home hehe.

Good taste hasn't changed, tasty and very simple. Don't expect anything amazing, there aren't chefs here. This is a diner.

You'll see many elderly people eating here so don't expect anything fun.

Service was extremely slow, even the bill took...
