Santo Café

Guanajuato


Stop by this casual but cozy spot on the quaint Venetian-style bridge that's popular with students. It serves good salads and snacks; try the queso fundido (melted cheese) or the soy burger, both great for vegetarians. Some tables are perched on the bridge overlooking the alley below.
