Hacienda San Bartolo - 91240 Xico

Un lugar muy bello, privado, lleno de rincones para descansar, un menú delicioso, recomiendo el Té de cereza y los cortes de carne, para cerrar un delicioso torito goumert, a dicho de la dueña y a experiencia propia "los Mejores de la región", super recomendable!!

Buen lugar para comer. Actualmente desarticulado con varios dueños. El museo y la hacienda es de un dueño. Hay otra área donde preparan pizza y otra con el hotel y el restaurante. Encuentras música en vivo. Excelentes paisajes y un camino a la cascada, índispensable acudir con guía.

Bonito a la vista y nada más. Fuimos al restaurante, un domingo, día en que el pueblo está lleno de turismo local. El restaurante estaba casi vacío y nos asignaron mesa rápido, nos entregaron la carta. De entrada los precios me parecieron al elevados pero es común en el pueblo. Yo pedí un xonequi que es platillo típico y unos tacos de guisados, a lo cual me dijeron que se habían acabado. Entonces pedí un par de tamales al comal. Nos ofrecieron amablemente pasar al comal a comer tortillas recién hechas con algún tipo de salsa y en lo que estábamos ahí, llegaron a decirnos que no había tamales, por lo que me molesté ya que era el segundo platillo que no tenían, a pesar de que su carta es muy limitada, por lo que pedí unas picadas. En cuanto al xonequi no es el platillo típico, las bolitas de masa estaban crudas por lo que no me las comí y al fondo del plato traía una especie de pollo guisado que tenía buen sabor pero definitivamente eso no era xonequi. Llegó un grupo de 15 personas aproximadamente y el mesero se olvidó de nosotros hasta el grado de decir "ay si necesitan algo me hablan". A pesar de que le hablamos nos olvidó y tuve que ir dos veces al comal para pedir tortillas y hasta la señora del comal se apenó por ello. En fin, mala experiencia que me hará no volver.

Love it!

Rustic home away from home with friendly staff that seek to meet your every need to make one's stay enjoyable.

Gorgeous views! The snowcapped volcano in the distance was a particularly lovely surprise after arriving on an overcast day. This hotel is kept very clean, bathrooms comfortable and well stocked, and there is a restaurant and incredibly friendly staff. Note that they're not open on Mondays. Good WiFi and decent cell reception up here as well. The field out back has cows, a horse, herrons and more to observe as you relax in one of the most tranquil places you'll find. The nearby town of Xico is a Pueblo Magico, too, and well worth exploring!

A nice view and fine service

When we arrived before their closing time, we were informed they stopped service. No worries. On our way out, we asked some questions about the property and then a manager insisted we eat and they're happy to accommodate us. Once we ordered, the server returned two times to announce they didn't have guacamole, and another to announce that one of the items we've ordered cannot be made (a fish entry.) Then the server broke the news to us that they only offered 2 things on the menu, molcajete and mole. We ordered both, their beer selection was limited as well as their liquors (one kind of mezcal that didn't taste good.) The mole came out immediately... the chicken breast was dry, the mole wasn't enough, and the food wasn't that hot. The moljacetes came out next and were okay. After we finished, we tried to pay with a Visa credit card from a popular bank in the United States. The server informed us that they do not accept international credit cards. What???? A group which consisted of three people speaking English and broken Spanish among eachother, obviously not resembling nationals, but never warned beforehand that their credit cards aren't accepted? At a hotel restaurant?? It was a difficult situation as they didn't offer an ATM either. My friend returned to the car to grab cash and pay for the overpriced tab. Their service and methods are questionable, offering a handful of the items from the menu, not warning us or showing a policy that excluded credit cards, and not providing an alternative way to pay. Their food was lackluster, obviously the mole dish wasn't prepared on the spot, the plate felt hot but the food was cold - it was probably microwaved. The prices were significantly higher than other restaurants in Xico. If you find yourself on the road returning from enjoying the cascada, avoid this restaurant, you'll find much better options in the town with honest services and lower prices.
