Maruca Cocina & Sobremesa - 76000 Santiago de Querétaro

Well decorated w good food. Serving time, music and price could improve.

How about these creations? This is by far the best restaurant I’ve walked into in Queretaro. The owner, Jorge, greeted us at the entrance as we were wandering from our hotel nearby deciding where to have a late breakfast. He immediately informed us of their breakfast specialties. The ambience is lovely, minimalist decor, yet clean and cozy. I’ve been traveling around Mexico for a month now and and the dishes we had are top 10 for me! I’ll try my best to explain, but just imagine a dippable omelette in a rich, creamy sauce and a chile stuffed with scrambled eggs and some other ingredients. It was delicious! The two servers working were very attentive and when it got busier, Jorge was quick to jump in to help out. In my opinion, this restaurant would be a Michelin star in Chicago.

Had heard good things about Maruca, so on my last visit to Queretaro I made a point of visiting this restaurant. Its location in the downtown area made it easy to find, plus the walk there was awesome in this historic city. Upon entering the restaurant we were greeted by Jorge, owner, and he kindly directed us to our table in a cozy, open patio where a nice breeze made our stay very comfortable. The lunch/dinner menu was quite interesting, with Mexican fusion dishes, traditional and modern tastes, varied textures in delectable combinations. Started off with Croquetas de Camarón (crisp, the shrimp filling awesome!) and Jalapeños Crujientes (spicy and flavourful). Followed that with Sopa de Haba con Nopal (faba bean soup with cactus leaf, delicious!). As our main, Tacos de Lengua y Consomé (tongue tacos, soft and tender!), Camarones Flameados con Ravioles Rellenos de Huitlacoche (huitlacoche, a mexican delicacy: corn fungi), Pulpo Adobado (grilled octopus in guajillo sauce), and Fusilli al Pesto con Camarones (pesto was done just right and pasta cooked perfect, al dente). Dessert was equally original, Churros con Helado de Café de Olla, house-made churros with a chocolate sauce and a refreshing coffee ice cream on the side. Had to try their Pastel de Elote (cornbread with a soft caramel topping). Every dish presented very elegantly; portions, generous. Service attentive and always smiling. Prices, quite reasonable. A must on your next visit to Queretaro!

This is a Beautiful restaurant with friendly staff. This is my first visit and the food was very good. Definitely worth a visit and I will visit again.

Delicious breakfast, beautiful setting. I had the enchiladas natal and my father had the enchiladas enfrijoladas... both amazing.

Great food, their own flare to regional dishes, good ambiance so so customer service maybe more staff, great discovery to my list of nice restaurants in this city

This is a wonderful quiet restaurant in a quiet courtyard. The food is exquisitely prepared with care and plated like the fanciest of restaurants. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The food is delicious and a great value.

We came as a group so got to try everything off the breakfast menu. It was delicious! Every single thing we had was good. The do a breakfast offer with juice and coffee that is really worth it! I payed 155 peso for mine. It does get quit busy during the weekend so best to make a reservation.
