"Chef Hugo Guajardo showcases Noreste Mexican cuisine here, with local ingredients bolstering traditional recipes cooked over a live fire. Tortillas are made in-house, so take a seat and have some freshly made tostadas and salsa brought to your table as you peruse the seasonally minded menu. Tacos filled with adobo-marinated and fire-roasted pork belly are a sure thing, especially when accompanied by the spicy red salsa and a kicky piquin chile. Carne zaraza is a dry-brined skirt steak that is enlivened with charred onion atop fresh corn tortillas. The accompanying watercress and cilantro salad is as refreshing as the steak is juicy. End the meal with a pastry, like their tarta de nuez, that's served warm with a scoop of piñón ice cream on top." - Michelin Inspector

An unforgettable dining experience. The lamb was absolutely delicious — tender, flavorful, and beautifully cooked. Every dish was creative and full of soul, from the puffed tortilla with roasted onion broth to the fresh fish and the unique dessert. Amazing local wine (Bodega Los Cedros) and excellent service. A must-visit in San Miguel de Allende!

I think it’s a unique experience, definitely some plates and drinks you won’t find in other comparable restaurants in MTY. The food is very good. The asado de boda: amazing imo. Been a couple of times and my only comment is that it can be hard to get a hold of the waiter. But besides that, try it.

Michelin rated restaurant. Delicious meals and service was top notch. If you do not speak spanish review menu in english. Impressed with their service. Truly an experience. We sat right by their kitchen and got to see the chef and his staff work their magic.

While staying in Monterrey for the Pal Norte music festival, my two friends and I randomly chose to eat at Vernáculo. The lamb dish I ordered was tender and tasty. One of us ordered the black pork, which we all tried and agreed it melted in our mouths. The third dish was fish, and my friend enjoyed it very much. The appetizer of tortillas was so flavorful! The waitstaff was very kind and helped us because our Spanish is not very good. We sat outside, and the atmosphere was so charming! There were outdoor air conditioners, which would be great in the heat of the day.

Fenómemo. This place has everything to be a 5 plus star.....amazing and unique beautiful kitchen area. The staff was incredible and attentive. They have some unique mixed drinks that were tasty. The food was such an incredible experience. The flavours are so unique ... they pull from the noreste cuisine with local ingredients and then add a unique touch. We went with a small group and couldn't stop ordering. The lamb empanadas had a nice arabic touch to pay homage to some of NL heritage and good. The arroz de boda was the only time I loved arroz de boda... It was accompanied by a nice cortadillo. The rib eye we had was cooked just as should be. The handmade tortilla were so tasty and full of flavour that we couldn't help but eat them as if they were a meal on its own. The flor de palma tostado with a pepita sauce was so refreshing. The star of the show was the lamb ribs.....WOW...Full out flavour and the sauce it had was perfectly matched. This is upto date one of the best food experiences I've had , and probably the best I've had up to date in Monterrey

One of the very best meals I have had while in Monterrey. Regional food, excellent presentation, spot-on flavors, all done with excellent service, Charming ambiance and great attention to all of the details. We had beef, lamb, pork, calabeza with arugula, melted cheese, savory rice with sweet raisins, and a few other things. Cocktails were fantastic too!

I am still craving it!! Definitely 5 stars. This place offers a great variety of regional dishes. The steaks are top notch and each of the staff members are always making you feel welcome. We seated close to where the kitchen is and it is hypnotizing to watch how they work over there. We ordered a guacamole with Rib Eye chicharron and a fideo to start. They come with tortillas. Very filling by the way the starters. Then we ordered Aguja Norteña as the main dish. Perfectly cooked and seasoned. Hopefully I can visit again in the near future to keep trying more amazing dishes.

A 5 out of 5. This restaurant offers great variety of regional dishes, cooked with fresh and good quality ingredients, delivered in a nice, but welcoming atmosphere. We tried a good range of dishes, the fideo is a no miss, as well as the aguacate machacado as starters. Tacos the papada were new to me, but equally a very pleasant and rich flavour. Good selection of national wines and cocktails. We were visiting from England and wanted to give a good impression of the regional food, this place delivers easily. Highly recommended.
