Best Italian food near Real de Catorce, San Luis Potosi, Mexico
Reviews on Italian food in Real de Catorce, San Luis Potosi, Mexico. Real de Catorce (Spanish [reˈal de kaˈtoɾse] (help·info); meaning: Real [a unit of currency] of Fourteen), often shortened to Real, is a village in the Mexican state of San Luis Potosí and the seat of the municipality of Catorce. It is located 160 miles (260 km) north of the city of San Luis Potosí, and currently has a full-time population of under 1,000 residents. This 'ghost-town' in the high and dry expanses of northern San Luis Potosí state was once a thriving silver mining settlement. Real de Catorce has long been a pilgrimage site for both local Catholics and Huichol shamanists, and is now being discovered by international tourists drawn by the desert ambience and reputed spiritual energy.

I visited this place four times in two days. First for a latte and pastry, second for "cerveza artesenal", third for french toast for breakfast, and fourth for the lasagne. It was all excellent. Good jazz recorded music, and decorated with good-quality art. Haven't tried the baked rabbit or the pizza yet.

We went there for lunch and enjoyed a fantastic pizza. With the highest recommendation from our travelling companions, we went there for dinner and I had the best salad I have ever had. It had marinated cactus flower in the salad and lots of avocado. Try it you won't be disappointed.

when we ordered a torta, they didn't have bolillo, then we got pizza, and when we asked for valentina sauce they didn't have any, the staff there had finished it. We asked for white wine and they brought red wine. The pizza also tasted like cardboard.
