Real del Monte

Reviewed By Ted M - Vancouver, Canada

Decided on this restaurant after checking it and El Serrinallo. Tough time choosing but decided on Real del Monte as we thought the interior had more character appeal. It also helped our decision enjoying the lady frying tortillas at the entrance.
Arrived at 6:15 PM, not busy, chose our own table, service started out rapid and attentive but slowed as the meal progressed. Ordered a 375 mil bottle of Spanish Crianza and was quoted $170 Pesos. Charged $210 when the bill arrived. Started with the tortilla soup and it was tasty, a bit salty plus the chicken consommé, also good with lots of chicken. Mains were the Chicken Supreme, a chicken breast flattened then filled with cheese and ham (bland flavour) and the Trucha al Maguey (small fish cooked in tinfoil with huitlacoche and spices) which was passable.
The restaurant has an interesting old Mexican feel but misses the mark on service and food. Washrooms not checked, credit cards accepted.

Pastes el Portal

Reviewed By Ted M - Vancouver, Canada

There are many places to buy pastes in Real del Monte. el Portal has added interest for its location.
The is a large kitchen and includes a restaurant located in the historic portal building across from the main Centro church (Inglesia del Rosario). Fascinating to watch half a dozen employees prepping pastes stuffed with various ingredients ready for baking in the paste oven. They have branched out from the basic original meat based pastes (as have most paste bakers to include empanadas filled with fruit.
When in Real del Monte - give a paste a try.

Recommended!
We went for lunch because this restaurant was recomended by a friend. For me is the best restaurant in real del monte. Ask for the tlacoyos mineros or the enchiladas mineras.
Sopa de haba is very good!
And if you are a dairy person, for breakfast ask for a concha con nata. Delicious!!!
Deserts are not very good but you eat there and then go for a delicious sweet paste in plateros or tejeda or los portales or any other. All local pastes are delicious.
Also you con find a good ice cream in santa clara.
Don't miss it!

Restaurant with 6 decades of experience serving traditional mexican and local food.The very first restaurant in Real del Monte; original recipes and personal attention of her owner, founder and director Doña Avelina López.Creators of famous local dishes such as Enchiladas mineras, Pulque bread and others.

Reviewed By RodrigoAJimenez - Mexico City, Mexico

Este lugar es ideal para desayunar si se va al corredor turístico de la montaña, súper cerca de Pachuca antes de llegar a Real del Monte, algo que no se pueden perder es el pan de pulque, es riquísimo y acompañado con un poco de nata es una excelente opción, también les recomiendo todas sus enchiladas y chilaquiles, ahí tienen un excelente sazón.
Los fines de semana súper bien ambientado, cuando fuimos había un violinista que tocó canciones románticas ya que fuimos el 14 de febrero.
Definitivamente es una joya de Hidalgo, no se lo pueden perder!!

La Escondida

Reviewed By profegringo - northern california

This restaurant is right downtown. It has a diverse menu, with typical items and variations. Our group tried some excellent soups. There were all kinds of enchiladas, including some oddball combinations such as enchiladas motuleñas, a variation on a Yucatecan egg dish made with ham and peas. Actually this looked quite good but I passed it up for enchiladas in a Chile mora sauce. Chile mora is a very spicy dried Chile, but very tasty, and this (very spicy) sauce was exquisite. Someone at the table ordered a tlacoyo which was oddly served in a bowl, but was an ample portion in a nice green sauce. Especially good was a trout al ajillo (with dried chiles and roasted garlic) that a friend ordered. Even the accompanying rice was delicious. We were in a hurry to get back to Pachuca, and our server was responsive and quick. Prices were a bargain, especially given the level of care paid to the recipes and the food preparation.
I think that there are plenty of ordinary tourist traps in this town. This is not one of them. I suggest giving them a try.

Reviewed By IndaloMan89 - Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom

We stopped at El Minero for a brunch on a Saturday, there are some great views from the restaurant which is always a bonus. We ordered the Miners breakfast which was a huge plate of food of predominantly Mexican influence. The food was good albeit not great for the price. There is also a buffet which may have been a better option.
