We read a lot of good reviews about El Abue and were very excited to eat lunch there. Unfortunately, the lunch set menu was not good, the soup had no favor, the milanese (fried breaded chicken) also had no favor. Our dessert was papaya with colorful chocolate sprinkles. I usually take photos of what I enjoy eating overseas ... but...

There are few good restaurants in Guanajuato but El Abue is one of the best. The food is DELICIOUS and they are the only place that has good wine that is not overpriced. We will always come back to this place. It's intimate and the service is excellent!
Cozy restaurant with lots of ambience - dark wood booths, art work & knickknacks on the walls; a few blocks from the University of Guanajuato; written up in both Fodor's and Frommer's and mentioned in the NY Times (not clear how long ago). Caesar salad was rather pedestrian; they did not make it fresh in front of the customer as...

They had a 2 for 1 cocktail offer. Sadly, they have no clue how to prepare cocktails. Live music was great. Food was nothing special and too pricey. Used to be THE place to go..,then it got a new owner.
ABUE is beautiful inside with well thought out decoration, lighting, interior design and atmosphere. The service is excellent, the food is also high quaility, with a large wine list and they sell fresh-baked integral wheat and garlic bread every day. This is a romantic restaurant any time of day, that will certainly please your wife, girlfriend or boyfriend. Very well...

We were a bit turned off when we were presented with a stock menu that made it obvious that this was a chain. But when we got our food we were very pleasantly surprised. All of the ingredients were fresh and dishes were definitely made to order. The price was reasonable and there was a good variety. Recommended!
Restful atmosphere. Medium priced, set meal available. Delicious soup! wine list. Just above the Plaza Baratillo.
Great little place. Not too much seating and the menu does not change, but it does not need to. Best tortilla soup on the planet ( I have spent a lot time in Mexico, grew up in California and now live in Houston and I love soup). I love the chiles en Nogada here and the apple pie is wonderful....

I have to start that the restaurant is not easy to find, my brother and me found it almost on the last day. And I was searching it since the second day. The maps are wrong, the local is where s the "Teatro Juarez", go to the front, at the end, go to the left and you...
