Fodor's Expert Review Restaurante Casa Hidalgo

The marvelous view of the Palacio de Cortés helped make this restaurant a big hit among the foreigners in town. The menu mixes Mexican and international foods; you might try the filetón hidalgo (breaded veal stuffed with Serrano ham and manchego cheese) or the tacos con nopales (tacos stuffed with grilled cactus). A jazz band plays on Saturday night.

Reservations are recommended on weekends—request a table on the small balcony for a great view of the Palacio just across the street.
