A speciality is their famous barbacoa, so much so that there’s an interesting sign on the outskirts of the establishment that announces: “Here there’s José Arroyo’s barbacoa.

Barbacoa, escamoles, carnitas, huazontles, machitos, consomé among are the many delicacies andare some dishes which form part of the gastronomic legacy of Chucho Arroyo, son of the founders who, grew up to earn and succeed to the leadership of this iconic restaurant.

Today it is assuredly one of the emblematic most prestigious places of Mexican gastronomy, but also the complex contains the Plaza de Toros Arroyo, in honor of the Guanajuato matador Antonio Velázquez. Mario Moreno “Cantinflas”, was in charge of inaugurating the Plaza.
