In the Magical Town of Bernal, at the foot of the imposing Peña, there is a corner where history and gastronomy merge to offer an unforgettable experience: El Mesquite Restaurant.
Located in an old seventeenth-century mansion – the historic house of Lieutenant Alonso Cabrera – this restaurant preserves the colonial essence that characterizes the center of Bernal. Its tree-lined terrace, dominated by a majestic mesquite tree over 600 years old, has become the perfect setting to enjoy a meal accompanied by a privileged view of the Peña de Bernal.
Among its most recognized dishes is the Chile Relleno El Mezquite, a recipe that surprises with the freshness of the pomegranate that adorns and enhances its flavor. It is also recommended to try the traditional Nopal en Penca, an authentic preparation that pays homage to local ingredients and the roots of Mexican cuisine.
In addition, El Mezquite is an ideal place to capture memories. Its spaces become perfect settings for photographs with your partner, friends or family. Between walls full of history, terraces overlooking the Peña and magical corners, you will find unique spots to commemorate the most special moments.
Whether for a family meal, a romantic dinner or simply to enjoy an afternoon with friends, El Mezquite offers a perfect space for everyone. Its hospitality, added to the charm of the historic house and the quality of its cuisine, make it a must on your visit to Bernal.
