Tlacoyos, gorditas and sopes food stall
There are black colored gorditas and there is a big variety of what you want on your sopes or gorditas for M$15. The tlacoyos for M$10 are wonderfully soft. You can also buy the black gorditas and sopes without anything on it for take-away and then preparing it in your accommodation by yourself. The food stall has a red color.

Café Tal
Coffee, tea, a mixed foreign and Mexican crowd, and high speed wireless internet access. It's between 5-10 minutes from Teatro Juarez up the main street towards the baseball stadium, just up the street from Bar Fly. The owner, an American expat, plays French horn in the city orchestra. Although it serves some distinctly Mexican drinks and snacks, it also has a much wider selection of tea and coffee drinks familiar to Americans and difficult to find in Guanajuato. (Tea is pretty unsatisfactory in the city, not so here. And they understand the concept of iced tea.) They also have low cost international calling and tasty snacks. Before lunch, a bakery a few doors down has a wider selection of pastries and rolls.
