A terraced hillside restaurant above Taxco with views over the town's rooftops, serving pipián, squash-blossom soup and other highland Mexican dishes in a colonial-hacienda setting.
La Hacienda del Solar sits on a hillside above Taxco de Alarcón, Guerrero, part of a colonial-style hacienda property with terraced dining areas that look out over the town's terracotta rooftops. The kitchen focuses on traditional highland Mexican cooking, with pipián rojo con pollo, sopa de flor de calabaza (squash-blossom soup), and filete a la mexicana among its signature dishes. The dining room is formal for Taxco, built around stone terraces, wrought-iron details, and candlelight at dinner, with a quiet, unhurried atmosphere suited to a slower evening meal and views that are best appreciated near sunset. The beverage list includes Mexican wine and regional mezcal, chosen to complement the pipián and other sauce-based dishes. Reservations are recommended for dinner, particularly for terrace tables with rooftop views, and are worth arranging a day ahead during Taxco's busier weekends.
