A cafe with tiled tables and wrought-iron chairs facing Plaza Borda, serving breakfast staples and coffee within view of the Santa Prisca church.
Restaurante La Parroquia sits directly on Plaza Borda in the heart of Taxco de Alarcón, Guerrero, with tiled tables and wrought-iron chairs set within view of the Santa Prisca church that anchors the square. The menu is centered on Mexican breakfast staples, including chilaquiles, molletes, and café de olla, making it more of a morning and midday spot than a dinner destination. The dining room is casual and open to the plaza, with a steady flow of foot traffic, church bells, and the general bustle of Taxco's central square giving it a lively but unhurried mood. There is no wine or cocktail program; coffee, particularly café de olla brewed with cinnamon and piloncillo, is the drink of note. Reservations are not used, and the long daily hours from 8AM to 9PM make it an easy stop for breakfast or a coffee break while touring the plaza and the church.
