GARABATOS
Garabatos presence extends along Mexico City and surroundings , Toluca , Queretaro and Pachuca through 13 restaurants and 28 boutique bakeries

Garabatos is one of Mexico ’ s most successful food businesses . The casual dining restaurant chain — which has grown from the brand ’ s original success as a boutique bakery chain — is successfully positioned among Mexico City ’ s consumers , in addition to its other locations in Toluca , Queretaro and Pachuca .

Though the brand and its logo immediately evoke their fine pastry products , the restaurant operations began in 1987 , only two years after the bakery shops .
Garabatos ’ success is no secret ; before growing its presence , it was a small familyoperated business . The brand ’ s outstanding reputation and success is based on customer service and dedication to creating unique flavors and presentations for each dish , using top quality ingredients from Mexico and elsewhere .
Creations such as cakes with unusual ingredients ( such as pieces of Mexican traditional pastries ), classic baklava and Garabatos cheesecake , as well as healthy items on the Garabatos menu , would not exist without clientele demand . The house adds its own twist to traditional Mexican items such as pan de muerto (“ bread of the dead ,” customary for the weeks before the “ Day of the Dead ”), filled with sweet cream .
“ These creations and our unique flavor distinguish us . We are constantly innovating to meet a commitment to our customers ,” explained
