La Mariposa
One of our favorite places to eat in downtown Queretaro is called La Mariposa.
It has been open since the 1940s. It serves traditional Mexican food and sweets
in a very laid back diner type atmosphere. The boys love eating there.
I made that drawing while waiting for our food, inspired by the vintage wallpaper :)

I really LOVE everything about butterflies!! And I like the spanish name 'mariposa'. If I make a drawing myself, it's all about mariposa's too. Or if I ever start a shop I want to integrate 'mariposa' in the name and my work. Your post came at the right time for me and made me smile.
that looks like a lovely place to eat. i like how they keep the old charm!
Qué bonito lugar!! tiene mucho encanto y lo que más me ha gustado es lo de "DAmas"... le dá categoría a tener que pasar al servicio!! y con esa letra tan bonita... Entiendo que les guste ir... y la baldosa hidraulica es preciosa!! Debería haber más lugares con ese encanto retro!
Que lugar divino!!
Me gustaria ir...todo es adorable.

mmm, yummy, that looks like such an inspiring place to eat! and draw! And to be in business for that long is quite an accomplishment! Wonderful post :)
very nice! I doodle wherever I am too!
Que maravilla!
Beautiful!
Fabulous.......can it be an embroidery pattern?
That looks gorgeous - both your drawing and the décor at this café.
I wish you'd write on how you sketch and draw (and paint!) - I'd read/buy it! :)
Parece un lugar muy acojedor y perfecto para cenar.
Yo suelo dibujar mientras espero pero si los manteles son de papel, sobre ellos, y allá se quedan. No tan bonitos como los tuyos, evidentemente.
I really love your blog - you have such creative and unique work - simple yet beautiful - can you please tell me what camera you use - your photo skills are incredible - and if you don't mind stop by my blog and follow if you want to TFS
very nice! I like the vintage wallpaper and the pattern in the tiles. It looks like a lovely place to eat and draw. And of course your drawing is lovely too, as always!
oh my, how beautiful ! I love that retro, old fashion atmosphere ... I would have loved to be there with you, and at your table, see you draw that amazing drawing.

...love your drawing! What a fun inspiration time 8)
Me encanta el sitio. El papel de la pared y los azulejos del suelo, preciosos!
Love your drawings . My mom does pen and ink and she really loves your work too. She's in her eighties and she brings over a few sketches a week for me to post on her etsy site. If you like you can see her work at "jodidoodles" . Just between you and me she would be thrilled if you left a comment. Thanks
So nice!
Mi Mama me llevaba a este lugar a tomar limonadas por ahi de los 70's. Es fantastico que todavia siga ahi y que mamas todavia lleven a sus hijos. Mil gracias por compartir tus fotos y notas.
Efectivamente "La Mariposa" es un lugar que debes visitar en Querétaro, mañana 25 de Julio es aniversario de la Fundación de la Ciudad, imagina como estará el lugar de frecuentado. Saludos desde Puebla, México.
