“ The restaurant is just off the town square. The food is made with great care and is delicious and comforting. Their vegetable soup on a rainy day is magical. I love their quesadillas because they cook them on both sides, and this brings out so many wonderful flavors in the cheese. The beans are also the best I have ever had. The staff and very friendly and professional. ”
“ DELICIOUS CHICKEN SOUP. perfect for an upset over-travelled tummy. Also delicious tacos. ”
“ These have to be some of the best tacos I’ve tried in Mexico. I’ve been all over the country, Puebla, Jalisco, Zacatecas, Tijuana, Oaxaca and now Chiapas. I didn’t come here expecting to try such great tacos but I was pleasantly impressed last night. I wanted to try a bit of everything so I had the revolcados and the house special. They come in orders of 3 which I think is a fair amount. I particularly enjoyed the salsas that they have to eat the tacos with. They were just the right kind of spicy. After this I ordered a quesadilla with bistec and another with Al pastor. They were both really good and also decently sized. The cheese they used on these also stood out to me. I don’t know what kind it was but it was delicious! I was still a bit hungry after all this so I ordered a medium sized quesadilla with Al pastor. The waiter explained to me that it was slightly bigger than the other two I had ordered previously but that thing was massive lol. I ate half of it then took the rest to go. The servers here were very helpful too. When I asked what they recommend, they gave me several different suggestions. They were also quick to bring the food out and respectful to me and everyone. What I liked about eating here as well was the big TVs they had up for watching futbol. It’s always entertaining to have something to watch while eating, especially a sporting event. Though my time in San Cristobal is short lived, if I am ever here again, I will definitely come here to have tacos. ”
“ Great food and service. I had several meals here. Breakfast, lunch and dinner. The menu is extensive. I'm addition to the standard menu, they have a daily menu. They also have complete meal options, for example breakfasts come with fruit or juice, coffee and a main dish. The same is true for lunch/dinner, soup, a beverage and main course. It's very clean and the tables and chairs are cleaned/disinfected after each guest. ”
“ This was a nice little grill serving local food. We got the mixed grill with tortillas and it was way too much food for 2 people but it was delicious. We also got the strawberry and pineapple Agua Fresca and it was the best we had the whole trip. ”

Beyond tacos, the quesadillas here deserve special mention. Cooked on both sides to achieve an ideal crispness, they bring out a depth of flavor in the cheese that is both comforting and indulgent. The goat cheese quesadilla, in particular, offers a unique twist with its creamy texture and subtle tang, providing a memorable taste experience.

Refreshing house-made aguas frescas, like the strawberry and pineapple options, add a bright, fruity note that complements the savory dishes beautifully.
