Perquín Restaurants

  1. Antojitos Marisol

    On the south side of the parque central, this is a classic greasy spoon. Handwritten menus and a few printed addendums are taped to the wall at the head of each of the long wooden tables, which have benches and tablecloths.

  2. Cocina de Mama Toya y Mama Juana

    Nothing fancy here, just good fresh típica (regional specialities) served in a clean comfortable setting at decent prices. It's part of the Hotel Perquín Real - or rather the hotel is part of the restaurant, as the latter was open first - and its rooms open onto a dining room with rows of wood tables and benches. It's an open-air setting, so be sure to bundle up in the winter months. It's at the south entrance to town.

  3. El Ocotal

    A pleasant eatery at the top of a forested hill, where wood tables and benches are set in an open-air dining room with a small bar - the view of the trees below is nice. Típica is the specialty - gallina india asada (grilled hen) is a favorite among regulars - but you always can order a burger and fries, too. Bring a sweater at night.

  4. La Casita de la Abuela

    A popular eatery located on the ground floor of the hotel of the same name. This is a good place to get a good-sized típico breakfast and midday pupusas. The relative cleanliness inspires confidence, too.

  5. La Cocina de Ma'Anita

    Perquín's best hotel also has its most formal restaurant, though the huge A-frame dining area is more ski-lodge than mountain bistro. Tables along the front windows get nice morning light and have overhead lamps on henequen cords for nighttime. The owner may install booths, which would class it up a bit.

  6. Pollo Camperkin

    Pollo Camperkin Comida a la vista (meal served buffet) is prepared daily at this modest cafeteria - there is typically a chicken dish (as the name suggests), vegetables and beans. Arrive early for each meal to get the best pickin's. Around sunset pupusas are served up hot and fresh.
