  1. A

    Restaurant Techinanco

    A fair walk from Gate 3, behind the Pirámide de la Luna, this homey restaurant serves excellent home cooking at comparatively reasonable prices. The small menu takes in local favorites from tacos fritos (fried tacos) to enchiladas, authentic homemade moles (chili-sauce dishes) and other traditional fare. Ask the ebullient owner, Emma (nicknamed Maya), about her curative massage (from M$600); call 24 hours in advance to arrange a temascal for up to 10 people (around M$3000).

  2. B

    Restaurant la Gruta

    Set in a vast cave a short distance from Gate 5 (don’t be put off by the sign on the path that says it’s 500m away; it’s a misprint), this white-tablecloth, tourist-centric restaurant is unapologetically gimmicky. Yet the food, while pricey, is surprisingly good and there’s live music on weekend afternoons. Reservations are worthwhile.
