Alebrije
A fun, economical and busy cocina popular across from the Mercado Municipal, it serves freshly-prepared food like enfrijoladas con pollo (tortillas with bean sauce, cheese and chicken), chilaquiles and pollo con verduras (chicken and vegetables) to a dedicated local clientele. Vegetarian dishes can be prepared upon request, and the yummy fruit aguas are made with purified water.

Restaurante Plaza Real
The well-prepared meat, poultry and vegetarian dishes at this classy eatery have international appeal, but also authentic Mexican flavor. It's set in the tranquil, wood-pillared and warm sunlit courtyard of what was once Chiapas' state congress building, surrounded by upmarket craft and jewelry shops.

TierrAdentro
A popular gathering center for political progressives and coffee-swigging, laptop-toting locals (not that they're mutually exclusive), this large indoor courtyard restaurant and café is a comfortable place to while away the hours. It's run by Zapatista supporters, who hold frequent cultural events and conferences on local issues. A simple menú compa (fixed-price meal named for the Zapatistas; around $30 ), with rice and beans and handmade tortillas, is hearty and delicious. Also inside are a good (Spanish-only) bookstore and an indigenous women's weaving co-op.
