Mexican restaurants in San Cristóbal De Las Casas

  1. 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 yet delicious menú compa (M$35) rotates daily, with hearty offerings such as rice and beans with handmade tortillas.

    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 courtyard of what was once Chiapas’ state congress building. It’s shaded by enormous ficus trees.
