Restaurant Plaza

The Copper Canyon & Ferrocarril Chihuahua Pacífico


This excellent, family-run restaurant offers fine food with real home-cooked flavor. The specialty is aguachile – a soupy, spicy shrimp cocktail full of onions and tomatoes served in a molcajete (traditional mortar and pestle). Don’t be fooled by the tiny front dining room – there’s a large shady courtyard in back and a sunny rooftop patio with views of the towering canyon walls.
