2 Best Restaurants in Chiapa de Corzo, Chiapas and Tabasco

Though it's touristy—it's a popular lunch stop for tour groups—this place serves a variety of regional dishes. Everything is set up buffet-style, so you can afford to experiment. Try the tasajo (sun-dried beef served with pumpkin-seed sauce) and the chipilín con bolita, a soup made with balls of ground corn paste cooked in a creamy herb sauce and topped with cheese. The restaurant closes at 6.

For fairly authentic chiapaneca cuisine in a lovely environment, try this restaurant on the corner of the main square. The best seats are in a cute garden in the back. The tasajo (a soup made of cured beef) is an interesting preparation. The food won't blow your mind, but it's pleasant.
