What to Eat and Drink?

Tepoztlan has strong culinary traditions and excellent food both on the street and in restaurants. One of the great joys of a visit to Tepoztlán is sampling the amazing variety of tasty food at street stands and in the market. There are quesadillas stuffed with mushrooms, squash blossoms, chapulines (grasshoppers), or quelites (cooked spinach-like greens). Itacates, triangular fried dough pockets made of corn masa mixed with grated cheese, and a touch of lard are split open and filled with fresh requesón (Mexican ricotta cheese) or meat stews. Have some pulque to wash down your street food feast, and be sure to get an ice cream at Tepoznieves for dessert (if you're feeling adventurous, try the cactus or avocado ice cream!) Of course, there are must-try restaurants as well: *Los Colorines is brightly colored both inside and out serving flavorful traditional dishes. The generous servings and warm service make this a favorite among visitors and locals. Try the mushroom soup or Chiles en Nogada. *El Ciruelo is a more upscale spot, located in a quiet area, but not far from the center of town. Sit at an outdoor table with superb views of the Tepoztlan cliffs. *La Sombra del Sabina offers good coffee, simple breakfasts, and they also have a bookstore if you’re looking for reading material. *For evening drinks, visit La Cueva, an open-air bar where you can enjoy a pleasant time sampling mezcal and tapas.
