The service, care, food and all around genuine passion for San Cristobal’s culture and history was evident at every touchpoint. My server Isabella was only four days into working here and made it one of the best travel and hospitality experiences I’ve ever had. Could not recommend this place more

In love! We found this place through a waiter.

This place is beautiful, it has been decorated with purpose and love. As soon as we walked in we were transported to a different era and place. It was peaceful yet with boleros playing on the back, plants all around and a beautiful thick tree. Its colonial architecture trips you into a peaceful world that makes you curious about the moment, place and time. Their food is artisanal by a recognized Cheff. We had a delicious welcoming papaya jelly, ordered the chipin tamal and the cereal, amazing flavor, it was a whole adventure! Every single detail, the juice was great, and the waitress was SO attentive. Finally we found a place with high standards that helped us travel in time in San Cristobal. It is such a nice town.

The patio is really beautiful. The service was adequate. For me I didn’t enjoy the food very much. It is pretty pricy and has lots of regional options and I thought the flavors were pretty average. It seemed to be more about presentation rather than flavors. The juice was pretty good though. They give you a free appetizer but it was a pretty dry cake type bread.

So I love it I got seated in the back and gratefully bcuz it’s cold out ! I got the soup and the chicken and a sponge cake all unique the soup was corn and poblano the fried cheese ball just perfect and the way they pour it into the bowl ……… showmanship
The chicken was rolled and 4 good pieces and purple cauliflower and Cacao-style ??? I did not care for the dressing I got that one the side. The desert was a local cake very large and delightful
Sweet poxna again the sweet sauce on the side but the cake was gooood odd and light and just unique

This was our best meal so far in San Cristobal. Taquito appetizer of lechon was out of this world. The chile relleno was well prepared and tasty. The star of the meal was the Mil Hojas dessert – blew us away!

Top culinary restaurant in San Cristóbal de las Casas

16.738880°, -92.638525° Part of chic hotel Sombra del Agua with inner courtyard in the centre of San Cristóbal de las Casas, this top TripAdvisor restaurant caters for hotel and outside guests. You can dine in the courtyard with fireplace during cold evenings or inside in a very nicely decorated restaurant. Service is attentive and professional from the start.

In December 2024, as appetiser we ordered four taquitos villa (rolled-up tortilla) stuffed with shredded (tinga) mushrooms, cream of four cheeses, strips of serrano chilli and caramelised onion in red wine (Mex$130). Excellent-tasting starter with nice flavours and textures.
As main courses, we ordered grilled 250-gram picaña (Brazilian picanha) with dried tomato sauce, beets, sweet potato crisps in regional chocolate gravy (Mex$340). We were hesitant about the combination of meat and chocolate sauce, but had to conclude that this is a very tasty combination. The picaña was well prepared and a very tasty culinary experience.

Tarumba restaurant offers a culinary experience. Highly recommended.

In a nice looking central hotel. The restaurant is set off a central courtyard and nice enough. Both our starter, free “snack” and both main courses were lacking any kind of interesting flavor and with such a high rating we were definitely disappointed. Wouldn’t go again.

Best restaurant we ate in sofar on our trip.

Excellent staff with knowledge of the local ingredients. Going in great length to explain you the small details of your dish. The food – is just 1A. Can’t get any better in terms of composition and flavouring. One of the best ambiences as well to have your dinner at – a fire place – impeccable restaurant design and live (yet not disturbing at all) Mexican live music from 2 people who know what they are doing.

You better visit this place – you won’t regret it.
