Cafeteria CHOCOLETO — Restaurant in Chiapas

Authentic cacao! It’s so delicious and unique. The owner (Don Jose) prepares everything by himself. He came up with his own method of processing the cacao beans, he does not ferment them, but dries them on the sun. That makes them taste uniquely and authentic - just like Mayans used to drink it. The place feels like it travels back in time. It has its soul. Don Jose is a beautiful human being, so knowledgeable about cacao, and life in general. It was a pleasure to visit this place and have a chat with him. If we ever come back to San Cristobal we will for sure visit this...

Amazing natural chocolate!

Jose prepares the chocolate by himself, from bean to hot drink.

The chocolate is naturally sweet due to the fructose that he adds to the 100% cacao. This fructose is coming from the fruit itself. You'll see it in a crystallised form in the chocolate.

So he is right when he says there is no 'sugar' added. It's not industrial sugar but the fructose!

So educate yourself before you judge. He is a very passionate man with a lot of knowledge.

I highly recommend it when you want to try something...

You need to come try the chocolate here. This man makes the chocolate from farm to your cup. People come from as far as Europe and Korea to try it. Do not miss out while you are here. If you understand Spanish, this man is full of wisdom and is more than willing to share. Take the opportunity to learn from him. He pours his love for humanity into his product and is proud of it. You definitely feel it...
