Pachamama — Restaurant in Chiapas

Charming Argentinian bistro, serving empanadas, pizza, pasta and select entrees like Argentinian style beef steak. This is worth a look-in for a change from traditional Mexican fair, and also a good option for pizza or for vegetarian dishes.

The restaurant is cosy and has a wonderful atmosphere, tables are available on the street too. Every table was evidently comfortable and chatting.

Food was delicious and plentiful, served fast but still cooked fresh. We were served a plate of salsas to dip bread into while we waited for the food, including some excellent chimmichuri which we proceeded to put on everything with gusto.

We ordered veggie calzone, full of mixed veg and cheese that was very reminiscent of an empanada; some creamy and comforting spinach ravioli; and a side of 'spiced french fries', which were actually more like wedges. All of it was outstanding. For s homesick Brit craving fried potato but wanting to avoid chains, these were a welcome find!

We paid 345 pesos for all that and two soft drinks and frankly over-ate, however special deals of a meal with a drink are also available for 100...

Eventually he took it back to heat and the owner brought it out a few minutes later. No apologies or comments. Just placed it on the table. This place is known for pizza and empanadas. I think we'll stick to that if we...

We tried this place because it was recommended by multiple people and it was really busy so we took it as a good sign. We shouldn't have. It was the most disappointing meal I've had in Mexico. Someone wrote a review saying it was the best pizza of their life?!?! I feel very sorry for that person becuase you can literally go to any takeway or potentially and supermarket freezer and get better pizza than this. The bases are definitely frozen and they don't even bother putting tomato sauce on. Its just a load of mozzarella with a few slices of pepperoni. The service was good but the food was not worth it at all. I...
