Wow! Our experience at Restaurante El Cuatecomate was absolutely marvelous! The organic, authentic prehispanic cuisine was a true delight. We especially loved their agua frescos (also known as Tlayehuiadas), which were fresh and completely sugar-free—such a rare find these days! My personal favorite was the passion fruit mandarin orange flavor, a perfect balance of tart and sweet. There were so many healthy, flavorful dishes to choose from. The flor de calabaza and mushroom soups were both deliciously comforting, and the Tlaltequeadas, their specialty item, is an absolute must-try. I particularly loved the chaya and pumpkin one!
The rice and beans were fantastic, and the freshly made, hand-pressed corn tortillas were the perfect touch. Hansel, the owner, was always around with a warm smile, and his hospitality made the experience even more special. He’s truly fantastic and his energy is contagious. We loved it so much that we’ve returned three times during our stay in Tepoztlan. If you're in the area, we highly recommend Restaurante El...
Read moreI would recommend this place for anyone looking to try pre-Hispanic food. We ordered the chaya con zanahoria y flor de calabaza tlatequeada, betabel con rosa y jamaica tlaqueada (masa patties), tlayehuiadas (drinks) and breakfast platano w piña and mole.

I love the fact that they’re preserving ancient culture and the man serving us was very friendly and explained the dishes to us. He enthusiastically offered the table next to us some tea and traditional remedies for their...

Sin contar que la carne ya estaba refrigerada y los mismos meseros son los que preparan el platillo metiéndolo al horno de microondas, muy muy caro, no...
