Mamá runs Tacuba's best hostel, and luckily it exceeds expectations for such a remote town. All the action takes place in the trellised garden where guitar music accompanies delicious home-cooked breakfasts. Rooms are large and well priced, and include hot showers. There's an upstairs chill-out area with sublime views, while Manolo from Imposible Tours will attend to your every need.
