Ta Bonitio

Top choice in Chiapas


Ever had an octopus tentacle burger? No, we didn't think so. Highly imaginative and quirky modern Chiapas dishes are served up at this easygoing place that, as much as possible, uses only local produce. As well as unexpected main courses and great mezcal, it's also well regarded for its large and varied breakfast spreads.
