The 50 best places to go out in San Cristobal de las Casas

The caves are quite cool but overall an underwhelming experience if you are used to nature. Should you have some time to kill, it is worth a visit but don’t break your back trying to get here. The individuals working there are not friendly, greeted us with their hand out, and tried to keep my partner’s change. Entrance fees are 10 for the park and 15 for the caves. There is a 5 peso charge for bathrooms. The zip lining did not look very exciting. I saw no horses. The water is very polluted. There were a handful of rainbow salamander creatures which were quite beautiful. They did have snacks and drinks for sale as well as a restaurant on site. On departure, they wouldn’t let us take a marked taxi and wanted us to get into one of their own unmarked vehicles. I didn’t get the best vibes overall. We ended up taking a collectivo back, which you catch just up the road.

It’s pretty cool, but not really a destination. The cave is kind of interesting so if you just wanna get outside of town and do a little nature walk, I’d say it’s OK. One tip would be to take the collective vote bus as a taxi this sort of a rip off it basically will drop you off right in front of the entrance and save you a bunch of money

So magical, I can't believe that I almost didn't come here! Definitely take the time to also explore the fantastical gruta and to appreciate the forest canopy from above at the mirador! Just 15 pesos straight from the downtown area to the entrance of the park every 8 minutes until 6 in the evening. When I was there it was 10 to visit the arc and 15 to go into the gruta. Well worth it!

magic place, nice walks, fresh air, local people take so nice care🙏

The level of enjoyment you get from this place will depend on your expectations. If you are expecting a well organized, entertaining activities and lots to do, you might be disappointed. It doesn't have a lot of information, it is run by local indigenous people in a very laid back, simple way, and although there are different things to do, it is not overly entertaining in itself. The entry is $10 pesos p/person. There are grounds you can walk or bike through. Fun place to take photos. The natural arc rock is free. The Zipline is $150 per person, and it includes two ziplines. Was safe enough. To enter the grotto is $15 pesos per person. This is kind of different and fun. But crowd control is not practiced: it can get a bit cramped in some of the small places. Also hard access for overweight or really tall people. There were also option of boat rides, rappelling, camping and tightrope. But we didn't participate in those. My teenage children moatly enjoyed because of the novelty of the grotto, riding their bikes and the ziplines, and they had their drone and camera to play around taking cool photos. It would've been nice to take a picnic, or to rent a palapa and have a BBQ on the grill, but we didn't plan accordingly. Overall, it is a lovely spot for a day out in nature. It was so clean and fresh, and plenty of families were out and about enjoying the sunshine. It has a restaurant and a comedor selling snacks, but we didn't try those out either. I gave it 5 start because it is really is a nice place to visit, I loved the grotto, and the excuse to hang out with my family. But I also understand that it is not a highly modernized and efficient tourist attraction.

Beautiful and unique spot. There's an entry fee of 10 pesos per person for the park and then a further 15 pesos if you want to go into the caves. Definitely worth the extra 15, atleast once. Stunning and strikes a nice balance in eco tourism. Well looked after, but still allowing us to go in and enjoy the place.

Amazing natural place that is so close from San Christobal, just take a local bus! The caves are incredible and so much better than ever expected! Also just perfect for a lovely walk in nature or a picknick

I was here on a Monday evening. the atmosphere was great. there was a street artist playing song in front of the establishment. the place was busy and is a good place to people watch. you get free tapas with each drink. wine starts at 30 pesos. I tried a Mexican vine and it was decent. the service was prompt.

Unique and colourful bar! With quick service and great staff! Very lively in the later evening. Everyone that is sat is given a few tiny eats like popcorn and papas on bread. The alcohol is all reasonably priced so cheers! Only real negative thing to say is the guac tasted frozen/chemically was really hard to eat.

The place was awesome, great drinks and variety of dishes. Prices were decent and the service was great. Highly recommend

Very cool vibe, good wine at reasonable prices, and complementary tapas! We may have gone every afternoon for happy hour during a recent trip! 🍷

Nice place to relax and have a drink in the afternoon. Every drink comes with a free tapas. Right by the street musician and it's a pedestrian street, so no cars and no fumes. Great atmosphere.

I rated the food a 4 but it is good. I rarely give 5 stars for food that is not gourmet level. Just so you know that there is nothing wrong with the food. However, the big standout for us were the great service. Diana was very nice and attentive and always there when we needed her. The vibe of this place was excellent! It has communal tables which is a great way to meet other people, which appeared to us to be mostly locals. We speak Spanish but one of our table mates spoke very clear English to us, so I think non-Spanish speakers would have no problem here. It is a cozy place, filled with interesting, cool people, great music (classic rock when we were there) and just an all around place to have a good time. It was a packed so I assume it is a very popular place. We will definitely return.

Amazing place!! We ordered a bottle of wine and got small baguettes that were great Good price and great atmosphere

Kinoki is a truly stunning place to see sunset. They have a wonderful tea selection and great service. Their food is okay, not bad my any means but certainly not going to be the best food in Mexico. It's truly a wonderful cultural space to support local artisans and community while also enjoying the gorgeous landscape that San Cristóbal has to offer.

I got just in time to find out a movie was about to being, we ordered Ham & Cheese Sandwich which was pretty good and drinks, started watching the movie with the complimentary popcorn and they brought the food to us. Definitely a good experience!

Their patios and especially the rooftop patio are the real stars here. They have a good tea, coffee and drinks menu. This is a favorite spot of mine to enjoy drinks and the view. The food is okay. Good pizza seems difficult to replicate in San Cristóbal. Service is usually attentive, prices are fair. I would recommend the drinks and the view.

Super charming place to watch a sunset! Wished we had more time to go to a movie here too, maybe next time!

We were here twice to watch the sunset on the terrace. The view is very nice and when it gets a little colder, you get ponchos. The prices are reasonable. The staff is helpful, but a little bit slow. In the same building there is also a cinema where you can watch independent movies.

The food is ok, but the view and atmosphere is great!

Great location with a really cool vibe inside. The place is on the 2nd floor with lots of windows to enjoy the view and terrace for small tables of two. Not yet servicing alcohol, but good service and pizza.

This walking tour was hands down one of the best experiences I had in San Cristóbal de Las Casas. The guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also passionate, funny, and welcoming. He made the entire group feel instantly comfortable and engaged. We explored the rich history, vibrant culture, and hidden corners of the city that you’d never find on your own. What really stood out was the balance between historical insight and local storytelling. It wasn’t just a list of facts—it was like walking through the city with a friend who truly loves and understands it. From colourful markets to colonial landmarks, every stop had meaning and depth. Whether you’re in San Cristóbal for a few days or a few weeks, I highly recommend starting your visit with this tour. It gives you context, connection, and a deeper appreciation for this magical place. Thank you Carlos so much for an unforgettable experience!

Had an absolutely incredible experience, one of the best tours I have taken around the world. I felt like we did so much more than skim the surface of the historical and cultural landscape and I felt like I both learned so much and had an emotional connection to the stories of the tour as well. I have a much deeper understanding of San Cristobal now and therefore a better appreciation for this amazing city! Could not recommend more and a big thank you to Carlos.

We did a tour with Carlos (Canga) and it was the best idea we had while in San Cristobal. He not only ensured we saw every little nook and cranny hidden in the city but also made sure that we always had something to do, somewhere to go, something to see. His free tour isn’t like the rehearsed monotone guide tours I’ve seen elsewhere, he makes sure you experience the city’s food, engage with the people who have made San Cristobal their vibrant home and really observe and learn how deeply its rich history is rooted in the art, buildings, clothes, and people. I would definitely recommend this for anyone visiting from any country, you will not be disappointed.

One of the best walking tours I’ve been on in all my travels. Canga was a fantastic guide who was very entertaining and knowledgeable. He made the tour super interesting and engaging covering an array of topics of the local people and wider issues in the area or communities that live in the area.

We did the tour with Carlos and had an incredible time! Carlos was super nice and enthusiastic, amd had a lot of fascinating knowledge to share with us. Highly recommended to do the tour with Carlos, the best guide in town!!!!!!

After a month in Mexico and multiple ‘free walking tours’, this was by far my favorite. San Cristobal and Chiapas have such a rich history; pre-Hispanic, post-colonial, and present, all of which were captured by Anna in her tour. She also gave us a real feel for the atmosphere of the city, its political activism, and the complexity of its relationship with commercial powers such as Coca Cola.

This free walking tour was one of the best we ever did. Our Tourguide Kanga knows a lot about the Mayan culture, the cities history and tiny little details everywhere you would never see without him. He showed us the local market, told us how to see the difference in quality of vendors and where to buy fairytale clothes. Additionally we got a free coffee tasting, saw beautiful places in the city and learned a lot. I would highlyyyy recommend this tour.

A little disappointed, I read it was supposed to be a 3 hour visit but in reality it has very few pieces. The place is beautiful and the few pieces and specimens there are also beautiful and special however I would have liked more information on the trees and production, shaping and polishing. There is a video playing in loop with this information but I would have liked more hands on information.

This museum is a brand new museum, the building was a convent and an army station. About the ambar collection is significant and almost the information about how important ambar rock is important in Chiapas state. The visit is worth it, and entrance money is visible because the building is going through reconstruction.

I can't spend hours and hours in museums, especially when I have my teenage children with me, so this one was perfect: only $50 pesos to enter, and it has one large room with plenty of amber on display (see photos in other reviews) and enough information to tell the story of amber, from it's composition and formation, to mining and uses. It's definitely not overwhelming, but informative enough to know a bit more about amber. The videos were not working when we went through. The shop was very extensive as well, and didn't seem expensive. They also provide a certificate of authenticity with each piece we purchased. I love that they are restoring ex convents and housing museums in them. This ex-convent is being restored by a civil association and depends on donations and the entry fees of the amber museum to continue their efforts. But it's also cool to see the one finished side and the unfinished side opposite.

Beautiful collection of amber in a gorgeous convent currently under renovation, located in a charming hilly neighborhood.

A Must-Visit in San Cristobal. This museum is in a historical building convent. It keeps the most Amazing unique Amber collection with pride and care. If you are curious to see (or purchase) this million-years old rock this is a great place. We have visit the workshop and discussed with the artists that worked on the pieces and its director and curator. It was a great and authentic experience. We highly recommend you visit this place.

The Museum is very nice For a reasonable ~50 MEX pesos you can have a look at tons of beautiful pieces of amber, including fossils and intricate sculptures, there is a english brochure that they give you ( if you ask) and that helps for non-spanish speakers.

Nice, compact museum dedicated to Amber. Most of the focus is Chiapas. They also discuss the global history and use of amber. The building is historic which used to be a convent then later a prison. Fee is inexpensive, less than 2 USD. Allow at least an hour or 1.5 hours. Nice shop which includes certificate of authenticity. Staff is attentive, knowledgeable and helpful. Learn here before buying on the street or in the market. Spend a few minutes watching the videos at the end of the exhibit.

While the place is more upscale than others, it's well worth the hype. I enjoyed eating and working here. The food was delicious, servers were attentive and kind, and the patio outside was my favorite place to work on the computer and read. It's very busy though, so keep that in mind in case you need a quieter place. I would definitely return, it's a fave of mine 🙏🏼🥰

Great atmosphere, the decoration is beautiful. We fell in love with the interior decoration. The food was also really good, drinks super ok and overall a great place. I will definitely come back. Good taste, good service, good location and amazing decor.

I went here with high expectations. Sadly, the two barking dogs and the out of control screaming child ended that. The food was okay, but I’ve had better in San Cris.

The place is very nice it was a recommendation from a local I met eating at another place and it was a great choice the only thing to know they don’t serve lunch until after 1:30 I got there at 12 and had to come back but I ordered their especial which was a soup, chile en nogada that is one of my favorites and a guava drink all for $150 pesos, I was very satisfied and I recommend this place

Beautiful place, great breakfast! Nice ambiance with live music.

Very nice Cafe and restaurant! We came here for breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. I had the breakfast nachos with steak which was the perfect way to start the day! Service was very friendly and quick. There is also live music often! The way the place was decorated together with the music created a great ambience. Can highly recommend checking them out!

One of the most aesthetic cafes I've ever visited. Fell in love with its botanical interiors and elegant vibe. Food and beverage are expensive for the taste but worth the money cuz the place is just perfect. 너무 예쁘고 분위기 좋아요!

Such friendly staff — thank you for helping me so thoughtfully when my partner was sick and I needed to take two soups to go. The soups were really tasty! I hope to be back again soon! :)

A wonderful little spot with lovely, welcoming people. The coffee was some of the best we tried in San Cris, and the pastries were delicious. It was one of the highlights of our time in the town sitting on the patio in the sun, people and dog watching ☺️

Another recommendation from walking tour. We came here for breakfast and it was a decent experience. I love the package add on where you can get a cup of coffee, fruits or agua del Dia, bread and homemade jam for 50 pesos extra, that is a good deal. Sitting at the patio and people watching is a special thing here in this cafe (indoor seating is also available but nobody sits there unless the patio is full). When we arrive, another table has a musician guest who was picking his violin and later playing guitar so we got a special mini concert while enjoying our breakfast. I love the homemade jam they served, Mango and Ginger, not sweet but great flavor. The portion of the breakfast is smaller compare to Chavela we went yesterday but we are happy with the portion. Coffee (Americana) is average. Servers are kind, patient and always with a smile. They also accept credit card.

We just came for breakfast and had the red and green chilaquiles. Both were delicious and very filling! The outdoor seating is lovely too.

Favourite cafe in San Cristobal with great little outdoor patio in the sun, great Mexican food especially the Chilaquiles, staff are really friendly and excellent sweetie treaties if you have a girlfriend.

Came here several times for coffee and pastries. Delicious food and a great environment.

Perfect spot - the best vegan muffins, great staff and good energy :)

We stopped here as part of the Free Walking Tour. The guide introduced us to one of the amber artisans who gave an informative talk. Then she bought some local sweets for us to try.

This mercado is 2 floors and a great spot to buy your souvenirs They have so many handcrafted items and prices are a lot better than those stores in the center. There is always a room for negotiation

Colorful and full of goodies. A quieter corner of San Cristóbal at stonethrow distance from the central plaza.

Very interesting place, lots of crafts, jewelry and delicious food. Very clean and well organized. Highly recommended.

The inside part is pretty lame, overpriced textiles that you should really make the effort to buy from the source - which is the markets in the indigenous villages surrounding the city. Zinacantan, Chamula, etc... But the outdoor restaurant area has a bunch of remarkably cheap and authentic local dishes - pick an establishment that looks busy, and enjoy.

Beautiful artesian market with authentic sweets and food.

Nice store but only if your looking for a souvenir amber is fragile as I found out and is not a great daily thing to wear as for the candy's well the store was high priced

Wonderful Market in San Cristobal de las Casas We visited this market every day during our stay to buy fresh fruit, meat, and vegetables. The variety was impressive, and the quality was excellent. It’s a vibrant and lively place that truly captures the local flavor. Perfect for anyone looking to enjoy fresh, authentic ingredients while exploring the area!

Nice big market, just goes on and on! Great fresh veges, herbs and spices. Lots of food stalls for tacos and other local dishes.

One of my favorite markets in the world. Sadly, please eat here with caution. The nearby river is an open sewer & many reports of illness. Do shop for fruits, vegetables, handmade tortillas, candies, dried chiles, spices, coffee, chocolate. You can find beautiful candles, raw wool, little toys & sweaters. Be sure to walk around the periphery of the market to see all the day vendors. Early morning is best, but this market is bustling all day.

Great market. You can find anything there.

Little local markets with only a few things but very low prices. I had a refreshing pozol and some empanadas and I enjoyed hanging with the locals for a little.

The pin for this market is in the wrong place. This pin is 20 minutes away from the actual market.

Local market for almost everything. Most woman dress traditionally with a black hairy long skirt made of fur.

An Outstanding Textile Museum – A Must-Visit for History and Culture Enthusiasts! I recently had the pleasure of visiting this incredible textile museum, and I can honestly say it exceeded my expectations. Best of all, entry was completely free, making it accessible to everyone. The museum is packed with a diverse range of exhibits, showcasing the rich history of textiles from various cultures and eras. Each display was thoughtfully curated, offering fascinating insights into traditional craftsmanship, techniques, and the cultural significance of textiles around the world. The building itself is a stunning piece of architecture, adding to the overall experience. Its elegant design and historic charm create a perfect setting for the exhibits. Unlike some other museums like the jade and amber museums, which often feel more like shops selling souvenirs, this museum is dedicated solely to education and preservation. It offers a genuine, immersive experience that truly highlights the artistry and cultural importance of textiles. Whether you're a history buff, an art lover, or simply looking for an enriching day out, this museum is definitely worth a visit. It’s a wonderful place to learn, appreciate craftsmanship, and enjoy a peaceful stroll through history. I highly recommend it to anyone passing through the area!

Incredible experience! One of the highlights of my trip to San Cristóbal! It’s fabulous to see the talent the pattern makers possess and it’s free! Don’t miss it 🤩🕺🏻

It's a nice, informative museum in an impressive building with good view of the city. I recently took a sewing course, so there was plenty of colour, stitch and pattern to study. I was there around 4pm on a Thursday, and I was the only one inside.

The "Centro de Textiles del Mundo Maya" was an amazing experience. We came on a Sunday so the admission fee was free (0$ only on Sundays). It was a beautiful collection of textiles and artifacts from Guatemala and Mexico, I spent hours looking through their amazing collection of fabrics and weavings and quilts.

If you want to learn about San Cristobal's history this is a good place to start. They have in exhibition ceramic sculptures of the first civilization in the state also they have artifacts from the Spanish Conquest, but the best and my favourite part is the Textile exhibition, it's not a big exhibition but it has a lot of different textiles from Chiapas and from Guatemala.

The best textile museum I've been to in Mexico, absolutely top quality. Free to get in. Excellent ancient relics. Do not miss out.

FANTASTIC museum! One of the best museums dedicated to textiles I have ever been to (and I have been to many in many countries). Huge collection, wonderful service by the staff; you can see the reverence the Mayan textiles and its history are treated with. A favorite place in SanCris, and in México. GRACIAS for allowing us to witness the talent of such a marvelous culture.

Guau, guau, guau!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️that’s some of the best vegan food I had in all of Mexiko (and maybe beyond). So delicious! Highly recommend! I had the sopa del días, taco pastor and tamales! Muy delicioso❤️‍🔥super nice staff, cute place, amazing food!

Visited three times during my short stay in San Cristobal for delicious and very affordable vegan food! The tofu was fantastic - reminded me of how I make it at home - and the portions were all very generous and filling.

Finally, I could enjoy vegan mole and a traditional Mexican breakfast without altering the entire dish. The all-vegan menu is diverse enough to give everyone something. They even have amazing fresh juices (I got the immunity juice). I chose to sit out back without knowing that their trash and extra kitchen items are behind a fence back there. This just meant that breakfast was accompanied by employees dragging trash by me, or running to get some supply for the kitchen. It was busier because of this. Still…it’s likely not like that later in the day, so don’t let that ambience issue stop you from enjoying this place. It’s a great stop off en route to the Amber Museum for morning breakfast.

Ordered two burgers with fries - they were SO good. Great value for money considering how big the portion was. The restaurant itself is also very beautiful and the servers were very kind. We will be back!

Excellent vegetarian and vegan restaurant in central San Cristobal. We ate here twice and had 4 different dishes between the two of us, everything was delicious. The staff were friendly and it's a nice restaurant with an outdoor area. Would definitely recommend this restaurant, after 2 weeks in Mexico this is the best food we have had.

So lovely, many options - we came here 3 times on our short trip! We loved the tacos - Empanizada was our favourite. I loved the cordon blue too.

Delicious food, had a wrap with seitan and a good black coffee. Wanted spicy sause on the side, couldn't decide which one, and the waitress let me have all 3 options - all different and all full of taste. I ate all of the sauces and still couldn't decide which one I liked most. The whole experience exceeded my expectations.

We were there when there was very good live music, great vibes.

Best bar in the world 💕💕💕 I’ll miss

Good price, good staff and an amazing salsa atmosphere when you come at night. Live bands, mezcal and everyone dance salsa in the bar. Crowded, because it is awesome that’s all !

Really nice place, good vibe and live music. BUT they first made multiple mistakes on our bill, after pointing it out the waiter recalculated the new bill wrong with 200 pesos in their advance. And still tried to add 10% service fee after we had to wait 30 minutes for our drink and 1 hour for nachos. So check your receipt before paying.

The espresso was decent. The taco beef was just chewy and over-spiced and taste kind of like liver underneath. It's a good place for music inside in the evenings. Nice patio for people-watching. Overpriced compared to many better cafes in the area. It is a bar so there is a wide selection of alcohol..

This is my go-to bar. Very friendly with people from across the globe. Most staff speak some English. They have different live music every night. Always 2 bands per evening. They have great food and friendly service. I highly recommend this bar. Also, it's directly on a walking street with tons of shops and other venders. Lot's of locals selling jewelry, plants, and breads, almost anything you can think of!

I regret that I cannot recommend this place. I visited twice during my month-long stay in SanCris. They have a somewhat international-inspired food & drink menu, but I’d stick to the music. The food was subpar, and while on my second visit, the flank steak I ordered was old with a slimy texture (needless to say, I didn’t eat it). The service tries but doesn’t deliver - even though they added a 10% mandatory service charge when I paid in cash (I tipped 20% because I’m a decent person - even though this place is not). And even if you pick a table inside, you’ll be constantly approached by people off the street who come into the dining room trying to sell you their wares. Stick to the mezcal and music, and you’ll be fine; anything outside those parameters, and you cannot say you were not warned.

Came here twice. First time with walking tour, and came back again to try some pox based cocktail. Esteban is our server and he was super friendly, made recommendation for me to try the Pink pox tonic, made with corn based pox blanco, citrus and Jamaica infused pox. The drink is super smooth although it’s super strong as well. I didn’t feel it until the end of the last few sip and was a bit tipsy after lol. Highly recommend checking out this join when you visit SanCris.

Came with the free tour for pox tastings which was great. Afterwards we stayed to look around, they have a lot of art and other products made from local artists. We bought 2 beautiful small ceramic cups but honestly we couldn’t taken way more if we had place in our suitcase, everything was really cute. The girl who did the pox tasting and worked at the counter was super cute and kind!

Omg the cocktails here were DIVINE. The pink pox tonic (hibiscus dream 🌺) and xaman (chocolate heaven 🍫) are a must. They were really fairly priced too! We also had a pox tasting here and loved every artisanal flavour. You can buy multiple sized bottles, the small ones being great if you're travelling around.

Beautiful experience tasting genuine locally made Pox. Highly recommend to anyone interested in trying out a tasting. They also have great produce available and speak perfect English. Bea was great 😁

Beatriz was a knowledgeable and heartwarming guide for our Pox tasting. Had the best ‘first date’ with her ♥️

Yes, go here. As far as I know it is one of the only places selling real Pox (posh) that has at least 70% corn alcohol. This is not a tourist trap. There is a wonderful young lady working there who is from the South but also lived in a bordertown near Arizona. She speaks impeccable English and is a knowledgeable trusted source. In fact everyone working there was so nice and really interested in seeing that you are taken care of and happy. They offer tastings (free) and even cooking classes (for a charge) given by the owner and I heard positive reviews. There is a fusion restaurant as part of the complex sadly we were not able to try. We actually came back on another evening for drinks and so glad we did. The same lady was there and she entertained us with information and recommendations. Unfortunately they close at  8pm but we absolutely had a memorable comfortable enjoyable short time there soaking  in the atmosphere and  the alcohol, drinks. The real reason we came back is they served Mead, a honey based drink similar to beer but more like a cider to give a brutal  description to such a delicate historical drink. What I learned was they actually make this here as well as other beers. The Mead was an insanely incredible drink. Very subtle but intensely well crafted and tasting almost like a fine champagne or a very mild cider for the upper class. If you appreciate different things, you will really enjoy this. It is amazingly refreshing, polished and enjoyable. If for nothing else, you must not miss this on your trip to Chiapas. Now my daughter really loved the hibiscus posh we tasted on our first trip here. So we had to come back for this. She chose to get it in a cocktail and the cocktail was absolutely out of this world. Not only was it an art form to see, it was an art form in composition containing multiple infusions as well as the white posh and the hibiscus posh. It's dangerously drinkable.  And I see this is well described in previous reviews and in the pictures but I will continue to add my positive recommendation for this drink. I don't want to sound like an advertisement and you can see I have reviews from all over the place and I don't advertise anything but just to let you know they have a full stocked selection of pox and beers. Trust me, I would have bought a lot but we were starting our vacation and there was no way I was schlepping around tons of alcohol with me in a suitcase... Anyway, full recommendation 100%. Unfortunately I can't say anything about the food but I wouldn't doubt it's amazing. All I can say is if you really want an amazing experience and wonderful hosts and to be able to taste and experience and learn about the local alcohol in a comfortable safe low/no pressure environment you really shouldn't miss this place.

Excellent pox tasting experience with Sofia at the end of our walking tour, and delicious cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks when we returned! The chocolate pox is to die for! Such a lovely space with lovely people.

Historically significant cathedral that has some great artwork depicting various saints, but otherwise very plain. Outside the church are numerous venders giving the location the feel of a festival during the weekends. While there is a road up to the cathedral, I found the lengthy switchback stairs in the front a great challenge and exhilarating exercise.

The main church on the Dan Cristobal. About 300 years old. Lots of shops and coffee places, shopping area around it. I did the walking tour from here.

Incredible piece of history. I had the bad fortune to visit this place after the devastating earthquake of 2017 and it was closed but the facade remains a powerful sight.

The diversity carruedvin business and culture..not forgetting the outdoors colors in houses and businesses

Amazing place with an inner magical energy.

Couldn’t go inside because it was under maintenance, but it looks beautiful from the outside.

It’s really a very cute small awesome town worth to go there try their cafés and vegan quesadillas

Nice church from the outside. Not always open and the way towards the church... mind your wallet, you will spent money on the souvenir market 🤣🤣 we went back twice and everytime my wallet was emptier than when I went

Interesting well decorated front wall. Entrance is on the side. Inside a big wooden wall with gold paint. Never seen these solutions before.

I love this architecture piece of jewel. 🌻✨

beatufiful and quiet church, is astonishing both outside and inside. not recommended for tourists as you could be interrupting the peace and quietness of the people inside

Don’t miss this church, museum and the market around!

Beautiful church but hard to appreciate at the moment. Closed off for renovations and you can't go inside (just like the cathedral). You can't even appreciate what's left to see from the outside, since the surrounding areas normally belonging to the church are now fully "squatted" by the "artisanal market".

This Church was restored and is one of the most beautiful on Chiapas. The monastery with its church was built in the 16th century, with the monastery secularized later. The church retains its original function. The building with two courtyards was restored between 1999 and 2002 to become a community and cultural center, with the Museo de la Laca, founded in 1952, moved inside to take up much of the upper floor. This museum contains about 450 pieces from various parts of Mexico and Asia, mostly made in the 20th century. The complex also contains halls with permanent and temporary exhibits along with an auditorium and various types of workshops. The former monastery complex was built along with the Santo Domingo church on a small hill overlooking the Grijalva River, in the second half of the 16th century, attributed to Pedro de Barrientos and Juan Alonso. The church portion is one of the best preserved from the 16th century in Chiapas. The former monastery is behind the large church with two main courtyards. It was secularized during the Reform War with the church retaining its original function. It underwent its most recent restoration between 1999 and 2002 in order to make it a community and cultural center for the city of Chiapa de Corzo, with the Museo de la Laca moving into it. It, along with other facilities and operations, is managed by the Consejo Estatal para la Cultura y la Artes of Chiapas (CONECULTA). The entire building is officially called the Casa Escuela de Tradiciones but it is most commonly called the Museo de la Laca, although this museum only takes up most of the upper floor.

Lovely experience, the wait staff was incredibly warm, took their time to explain the origin and significance of the ingredients, and made our visit very special. They happened to be out of our first choice desert that night so we went with the nieve de calabaza and it was INCREDIBLE - just goes to show you can't really go wrong with their menu, there is something delicious for everyone here. One of my colleagues is a vegetarian and she really enjoyed the meal as well. Highly recommend while you're in San Cristobal

Really beautiful display with authentic ingredients and a rustic and contemporary combination that is appealing to the eyes and the taste buds.

Must go place in St. Cristóbal! Martha and her husband gave us great recommendations. They are passionate about food and they care about the qualities!! Every single dishes/drinks are highly unique but all inspired by local history and ingredients. We had breakfast here and came back for lunch on the same day. We have been in many Michelin restaurants in Aisia and Europe. This one is as good as those world class ones! And they won many national awards already!!

My best culinary experience in Mexico. A fine dining proposition, but without pretention, fully local and original. I had the mole and it was divine, different from the usual rustic mole served in Puebla. Eventually I found a very well cooked chicken in Mexico. The desert was very good too. Impressive! This place should be on the list of any food amateur, and is a real chance to experience fine dining at an affordable price! (for westerners unfortunately).

One of my favorite restaurants in San Cris. Impeccable service and food was creative and delicious. Was my first time to see mixed blue and yellow tortilla. They provided amuse bouche and also gave us shot of pox/posh for free. The pan de muerto was made to order so it was the best I ever had. We also worked here for a bit; wifi was decent when we went. Pleasant and elegant ambience; definitely must-try place while you’re here

This was my best meal in San Cristobal without a doubt. It was gourmet level food and used many of the local ingredients to accomplish this. From the beet and carrot chalupa, tortillas from 3 different grains, to the chicken mole with plantain and cheese to the chocolate tamal with fruit purée and flowers. It was excellent and the service was too. Although it was smaller portions I was not able to finish the chocolate tamal. It was really filling. I also had a Mexican wine. I could not believe the price was $25USD for total. This is a great value for the quality. I know that is expensive in comparison in this area but it is well worth the price.

Probably the best restaurant I have been to during my visit to Mexico. Great interpretation of the Mexican cuisine with modern touches that will make you feel a superb culinary experience. We ordered the seasonal menu, which is composed of: starters + two main dishes (to choose between 3 options) + dessert. Do not miss the 'Gordita de Chamorro', your would be avoiding the best dish on my opinion. Great service too. 5 stars to chef Marta Cepeda & team

I visited the museum, not the hotel. Although the museum is quite small, I spent about 30 minutes there. The exhibitions are well-curated, with information available also in English, and the building itself is beautiful. It's a nice spot if you have some spare time, but not a must-see in my opinion. It's conveniently within walking distance, and you won't need much time to explore it. Restrooms are available. A side note: it would be helpful if they could separate the museum and hotel on Google Maps to make reviews for each more distinct.

I went to visit the museum, and it is a truly amazing experience. The place itself is wonderful. Every room with information and pictures is delightful and, of course, to learn about all expeditions that Gertrude and Frans made to the Lacandon Maya Jungle is incredible.

Very interesting hotel with a deep history of indigenous people! It's a bit far from the city center, but it's worth staying there and supporting indigenous business! Price is very reasonable! Don't forget to check out their museum, back garden and chapel

Wow! You have to check out his museum and garden. The fact that they also have a small cafe and restaurant in the middle that is so quiet is just a bonus.

Lovely little museum! The story of the owners is truly inspiring. Recommend to anyone interested in the indigenous culture and history of Chiapas 🙏

One of my favorite little museums and gardens in San Cristobal. Wonderful place to meander and learn the history of this inspiring Swiss woman (and a bit on her Danish husband) and of many of the indigenous people they befriended and advocated on behalf of from the 1950s onwards. The gardens are a lovely place to sit in or to wander and be inspired. There is a small hotel and restaurant and a few other options here, all of which are on the grounds and in the original house where this couple and their adopted Mexican daughter lived and worked for decades.

Amazing museum to visits. It’s both a beautiful building and a record of two explores lives. Don’t miss it.

A great spot for well-prepared speciality coffee and tasty food (including massive slices of not-too-sweet carrot cake). The cold brew was exactly what was needed on a hot day, and both the patio and indoor areas are great spaces for hanging out (we went twice during our stay). Highly recommend!

Great place with super fresh food and good prices. For breakfast there is an unbeatable deal to get fruit, juice, coffee, and eggs in a combo. We ate here one day for lunch as well and what stands out is the freshness of ingredients. If I had one criticism it is that bread always seems to dry. It is good whole grain, but very dry. But this def one of if not the top breakfast place in San Cristobal.

It’s such a peaceful and lovely experience to sit outside in the courtyard here. The coffee is absolutely scrumptious—definitely one of the highlights! Just a heads up, you might catch some live music while you’re enjoying your drink, which adds to the vibrant atmosphere. The wifi isn’t the most reliable, especially since it was busy when I was there, but that didn’t really bother me. There’s also a cute art gallery and an outdoor shop in the courtyard that are worth checking out. Overall, it’s a great spot to relax, sip on some great coffee, and soak in the creativity around you!

Great Breakfast restaurant with garden patio seating!! Delicious coffee and muffin and had the most amazing pancakes in a long time!

We enjoyed Chiapas pour-over coffee and brunch with yummy local cheese and banana pancakes at this local favorite spot. We got our lavender and rosemary fix at the garden there sitting in the courtyard of a renovated 400-year-old hacienda.

Such a great find! This is my favorite cafe in San Cristobal. Love the carrot cake, nice frosting and the cake itself isn’t dry at all! The cafe is very artsy and surrounded by flowers and plants. Having brunch here is like sitting in a garden. We had musician playing violins and the service was very fast. My breakfast omelet was very filling and tasty.

Our go to caffe every day! Delicious coffee, lovely garden & indoor space. Morning live music & great service

Great shop with beautiful textiles & truly enjoyed the owner Alex… we liked the Pox so much, we ended up flying to San Cristobal to see the other Posheria!

It’s a really nice place, I could’ve stayed there for hours. Posh is delicious, my favorite definitely was the tamarind one, the jamaica one is also absolutely delicious, but that if you don’t like such a strong flavor of alcohol. They also have 3 types of flavorless traditional posh. Service was great, would definitely go back

Love this place, I literally spent an hour at this location every evening while I was in Chiapas. Very cool, chill vibe. Nice place to relax and people watch as well. Ceremonial posh was my favorite. Always left happy 😁👍.

Amazing place with nice service and awesome Pox. You have to go here.

Very cool little posheria! That was my first time trying this unique drink (posh), and not only did I enjoyed it (I tried Tamarindo and coffee flavors), but the atmosphere was also very culturally enriching!

Kind and informative employees, very nice and colorful, kind of psychedelic but traditionally inspired atmosphere. And of course, tasty, good quality posh (local corn alcohol).

Unique in their class. An experience worthy of San Cristóbal town

The Park and the caves are beautiful. The downside is you have to pay for everything individually. You have to pay for toilets. You have to pay for both caves separately. You have to pay for the horses. You have to pay for the zip line. Plus even though you get a ticket for the caves, once you exit them, your ticket becomes invalid. Meaning you have to pay to enter again. One cave even has two sections and you have to pay for them separately as well.

Don't go there! There's nothing about Eco or turistic! It's an awesome place ruined by the administration and Mexicans! A huge forest ruined by car and motorcycles, barbecue, rubbish, high music, stand(food or clothes)...and fireworks! That's not a natural/quite place! P.s. poor animals close in cage!

The caves are very close to sam cris about an 80 peso cab ride infact. Its 25 pesos to enter the caves and then a further 35 to get a guide to take you deeper into the darkness.

Sharing details of horse ride: 20 minutes ride: 100pesos 10-12 minutes ride: 70pesos 7-8 minutes ride: 50pesos 1 hour: 200pesos

Nice cave. Tour guides are indigenous children. Pretty park with lots of trees.

Beautiful Park.

Incredibly caverns and a place to eat, buy gifts, and camp!

Great vegan options, delicious food and portions are good size. The place is small but comfortable, they have plenty of desserts and drinks. You gotta try the Quinoa salad and Chococaramel bar

Cute place with amazing food! And amazing prices! The nachos were incredible. I got an appetizer and main dish and it was more food than I can eat. Normally vegan places serve small plates so this was a huge plus! Would highly reccomend.

I'm vegan + Medical Medium + gluten-free and mostly fat-free and corn-free. My way of eating can be hard to maintain while traveling. Bek is a great little vegan restaurant with many gluten-free dishes and cakes on the menu. I had quesadillas with hibiscus to go, plus a homemade sneakers bar. And everything was so delicious anf full of flavour. Price was 106 pesos. I came back the next day for a gluten-free cupcake, and it was delicious too. I highly recommend this place. #glutenfree #vegan #plantbased #medicalmedium

The healthiest, most diverse and most delicious food I've gotten for a long time! I had Tacos and I would have never imagined that one could do them so healthy and fresh! I would give 10 stars if it would be possible!😍🤤

If you find this feedback useful, please click the helpful button so I can add similar content in future reviews. One of my favorite healthy restaurants in San Cristobal. I went two times for dinner, once for breakfast, and took lunch for take away for a long bus ride and everything I had was delicious. Tried three of their bowls, a salad and a muffin. And prices are unbeatable. If you love healthy food or are curious to try out vegan cuisine a relaxed setting, AND you want free nachos with delicous salsa, then come here. 🔥WHAT’S SPECIAL: They have Spanish tortilla!! Its one of their most ordered dishes. I didnt get to try it but if you do, tell me. You can build your own salad and smoothie bowl. They have a lunch deal: For 125 MXN, you get baguette, fruit, water and muffin. They also bake their own bread and offer many gluten-free deserts. 🥗MENU: The entire menu is plant-based with a lot of gluten-free options. Heaven! Breakfast bowls, fruit salad, pancakes, mango pudding, granola, cold-pressed juices and smoothies, yummy deserts, veggie bowls, salads, soups, sandwiches as well as all traditional Mexican dishes (tacos, burritos & co). Basically everything your heart desires. 💵PRICES: Compared to quality, its FANTASTIC! Smoothies (44-55 MXN), breakfast bowls (80-85), pancakes (80-90 MXN), veggie bowls (less than 100 MXN), baguettes (70-80 MXN), salad (69-72 MXN), cookies, muffins etc (10-39 MXN) 🍛PORTION SIZE: The bowls are fairly small. While for me, it was perfect, it may not be enough for someone who likes to eat A LOT. 🍛DISHES I TRIED: 1) Lentil bolognese with salad and it had a slightly sweet taste - too sweet for me but still delicous, 2) Buddha Bowl with rice instead of quinoa, yummy! This one was interesting as all ingredients were already mixed.. But very good taste 3) Salad: build my own for the bus ride and it was a huge portion - loved that too, 4) Ensueño Bowl, delicious! 5) banana/chocolate muffin was a delight 6) Verde Juice with ginger was good. 🙋‍♀️CUSTOMER SERVICE: Food arrived fast. Service was always good. My favorite server is Chantalle. She was smiling, open, friendly and up for a chat. ⏰OPENING HOURS: Daily 8.15 - 21.30 except Thursday when they open from 12 - 8 pm. 🪪PAYMENT: I was only able to pay cash. 🏡VIBE: A small bistro type place with 4 tables, its quiet dark inside but it has its charm. You’ll meet fellow travelers, those who value healthy food and you even get to chat to the waiters if things are not too busy. No matter if you are vegan, vegetarian or meat eater, you’ll love it here. 🌎WIFI: Free Wifi available. ↗️SUGGESTIONS OWNER: A bit more quantity for toppings would be great. A Card machine would be fantastic. June 2023

Great spot for vegan food. They cook up healthy and tasty food with lots of veggies and whole grains. The Buddha Bowl was probably my favourite. They also have a few delicious treats like the gansito Cinnamon roll etc. You can also buy almond or coconut milk that they make themself. Also possible to buy different grains, species and homemade peanut butter (The Cacao 🥜 butter is delicious)!

Amazing healthy food for the soul. Make yourself a favor and go and visit this little shop in the center of San Cristóbal. Food was amazing! And they sell planet based milk in glass bottles that you can return and refill anytime for 30 pesos… what an lovely conscious concept for the environment. 100% recommended friends!

This market is an amazing experience...it's take more then 2 day to shop the whole market...lots of fun and great buys

Loved it!! So much better than the crowded tourist areas! The prices are reasonable and you can experience life as a local.

Local markets always interesting!

Good variety of souvenirs....although if you're looking for the authentic local handmade stuff then that's becoming rare, it's a mix of machine produced copies of the original and stuff from Guatemala...nevertheless some good buys and the designs are great.

I needed two times to visit it. Crafts for every wallet, clean , lovely people, food vibes and buena onda. Go4it

We went there a Sunday and half of the shops were closed, hence we might have missed the good shops. However the half of the shops (open that day) is not worth the visit. They all sell the sames cheap souvenirs. This is very disappointing and does not show the craftsmanship of the local artisans.

Highly recommend to stay at this hotel is very clean and affordable prices plus the crew is very friendly and helpful you should ask for Kevin . And all personal will make the great experience food is also good and affordable. So many positive experience . You can stay from 800 pesos pero night or about 45 USD . So relaxing an secure you can be walking along the beach or the street and all residents are very friendly . Love the stay .

Landmark of San Cristóbal de las Casas. at the meeting place. Many souvenirs are sold at night.

Great ambience, great bars ans restaurants, great people, smalle town fuul of colours and culture.

Beautiful place, full of artists, sellers, musicians, craftsmen and artisans. Dont miss it.

Such a sweet town center where you can watch musicians play, indigenous dances and other dance performers like that man from Vera Cruz and his cute set up. Also you can take pictures with Batman and other DC & Marvel lookalikes. I sit down and watch the hustle and bustle of one of my favorite Mexican towns pass through.

Great place to see the local culture

Wery nice market of local hand made products 😃

The heart of san cristobal, always lively with visitors and locals.

Nice place just to see people walk and living there life's, nice place to meditate about live.

This place like so many others in San Cristobal is closed and no entry available. Such a shame to see so many beautiful buildings closed

Pretty place if you get a chance to walk past it.

One of favorite sites off the beaten trail. Just a perfectly designed building.

Kind of a cool little cultural area.

its pretty low vibe for what it could easily be

It is fenced and you cannot pass under it.

Cool stuff at good prices, come here instead of the shops

You can find a large variety of souvenirs you just have to pick what you want at reasonable price just careful with ambar there is a lot of fake glass or plastic .

Must see in San Cristobal. Find all the best souvenirs at half the price of anywhere else in Mexico.

Great place to spend hours in with the cheapest great stuff

Not very good

Nice

Super

El Paliacate offers amazing service. Once a week they have Open Mic's, which my partner joined in to read from her book. Furthermore, this place has a great range of food and drinks. We personally used their promotion where we got a pizza and 1.2L beer for a reduced price.

A really cool place to come and chill and grab a drink while in town. I came by last night and got to witness a fantastic performance by Groove’na who performed a very accurate tribute to Pink Floyd. They were phenomenal!

Amazing people doing amazing things supporting important causes all throughout the world as well as here in Chiapas. always a good dance party with beautiful, friendly faces all around. 10/10 recommend

The taco's with pork and ginger are great! If possible, visit on Wednesdays for the open mic.

if you are in san cris and looking for some good nightlife, this is the place to go. They have a wide variety of bands from all over Mexico playing there (yes salsa/cumbia, but also punk, singersongwriter, etc) as well as open mic, film screenings etc. Great little bar. The pizza I got was not very good, but thats not why you come here !

My favourite venue in all of San Cristobal! Your mouth will thank you; the drinks are fantastic. TRY THE CHOCOLATE POSH. I was new in the city and I met some beautiful people bouncing around mingle with anybody and everybody. Appreciation to the owner for Paliacate

Best place in San Cristobal! Awesome music

(Translated by Google) Nice park with lots of trees and very busy. In the central part there is a building, where very often, in the evening, they play live music from the club. A very nice place to spend some time. But the whole city of San Cristóbal is wonderful and I recommend visiting it. On the side of the Andador de Guadalupe there is also a nice porch where you can take shelter in case of rain. (Original) Bel parco con tanti alberi e molto frequentato. Nella parte centrale c'è una costruzione, dove molto spesso, la sera, suonano musica dal locale dal vivo. Un posto molto piacevole dove passare un po' di tempo. Ma tutta la città di San Cristóbal è meravigliosa e consiglio di visitarla. Sul lato dell' Andador de Guadalupe c'è anche un bel porticato dove ripararsi in caso di pioggia.

(Translated by Google) An unparalleled atmosphere, it is worth visiting San Cristóbal de las Casas (Original) Un ambiente inigualable, vale la pena visitar San Cristóbal de las Casas

(Translated by Google) The Zócalo of San Cristóbal de las Casas was a multipurpose center from its origins. Its name, March 31st, commemorates the day San Cristóbal de las Casas was elevated to city status in 1829. Being an open space, it remains to this day a place full of life, gatherings, and social activities for its residents and visitors. Newlyweds even leave the chapel and celebrate their happiness in the Zócalo with music and dancing, sharing it with the local people. (Original) El Zócalo de San Cristóbal de las Casas era un centro polifuncional desde sus orígenes. Su nombre 31 de Marzo por que se conmemora el día en que San Cristóbal de las Casas fue elevada a Ciudad en 1829. Al ser un espacio abierto es hasta el día de hoy un lugar lleno de vida, reuniones y actividades sociales de sus habitantes y visitantes. Incluso, nuevos matrimonios, salen de Capilla y celebran en el Zócalo, con música y baile su felicidad y la comparten con el pueblo de ese lugar

(Translated by Google) A very pretty square with many trees and its traditional kiosk (Original) Un zócalo muy bonito con muchos árboles y su tradicional kiosko

(Translated by Google) A cloudy summer afternoon, with a temperature of about 22 degrees. Marimba music warms the heart, and people stroll carefree, enjoying the pure, oxygenated air of northern Chiapas. It's a great place to chat and stroll, looking at the local handicrafts. (Original) Tarde de un verano nublado, con una temperatura de unos 22 grados. Hay música de marimba que alegra el corazón, la gente pasa despreocupada y gozando del aire puro y oxigenado del norte de Chiapas. Excelente lugar para conversar y pasear a pie viendo las artesanías lugareños.

(Translated by Google) The main square of San Cristóbal is really central. The streets are star-shaped and you can look into a wide variety of shops. The street vendors are not pushy. Which was very pleasant for us as tourists. Many restaurants invite you to linger and eat. (Original) Der Hauptplatz von San Cristóbal ist wirklich zentral. Die Straßen gehen sternenförmig ab und man kann in den unterschiedlichsten Läden schauen. Die Straßenhändler sind nicht aufdringlich. Was für uns als Touristen sehr angenehm war. Viele Restaurants laden zum Verweilen und Essen ein.

(Translated by Google) Zocalo, plaza, park. Beautiful, there is music many nights in the central kiosk. (Original) Zocalo, plaza, parque. Hermoso, hay música muchas noches en el kiosco central.

If I could give 0 stars I would. Never have I seen a staff so committed to making the guests have a poor experience. They have rooms next to the kitchen and to the cleaning supply closet. At 6am they start banging outside of the room, upon kind request to stop, they never apologized and said they need to operate the (empty) restaurant. Then the gardeners at 7am started banging, again we went to ask if they could kindly do that later, they said yes only to have it one minute later redone. I went to reception to complain again, said we would need to change rooms if we were to stay, they said no problem. We tried to get a few hours of sleep, at 12.30 we went to reception to have the room changed and they said we could go to another hotel but we would be charged the entire stay as it was after checkout time. I showed them the messages where they confirmed the room switch, but nothing. The hotel has beautiful crafts textiles in the reception, we tried to book a tour of the indigenous towns with them specifically asking to see this. Again they confirmed it was possible to then book us in the most expensive tourist trap, exploitation at best of the indigenous people paid like actors to perform for tourists. We said we didn’t want the same company, which I came to learn had 3 stars on google, to take us to Palenque the day after. They said they would refund us for the tour, only to take it back the day after. There are a lot of beautiful hotels in San Cristobal, this is only a missed opportunity

We had an excellent meal here. When we first came in the TV was on and the music was loud and club-style : I asked them to turn off the TV and change the music and they did immediately. Everything was fresh and creative - The nopales appetiser, corn soup and broccoli were particularly good.

Had a great stay at Casa Lum! The hotel's central location near bars, restaurants, and attractions was convenient (10-12 min walk). Professional staff, impeccable service, and a focus on sustainability. The room was beautiful but a bit small and cold. Delicious complimentary breakfast. Would definitely stay here again.

This place was beautiful🤍 I loved everything about it. The food was amazing, the interior, the service!! You NEED to go to this restaurant if you are in San Cristobal. You definitely should try the Eggplant Parmesean, it was sooo good that I am for sure going back to have it once more before I leave Chiapas. For desserts, I loved the cheesecake and lemon pie 🍋, but if you were to choose one go with the Lemon! It tasted amazing!!!

Beautiful and friendly hotel in the most interesting and vibrant part of this charming town. The staff is beyond incredible - most helpful, friendly and accommodating. They satisfied every wish and whim. For example, as vegans, we were served a special breakfast, with the chef bringing local veggies from her own garden (try chayotes!) and making delicious dishes just for us. Beautiful rooms. What a great place! You have to stay there when in San Cristobal.

Without doubt the best hotel in San Cristobal de las Casas! Besides being extremely beautiful and unique, the location is absolutely not to compete with. It's walking distance to everything in the city. We even got the most delicious breakfast in bed in our beautiful room to very reasonable prices. The best thing about this hotel though was the service all of the staff were super helpful, kind and smiley. The only problem about this hotel is that you don't want to leave.. Ever🙈 We thank you so much for one of the best experiences, we will definitely be back🤩

Best Hotel Experience in ALL of Chiapas!!!! I brought my mother to Mexico to celebrate her 77th birthday (was her first time visiting Mexico) and the staff at Casa Lum went out of their way to make it special and an unforgettable experience. All of the staff from check in, housekeepers and restaurant were so genuine and helpful. The hotel is beautiful and relaxing, the rooms are spacious and well designed, and the food was amazing. My mother and I felt so welcomed by everyone and we felt very at home during our stay. I also arranged a massage for my mom via the hotel and they sent a wonderful gentleman named Pedro. My mother says it was the best message she’s ever had. Back in April I received devastating news that I have stage 4 cancer and honestly I wasn’t sure this trip was even going to be possible…thankfully I was able to take my mother on this trip and with the help from the amazing people at casa Lum….this really was a once in a lifetime trip. It will always mean so much to my mother and I and if I’m able to next year….we will return to San Cristobal and Casa Lum. I have so much gratitude for all of the staff at Casa Lum, for they truly are the best!

This is my second time eating here and I’m truly blown away by how amazing the food is. Even just the roasted vegetables are the best I’ve ever had. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I had the red curry and the Thai soup and both were top tier in flavour. Will be back.

My favorite restaurant in Mexico. I go to the place every time I visit San Cristobal. I've never had a dish I didn't like. Salmon is amazing, no fishy taste, crispy. The asian food there is spectacular. The SALADS are amazing too. The deserts are great. I don't know how the kitchen keeps up to all these variations they have on their menu and keep them tasty. Salute goes out to them! They could improve the pasta as the noodles are store bought, they could easily buy/make fresh pasta. The the wood chairs are extremely uncomfortable and almost like tourture, but worth it.

A real waste of a restaurant. Such a beautiful restaurant, amazing ambience with an appealing menu. With the good reviews I really expected something great, but sadly it all falls flat. The service is unprofessional, doesn't explain dishes properly and rude, poking us when they try to get our attention and serving out our dishes at different times. The burrito was hands down the worst I have ever had, it was soggy, had zero balance in flavour and just tasted bad, the fries on the other hand were amazing which was honestly the only plus of my meal. Overall I would avoid this place as there are many better restaurants in the area.

One of my favourites restaurants in San Cristobal, if you are looking for something different try this place you will absolutely love it! The service is great, the food is amazing and the vibe is very unique!

Absolutely amazing food. The gin and tonics are incredibly fresh and the noodle dishes were some of the best I’ve had. If your in San Cristobal, you must come here for lunch or dinner.

What to say about the best restaurant in San Cristóbal de las Casas. Fantastic atmosphere and a menu that could try everything. I recommend the arrachera steak and the local craft beers. Undoubtedly a gastronomic delight.

Excellent place. Run by all women who are lovely. The food is very variety and great. Lots of international modern dishes. One dish is enough person. The decor could be anywhere.

Hotel Bo is without a doubt, the best place we stayed during our trip through Chiapas. Out of the five hotels we visited, this one stood out for its stunning design, cozy rooms, peaceful courtyard and the library was a nice touch that made it hard to leave. The staff was AMAZING —so warm and attentive. They made everything about our stay comfortable and effortless, always going above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. The food at their restaurant, LUM, was delicious, and the location is perfect—close to town but still so relaxing. The thoughtful touch of gifting each room a handcrafted stuffed animal when we left was the cherry on top. Everyone in our group was pleased with the experience.

The Hotel Bo in Chattanooga is a great place! Starting with Ericka in reservations and working at the registration desk. She is so helpful and friendly! Then, April in the breakfast nook is very friendly. The manager Dale, is without a doubt the most engaged hotel manager I have met. I saw him cleaning the pool, helping clean a room, working the registration desk, and chatting with guests. In addition to the great staff, the rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable! And my favorite part, the pool is fabulous! Clean and a comfortable temperature. We are looking forward to being back there next year.

This is a very nice place for the money. The staff is professional and kind. A shout out to Erika who checked me in and made me feel welcome. She deserves a raise. The pool and bar area are both very nice. Clean, comfortable rooms!

This cute boutique hotel has been a dream for me and my girlfriend to stay in, although we couldn’t really speak Spanish, the staff was able to speak English and where very kind and helpful in terms of advice and providing service with trustworthy taxi and other services. We had a wonderful stay. The hotel is in the center of the town of San Cristobal, which is very beautiful and safe to visit. Everything in the center is reachable by foot. We would highly recommend to go and explore the historical Mexican beauty!

Located in very quiet area, yet about 10min or less to get main area of town, this is great Hotel to stay. Rooms maybe missing mini-bar (fridge) but service and area will just cover that portion. Stuff are very welcoming and even at late night.

The restaurant at Hotel Bo has been a favorite of ours since our first visit to San Cristobal. In the past we were delighted by the quality of the food, the ambiance, and the service. Sadly, our last dining experience at Hotel Bo was one of the worst we’ve had in some time, mostly due to the terrible service. My husband was served his main course and then it took another 30 minutes to receive mine. There were no apologies, and once the problem was obvious, the wait staff disappeared. It was bad.

On 12/09/23 My family and myself attended a wedding at this hotel and we ALL got food poisoning. The only thing we all ate that was the same was at this wedding. We all woke up tremendous stomach aches and diarrhea.

The pizza was really good, like Italian style, thin crust and tasty. But the service was awefullllll. We were the only people in the restaurant and we had to call out HOLA. To place the order, the have the bill, then to pay the bill. They were all just on their phones. If you want the good pizza you will just have the deal with the bad service !

BEWARE OF DANGEROUS SEATING! I got torn pants from a protruding nail. Complained and got the brush off. NOT INTERESTED. -We went on Saturday lunch and wanted to sit in the enclosed courtyard area. As we were 9 people,we were directed to some bench seating on which I sat and it immediately started to collapse. As I stood up it tore my pants and I got spiked in the leg. We went to complain and the lady who was in charge phone the manager, ( who appeared to be her Pop), and basically said it was our fault for wanting to sit out in the courtyard area. We just got defence and no apology. We just got the finger so we went elsewhere. In my opinion IF SOMETHING IS WRONG THEN YOU WILL BE IN THE WRONG. JUST TO WARN YOU.

Excellent pizzas with fresh ingredients. The staff is really friendly and welcoming. Very nice view from the 2nd floor balcony.

You get a pretty good deal for like 350 pesos. Really big pizza and we were even able to make it 50% veggie and 50% prosciutto. It came also very quickly!

Back again we the boys still delicious pizza. Boys love the Hawaiian. Word of advice watch your head going into the room to the right. Low door for those over 182cm. Ouch. And to the management, please begin to stock some of the delicious micro brews.... Simply great pizzas, wood burning oven. Yummmmy and affordable.

Nice and Cozy place. Wide variety of ingredients (toppings) to choose from. Good service as well.

Poor service, we asked for a pasta dish without vegetables and after a while the dish arrived with vegetables when we asked to replace it the waiter did not understand and the manager came and treated us disgustingly and then also did not want to listen to us and said speak Spanish and if you do not know your problem do not come here tourists

Don’t mess around. Get the salmon. ❤️❤️❤️ perfect place to celebrate my birthday with travel friends.

Very outgoing place with great (live) music. The ambience in this place is just on another level. The interior is very well designed to really give you a welcoming feeling. Next to this you have great staff and amazing live bands which really creates an atmosphere that is out of this world. All the food was delicious. I can highly recommend trying any of the chicken dishes or the salmon carpaccio. Place is not the cheapest but it is definitely worth your money. We will be back if we ever return to San Cristobal!

Do not recommend eating here. Prices as in upscale restaurant, quality of food lower than in local basic restaurants. Tried twice- different platters. Service OK. Not great, not bad. Atmosphere is nice, music. Good for wine and listen to a music.

Had the grilled chicken Pachuca. The cheese and chicken were a little over done for my taste. Mushroom sauce a 10+ Nice presentation. Service excellent. Cocktails very good. Atmosphere 10+

We ordered the Tabla Mixta which was delicious and beautifully presented. We also had a couple of cocktails (cosmopolitan and tierra del feugo) which were also good. Great atmosphere and close to lots of other restaurants on a pretty pedestrian street.

Beautiful (if not local) design, nice calm atmosphere. This place is located within a sort of restaurants mall, off of one of the main walking streets. I only had the eggs Benedict, they were over done (which lost them a star), and the exact copy of the eggs Benedict breakfast offered and better executed in the Sarajevo cafe. Would recommend a visit if it’s on your way but not worth a special effort.

Went here for breakfast after checking other’s reviews. Great atmosphere, great service, food presentation was great but the eggs Benedict and waffles were both cold when brought to our table. Both tasted good, just not warm. Coffee tasted good and was hot. A little bit pricey.

Very interesting geological and cultural / anthropological displays of the history of jade in Mesoamerica. The English option is a simple booklet with translations of the signs. However, in the extremely dark exhibit halls, it's nearly impossible to read and to match up with the maps and artifacts. If you're lucky, you'll see a craftsman working but there is no interaction or explanation and, as much of the machinery is very loud and their have headphones and we don't, it doesn't encourage you to linger and watch. There was a sign advertising free Mexican liguor tastings but nothing was offered. Many options for purchase. Worth a short visit for good overview.

The museum was quite an interesting place to visit! It had a wide array of fascinating exhibits that captured my attention. However, I found it a bit disappointing that the guide provided all the information at the very beginning of the tour and then simply left us to explore on our own. This approach made it challenging to fully appreciate the details and context of each exhibit as we moved through the museum. Despite this, there were still many cool and intriguing items to see, which made the visit worthwhile.

The museum has a lot of potential and there's still some space to improve, that's why the 4 stars!

Enjoyed our visit to this museum where you will not only learn about jade but also about how various cultures used and appreciated the gem. Quite interesting. The museum store sells real jade so don't expect street and market prices. Low entrance fee. Allow one to 1.5 hours.

I don't know why this place got low reviews. It was small and yes, the pieces are reproductions, but it was highly informative and a fascinting blend of mesoamerican and geological history. They even had an English booklet to translate all the signs. There's a replication of Pakal's funeral tomb at the back which was also beautiful both for history buffs and the casual visitor alike. The gift shop was very expensive but treated like an extension of the museum (especially with the live, built-workshop) it was lovely to look at. Plus you get a discount at the Kakao museum with your ticket from here which makes for a nice afternoon combined.

Lots of pre-Columbian examples of jade statues, masks, figurines. Worth the 30 pesos. Much more than the pics posted.

Small cheap museum - quite kitsch - worth popping in if you are next to it but I wouldn’t put it at the top of your list.

The experience was truly enjoyable and pleasantly surprising, as it turned out to be a workout that was not overly strenuous or difficult. It struck a perfect balance between being engaging and manageable, allowing for a satisfying session without feeling overly exhausted or overwhelmed. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the activities were well-paced, making it an overall delightful experience that I would definitely consider repeating in the future.

Beautiful Church and very beautiful panoramic sight on the city

A fun but tiring activity to climb the stairs, and the church itself is nice.

A very cute churchy at the top of the hill.. vie s are amazing from here. Lots of cafes and restaurants are around this place. I walked in the morning to this church and the views were beautiful.

A lot of steps and it’s suppose to give a whole view to the town however the trees cover most of it. Nonetheless nice walk and view.

It's a fun place to say you've seen. The steps are daunting but if you have limited mobility you can take a cab to the top and walk down. I've been told if you climb the steps with sincerity in your heart you can ask for a miracle. Inside is the Saint wrapped in ribbons for each miracle requested.

Beautiful church placed on a hill overlooking the city. You have a beautiful view from there, and the steps are an ideal place to rest a little. There are bathrooms next door for 5 pesos.

I had a wonderful experience at the Chocolate Museum! Our guide, Roxane, explained everything in English and did an excellent job. She was thorough, engaging, and very friendly. She went into depth, answered all of our questions with patience, and even added humor that made the tour fun and memorable. At the end, we were treated to delicious tastings of chocolate and pox, which were absolutely amazing. Highly recommended!

I liked the museum guide and since we where alone it was better. The staff is very friendly and the chocolate was delicious. I recommend to take the tour that includes a degustation att the end

A fantastic experience taking part in the Bean to Bar chocolate making workshop with Pati. It was a really informative workshop where I learned in depth about the chocolate making process and toasted and ground my own cacao beans. It was a really relaxing, fun workshop that I would recommend to all.

Such a fun experience! We did the Bean to Bar experience and had such a fun time. Roxana was so friendly and engaging. We’ve done chocolate tours and tasting in other places but we’ve never made our own. 100% recommend for anyone visiting San Cristobal de las Casas!

I enjoyed the tour and everything the tour guide explained about the cacao and how it was so sacred to the toltecas and mayans

A must to visit , much better than any cacao museum visited in Mexico , find Ms. Mayari to explain everything in the most professional way. Do not forget to grab some chocolates after the cacao tasting chocolate . 100% worth it as a destination to San Cristobal . Top : if you need English tour , it is available in two groups one 13:00 and the second at 18:00 👌🏻

Really great experience! Lots of different chocolates to try and some interesting facts to go alongside. Would recommend.

The most impressive part of the trip, Don Sergio has dedicated the majority of his life to help the indigenous people in many capacities, as a dermatologist healing wounds (looks like diabetes is an issue among them bue to the excessive consumption of Coca-Cola), building wells and teaching the locals about health care. He acquired the items in the museum over the years.

Fantastic! Dr Castro has an amazing display of Chiapas village costumes, and an excellent slide show of local Festival days. More than that, his commitment to helping burn victims and other sick people in the villages surrounding San Cristobal is phenomenal. Go! Don't miss it!

Sergio was the nicest man in the world. He helped me in a pinch as an American traveler and didn't even charge me. He's the medicine man and so is his assistant. Thank you Sergio

one goes here to meet and talk with sergio castro, a true hero for so many. sergio has been the savior of so many burn victims in san cristobal and communities around this colonial city. he gives selfishly of his time, money and energy to help those who would be left to be scarred from their wounds a true saint for so many. the re is also an excellent collection of traditional clothing, but alas in a sad state of preservation.

Super interesting situation. Doctor Castro is an amazing generous person, very friendly and very welcoming and his collection of Trajes are incredible to see!

This was one museum I'll never forget. The knowledge and the cultural preservation is unparalleled. Do not miss this!

As of now the museum is closed for renovation

Really cool spot with great coffee and amazing brownies. Cool to see the beans getting roasted. They offer a tour to the coffee plantation as well. Staff are lovely.

The coffee is fantastic. They know what they’re doing! We had the cardamom affogato and bought a bag to brew at home.

• tasty coffee ☕️ ✅ • wifi ✅ • plenty of seating 🪑 ✅ • great Price 💴 ✅

Nice atmo, working space! good dark chocolate, good tea, good smoothies, good food! fast wifi 🙏

The cappuccinos are amazing. Miguel Angel does an amazing job thank you. Best coffee I've had in Mexico

Great coffee shop that makes good coffee and has a lovely relaxing vibe. Really nice place to come for coffee with a friend.

Great place toeet with friends, and join the language exchange group that meets every Tuesday at 5:30

We wanted so much to visit this and the maya textiel museum but its closed at 3, with our tour we were always around 4pm.

Ducha great place for cultural interested people

Possibly the largest and best museum of textiles in all of Mexico.

Nice building, thats about it.

Great!

lively corner

(Translated by Google) Downstairs is this museum that has some interesting pieces and upstairs is the textile center of the Mayan world. In my opinion, the lower part could be more modern and have more pieces. What I didn't like is that the people who work at ticket sales kept shouting (without exaggeration) throughout my entire journey downstairs. They were laughing and shouting while they didn't let me concentrate to read and see what they had, I think. that the staff should be more cautious (Original) La parte de abajo es este museo que tiene algunos piezas interesantes y arriba es el centro de textiles del mundo maya. La parte de abajo a mi parecer podría ser más moderna y contar con más piezas. Lo que no me gustó es que se pasaron gritando (sin exagerar) durante todo mi recorrido de abajo las personas que trabajan en la venta de boletos, estaban riendo y gritando mientras a mi no me dejaban concentrarme para leer y ver lo que tenían, creo que debería ser más prudente el personal

Too loud speakers push latin music, they tried to charge us $20 pesos for spilling a beer they had to clean up. I told them we paid for that on the front end, why pay on the back end. Also that it wasn't our fault their floors may have been off, or more likely, they kept rickety tables. Also $40 peso water. Pass.

Music is thumping and drinks are flowing. There were locals out for drinks and travelers enjoying what San Cristóbal de las Casas has to offer. People start to show up for a good time by 10 pm. Before that it may be a bit on the quiet side depending in the day.

Ok bar with great music.*sometimes*. Good for a very high positive ambiance people, reggae, pop, electro, etc. Prices are ok. You can get a lot of fun. 420

The atmosphere was pretty cool, mixture of locals and tourists. Drinks are OK, normal price. Music is kind of latin rhythms, reggae, and there live music normally.

If I could I would give this place negative stars. I was there with my family and a shooting happened out of nowhere. The gringos were disrespectful and the security even worst. I would not recommend this place to my worst enemy. Chingue a su madre este lugar mal parido y la gente que trabaja ahí

Fun, mix of locals and travelers, variety of music. One of the few lively party places to go in San cris

Always a fun dance night at this local club

I ordered chocoate con agua but it was too bitter and tasteless. So I asked if I can add milk, and they said yes. So I thought I changed to chocolate con leche. But it turned out they charged me 20 more 😅 I mean it is just $1, so it is not a problem at all but it could have been better if they explained me earlier!

Really enjoyed my breakfast, and price was excellent for the breakfast combo set. Very nice venue, lots of room. Museo is underwhelming but free/by donation so a nice feature.

Nice place, good food, coffee & prices. Really recommended!

Great brefas. Got huevos rancheros, the bread they bring out with the butter and mango jam is 💣

This place has really good wifi, adequate for work or a 30 minute stable voip call. The ambiance is also really nice. It’s a large open space, very chill and relaxing. The food is also good, as are the staff. I came here multiple times during my visit to San Cristobal.

Best bang for buck for breakfast! Great coffee, bread and homemade jam with every order. The service is great too. It’s my go to almost every morning. Museum not very impressive. Go for breakfast!

The cafe is excellent and affordable. The eggs with chorizo were very good and the coffee was great. A big breakfast for two totaling 125 pesos in a nice courtyard.

Delicious falafel sandwich! The flavor is still there of all the ingredients! Only wish they had a no sodium chloride (salt) option. ... Of all the places I have eaten in town, this place is the only ones that actually respectful use Salt. It's not the cover flavor like so many other places here. I was so happy to find this restaurant. The owner has a very relaxing attitude but takes the kitchen seriously, everything is clean and organized, the foods feeling fresh off the process. Definitely made with heart.

What a place! My picture doesn't do it justice but this is my favourite falafel in San Cris. Pitta - excellent, falafel - excellent, fillings - excellent, condiments - excellent. The owner is super friendly and helpful. If you need some falafel, hummus or salad in your life this is the place to go!

The falafel in pita was so delicious that I didn't have time to take a picture 😅 Soft pita, tasty hummus, crunchy falafel balls, onions, wow. I highly recommend it!

Delicious Falafel in pita! A vegetarian place. I was pretty full afterwords. Very nice vibe, Hebrew music in background, and Hebrew books to exchange. The owner Hugo is super nice. Worth a visit

This falafel was excellent. That's saying a lot as I was raised in the middle east. Beautiful, made-after-you-order, crispy falafel, flavorful, creamy hummus, house-made freshly-baked pita, can't go wrong. Music was also good. I'm a fan. Go here.

Best falafel and hummus I've had in Mexico! Really good food for a reasonable price. Tried the falafel in Pita and the Falafel plate. The plate is a lot more food and easily shareable (but also easy to have it yourself, as I did). You get some pickles and salsa and the side with all dishes.

Best Falafel, probably in all of Mexico. Friendly and cheerful staff :)

This is an authentical market where they sell a lot of nice stuff! I was kinda sceptical about it, but all the sellers are lovely and kind. The prices of all goods are also very reasonable and one shouldn’t bargain about the prices (we were told this by guides), because everything is hand crafted and not as commercial as other markets in the country.

Mercado viejo has everything you need and is open every day of the week. I come here to buy my groceries & miscellaneous items I need from the friendly local vendors

Fantastic market with everything you might need. Lots of fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats (even live chicken and turkeys)!

Markets are the life of any town in the developed world. If you do not visit the markets you do not know the place. Visit.

It's a busy market full of locals doing their daily shopping. It had everything from fruits and vegetables to clothing and household items.

This is a Magical market filled with Life and beautiful people. I will continue to visit as long as we are in San Cristobal.

Nice, but a bit expensive, great food and atmosphere, good music but very loud, the stuff is really nice.

No elevator, no airconditioning, no privacy, and the room had a full trash bin when I got in... The entire hotel is a bit "tired" and needs renovations...

Great location, parking included and amazing customer service by everyone. The hotel has a nice local, authentic touch and all areas were really clean. The room was a bit tight but nicely clean with a nice balcony. We will definitely stay here again if we visit San Cristobal again!

We loved the proximity to San Cris. Enjoyed this hotel alot. The room we had was on the smaller side, but we chose the room:) They have added on over the years to make it a great hotel. Would absolutely recommend staying her in San Cris. Excellent pricing and about 3 blocks from the city center.

I overall liked my stay in this hotel, particularly the location (central but in a quieter street) and the balcony of our room, facing the church and with sun most of the day. Also everything was very cleaned and the room seemed pretty new. What I didn't like is the bed, pretty hard and uncomfortable - at least for me- and the staff of the reception that was not particularly helpful when we asked questions or support (at some point we had to do an international call to block our credit card and they only said to us, with zero empathy, to just go to oxxio).

Great location. Friendly staff, and quite a beautiful place. The internet was spotty at best during my 48 hour stay. Bathrooms are a bit under par in my opinion. Especially because they have open windows facing the hallway, so there's not much privacy there.

I really liked the hotel. Instant check-in, suitcases were delivered to the room very quickly. The staff is professional and attentive. Everything in the room is clean and tidy. There is hot water, but very low water pressure. Wi-Fi in each room, but you need to choose your access point with the maximum signal level. For breakfast I liked the juice of fresh oranges and scrambled eggs with bacon.

Hello everyone, I am a frequent traveler, my husband and I are always trying new places. This hotel is so frocking cute,Govea the impresión of a small Hacienda. Rooms are great and our bathroom was huge; we ate at the restaurant as well, tacos de arrachera are amazing and the camarones panzones are so yummy. Staff is super friendly and they have a garage to park your car. Quite handy. Let me tell you stay here is super close to the center and is so beautiful. Place is super clean and last but not least it has a great roof top. Come and stay you will not regret it.
