Las Tinajas Home Cooking
Restaurant Las Tinajas
A long-established home-cooking spot two blocks from Palenque's central plaza. Portions are generous and prices fair; one main dish often feeds two.
Las Tinajas is on the corner of 20 de Noviembre and Abasolo streets, two blocks from Palenque's central plaza. It's a budget restaurant popular with backpackers and locals alike. The long menu includes Veracruz-style fish, mole chicken, chilaquiles with grilled beef, and guajillo chile shrimp, which are frequently recommended. Portions are very large, and three people can eat for about 600 pesos. It accepts only cash or bank transfer, and the tip is included in the bill. The street is noisy, and food can be slow when busy. Open daily from 7:00 a.m. until late.
