This is probably every foodie traveler's dream: to make a voyage to a country known for its excellent gastronomy and eat like a true local. Even though dreaming to eat à la Bourdain by going into someone's house and sharing a meal with a native of the region/city/village, this is an actual possibility at this locally famous taqueria and tamaleria. Doña Toña has been dishing out amazing food for nearly 50 years. What undoubtedly began as Doña Toña deciding to sell tacos de guiso on Sundays to generate some extra cash has become a local sensation, with the children and grandchildren now taking over the business. This is a Sunday only affair, although you may find tamales everyday at their nearby tamaleria close to Palacio Municipal, but having these delicious tacos being available only once per week makes it even more special. Here, everything tastes fresh and full of tradition. Tacos are served on huge handmade tortillas, and be assured this is no hyperbole. Guisos are also very fresh and full of flavor, and there are a lot to chose from. You may order Chicharrón en Salsa Verde, or Costilla de Puerco en Mole, Huevos a la Mexicana, Asadero, Moronga, Chilaca, or Chile Relleno. Order your tacos with either rice or some of the best tasting beans in all the state. To drink, you can order freshly squeezed orange juice, the ever present sodas, or champurrado, with its distinguishable fresh masa taste, something that is sadly less common nowadays. They also have amazing tamales, both traditional and fried, the latter which I believe to be something of a staple in this part of the country. The tamal frito con queso is the way to go if you want to try this delicacy, but I would also recommend the traditional tamales. Come here with your family on Sunday morning as all the residents of El Pueblito seemingly do, but don't arrive to late; the chances of them running out of food after 12pm are fairly high. Doña Toña's legacy lives on through her food and her children and grandchildren. Literally going to her home and having her family open their doors to their wonderful cooking Sunday after Sunday is part of what makes Mexican gastronomy so magical. The world will always need a place like this, a place that sticks with tradition and its roots, in true appreciation of where one comes from and what came before.

Located in the courtyard of the Casa de las Artes, the beautiful outdoor seating and great food attract a nice crowd throughout the day, and the proprietor is visible and involved--making his dedication to delicious food and a great experience obvious. Cafes are VERY common in this area, and you will find that there is a 'typical' Mexican cafe menu: coffee drinks, juices, smoothies, sodas, breakfast, salads, and sandwiches. Cafe Haus isn't deviating from the classics, like the hipster-esque Besame Mucho and Mate Bistro, or staying tried and true, like Restaurant Plaza, but instead the menu has all the staples with a modern flair. Take elevated technique and attention to detail and you've got Cafe Haus. My favorite Mexican brunch-type-food is called a 'mollete', which is toasted bread smeared with beans and topped with cheese--it's very, very simple, so how is it you can really make them stand out amongst others? ask the owner because that dude's got the answer. Huevos Rancheros are everywhere. Everywhere. It's a fried egg with a savory tomato and onion sauce on top; but the sauce here was awesome--complex but balanced. The same could be said of the chilaquiles, which were not overly sour or acrid, as they can sometimes be; both those dishes were the best of their kind that I had. The sandwiches here were also my favorite, specifically the skirt steak sandwich. https://youtu.be/fqCrJc2b9kw Goddam that sandwich. The meat is flavorful, cured and cooked; I thought it would be tough, but it was tender and juicy, and it's paired with a nice, soft, rich, fatty bread. The best thing I ate (in a restaurant) during my vacation. The drinks were also very good, especially the sodas. The coffee drinks, while not bad, aren't great, but the truth is we went elsewhere for coffee before/after coming here. The flavored lattes and cappuccinos tasted really good, but I prefer unflavored, so I stuck to the sodas, specifically the Italian Melon, which was freaking awesome. But in general, here too, the ubiquitous soda flavors were better than other places. I think the best way I can sum up the general attitude towards foods here is by mentioning the orange juice. When a few of us ordered orange juice, the owner informed us that (because of the season) the oranges weren't very sweet anymore, so he was adding a natural sweetener "to balance the flavor". That's it right there. None of us (two of which are residents of this city) had ever heard of someone sweetening fresh juice, but his reasoning made sense to us and the juice ended up being great--it was even clear that the juice had benefited from it. With delicious, thoughtfully made food, great drinks, and a relaxing and beautiful atmosphere, it's definitely a place to check out if you're in the area.
