Tapachula de Córdova y Ordóñez, simply known as Tapachula, is a city and municipality located in the far southwest of the state of Chiapas in Mexico, near the Guatemalan border and the Pacific Ocean. It is one of the most important cities of Chiapas economically as the capital of the agriculturally rich Soconusco region as well as port for trade between Mexico and Central America. The area was originally inhabited by the Mames as a region under the control of the Mame state of Xelaju but was first established as a city by the Aztecs in the 13th century. Most of its economic importance has come since the late 19th century with the establishment of coffee plantations. This agricultural production began a history of migration into the area which continues to this day and has left the city with a significant Asian and German cultural presence as well as large Mayan and Nahua indigenous populations.

Whether or not you stay at the plantation, the restaurant is worth a visit (albeit almost an hour from Tapachula, before getting to the Hamburgo plantation..but more interesting than most restaurants in Tapachula). Up, up in the hills...beautiful plantation (nowadays, more dedicated to growing tropical flowers than to coffee...you can take walking/cart tours with guide for a fee). Interesting local dishes with a touch of coffee added. If you stay in one of the rooms, cabins, etc (meals not included), you can enjoy it all a bit more.

They took forever in bringing us our food, although we were the only table that ordered when we arrived and for quite some time thereafter. When they brought us our dinner, our fish was a horrible color, black!!, and looked like the scraps you feed animals. It was also half the size of portions they have previously served us when we went on other occasions. When we finally paid (I had to flag the waiters down for ignoring us), they owed us $145 in change, but only gave us $45! I had to insist that we get paid and properly reimbursed. The owner refused to apologize and only insulted us. What a disaster!Que tal lamentamos que haya tenido esa mala experiencia, pero también nos gustarÃa que comprobara que realmente asà sucedió, por favor envÃenos su nota de venta para evaluar lo sucedido o en su caso reembolsar lo que pago. La esperamos nuevamente y no haremos caso omiso a su opinión, esperamos su pronta respuesta.

A basic steak house with very clean and comfortable space (both airconditioned and outside available). My steak was quite good but a little on the fatty side...baked potato (restuffed) good..the vegetable grill was tasty and well prepared and presented. I would go back.First of all, we really appreciate your comments. For us, our visitors feedbak is key to helps us improve in order to achieve our goal of complete customer satisfaction. From your review, I got the impression you didn´t fully enjoy your steak, since you described it 'a little on the fatty side', and I wanted to point out that being a steak house we offer a wide variety of beef cuts with their distinctive characteristics. Some tend to the fatty side, some tend to the leaner side. So If you chose to visit us again, please don´t hesitate to ask our staff the description of our different cuts so you can find the one that suits your taste better.Regardless of this, your opinion seemed to be good but you reviewed our restaurant as average, so we would love you to give us a second chance in order to improve your overall impression on your next visit and maybe get you to rethink your review .Thank you very much and we hope you visit us again!

Was there for business last week. The food was average and the wait staff was less than average. The setting of the restaurant is very nice with a terrrace overlooking the laguna but unless you have some time, don't bother. It took well over an hour for the food to arrive.

Often I visit the Casa Mexicana. I always enjoy their breakfast food/service in the garden...it's enchanting and the right kind of start for a day in Tapachula (shopping mostly on my trips)...they now serve lunch and dinner and we waited until the last night to dine there...BIG MISTAKE...I believe I would have had several more meals there if I had known exactly how delicious dinner would be (I still want to do lunch on my return visit). THANK YOU for letting me RAVE about Tapachtlan/Casa Mexicana! Len

This place is not a budget restaurant, and being a meat place it has a few options for vegetarians. It could benefit from a more detailed explanation of their dishes before serving them. That said, some of the beef cuttings and ribs were excellent. Baked potato on the side and salsas were very good. The micheladas were prepared according to our specific requests and they didn't mind us sending one back and making it again. Wifi worked great and they let us bring our dog inside. Service was good.

I stopped in wanting seafood and heard this was a good place from some locals. It did not disappoint! They brought out about 14 different salsas to start, which was impressive. (For those not familiar to Mexico... Salsa can refer to any sort of sauce, not just the stuff you eat with chips. Some work well with chips, others were better for the tacos later.) I ordered 2 alacarte tacos first, getting the calamari and the flame cooked shrimp (camaron al pastor). The calamari is not the breaded kind, fyi. Both were amazing and flavorful. I then went with a larger plate and found that I did not understand the menu. Most of the plates are designed to essentially build your own tacos. You can get half orders to try more things. Bring a group and you can sample more dishes. I went with the Poseidon, which is shrimp, calamari, onion, pepper, cheese and bacon! I asked for flour tortillas, which were the best I have had in all of Mexico. The food was an amazing creation, one of the better meals I have had in Mexico. Prices were reasonable for what you get and service was ok. Relaxed atmosphere, TVs to watch the game and live music some nights. I came in with high expectations which were exceeded! Highly RecommendedWe really appreciate your comment... and we are really happy to you enjoyed Restacorante El Mitote, thanks for your visit and come back soon
