Catemaco Restaurants
As most cities anywhere, Catemaco feed its citizens well rounded economic meals, primarily
during the former siesta hour, between 1 and 4 in the afternoon.
Dozens of restaurants and food shacks vie for attention throughout the city and most serve
interchangeable menus. Aside from that there are taco, torta and hot dog vendors, primarily in
the evening.
The "best food" category is still open to speculation. The prettiest place to eat is La Casona, an
antique home with a dilapidated exterior, on the downhill side of the basilica.
