It has become the favorite of many when choosing a place to dine as it is a taqueria that offers a wide variety of tacos including vegetarian options, without leaving aside the classic gringas, quesadillas and even enfrijoladas. Our recommendation It is the shepherd's cake and the melted cheese, a true delight. Ubicación calle 18 entre 7 y 9.


This taqueria has been in operation for more than 30 years. Known by every local, and loved by many. Their sopes, tacos, empanadas, roast beef orders at a super price.

The best chilaquiles in Bacalar are found in Tortichil. Attended by its owner Laura, offering a pleasant attention, you will feel at home. Our recommendation is the red chilaquiles with chicken, but be careful because they are spicy! Ubicados en la calle 10 entre Av. 3 y Av. 5.
