cedros Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 A new restaurant has just opened in the Raquet Club-Las Caballerizas. It is owned by the same doctor who owns the Monte Coxala Spa and is just down the street from the Spa. It is on the site of his stables (caballerizas). It is a large (300 seat) restaurant with a view of the lake from Jocotopec all the way east down the lake. The menu is quite Mexican-campestre style. The meat (lamb, pork chicken, etc.) is cooked on a stake in an open pit. An interesting place but I thought it was a bit pricey. If you haven't tried his other restaurant at the Spa you are missing something. It has, without doubt, the most spectacular setting of any restaurant on the whole lake. The food is good-sort of international and reasonably priced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
