Pre-Hispanic cacao is treated with artisanal respect at this pleasant outdoor plaza. The Mexican fermented hot chocolate has a deep, textured flavour. Choose water-based drinks for an authentic (as it was here thousands of years ago), yet creamy taste, and you can ask for half-sweet or a touch of chilli.
The chocolate, mango and fig fruit salad and tarts are out of this world too. Or try mole tamales (steamed corn mass in a spiced cacao sauce) or chalupas of mini tortillas with chapulines (grasshoppers) for a savoury option. Pick up beautiful packaged chocolates as gifts... even if for yourself.
