Inside the pink exterior of this buzzing restaurant, the hearty traditional Mexican fare bubbles away in cazuelas (clay pots) – try the regional chiles rellenos or huauzontle (broccoli-like flower buds). More than the food, eating here is a joy for the piñatas, terrace views, spaciousness and the sense of being at a fiesta at grandma's colorful ranch. Cash only.
