Restaurant Las Tinajas

Palenque


It doesn’t take long to figure out why this place is always busy. It slings enormous portions of excellent home-style food – enough to keep you fueled up for hours. Pollo a la veracruzana (chicken in a tomato, olive and onion sauce) and camarones al guajillo (shrimp with a not-too-hot type of chili) are both delicious, as is the house salsa.
