Cocoliche

Top choice in San Cristóbal de las Casas


By day Cocoliche is a bohemian restaurant with lots of Asian dishes, but in the evening its vintage lanterns and wall of funky posters set the scene for drinking boozy or virgin cocktails with friends. Jostle for a spot near the fireplace on chilly evenings, and check out the nightly jazz, funk and swing music.
