Ostionería El Rinconcito

Tapachula


Take a taxi to this popular, cheap and cheerful seafood spot and try to choose between the 17 different shrimp dishes, a freshly cooked róbalo (snook) and the in-season langosta (lobster). Weekend lunches are prime time, when an organ serenades diners with ranchera, cumbia and romántica. Kids will love the pufferf­ish dangling from the ceiling and the trampoline.
