Gourmet delights have arrived for Toluca's foodies. Creative, exquisite dishes include mole de coco (chicken rolled around garlic shrimp in a coconut sauce), and grilled tuna with a mora (smoked) chili mayonnaise and side of chapulines (grasshoppers). The multiple dining spaces are fit for a gallery and worth looking sharp for.
Chandeliers and vintage gilded mirrors mix with designer chairs and airy high ceilings. Daring breakfasts like beef red-curry crepes and zucchini-flower omelettes are also available. Petra is reason enough to make a stop in central Toluca.
