We had a lovely dinner here after a long day of climbing with Southern Xposure Climbing. I wish I had pics of the food, but I was so hungry that I devoured it seemingly in seconds! So here is a pic of the owner of El Rincon and the owner of Southern Xposure. Old friends who were a delight to watch interact. I had the salmon con salsa de mango which came with a nice side serving of vegetables and potato puree (softer than mashed potatoes). For dessert, I requested jericalla (similar to flan but slightly different flavor and consistency) and Fernando, the owner, was excited to tell me that he serves the only jericalla in Aculco. The location is on the square on the second floor. Don’t miss this fabulous restaurant when in Aculco!
Good place to eat
The arrachera was delicious... Wait staff was excellent....
Lot of seating upstairs. A bit on the expensive side and small portions but the food was tasty and great location right on the main plaza. Nice view of the church too from the handwash area. The empanadas were delicious , so also the tortilla soup. The vegetarian hamburger and fries were good too.
Try the Portobello burger!
Very tasty food and cozy place.
Excellent experience. Mary was very friendly and very attentive. Just what we were looking for in a beautiful small pueblo to visit.
Aculco is well known as a magic town. This restaurant has a lot of options for breakfast, for the meal, or just for taking a coffee.
