Mazamitla

Where's the best place to eat there? Prefer a nice place w/a view & clean. Open for suggestions.

Not a lot of views unless you mean of the plaza. Didn't check upstairs plaza restaurants. We found good food along the highway north of town in attractive settings. Maybe some mountain top resort in the area?

If you go and read my report on Mazamitla from April you will see a great place to eat.......

Link?

The drive is 100 times more beautiful this time of year...it's so green and lush! Switzerland or Mexico? I've never heard that before. I suppose El Charco was on the main road, no?

One year we road our mountain bikes there, after the rainy season, and we did go to a small waterfall inside a sort of cabin subdivision. I don't remember hiking too much, in fact, don't think we did because we didn't want to leave our bikes unchained. That's not the same place that some say is a 4 mile hike, right, or is it?

Yes El Charco is just to the left at the main intersection when you first hit town.

We went a couple of weeks ago and ate at el troje, excellent arrachera. Turn left at the main traffic light.

Thank you for the recommendation! La Troje? Is it also a hotel?

Ooop's still on my first coffee. It is La Troje and it is also a hotel. BTW if you go fairly early, as in 1 or 1:30 it won't be crowded. After 2 on a weekend it gets pretty busy. I didn't have any, but the desserts looked really good.

Did you walk to the waterfall? This one: http://www.cabanasenmazamitla.com/cascada_el_salto.html

My husband says we did hike to it & wasn't very pretty. Said it was a poop fall, lol I think it was the end of the rainy season and was a drizzle. I hope it's nice this time of year. :)

Actually we didn't, just toured the town and had comida fairly early. It is a beautiful drive and the new road is fantastic. The trip is way better than Tapalpa which we went to in December.

UGH! I got so distracted with La Troje that I forgot about El Charco!!!! We enjoyed the food at La Troje!!!! But next trip am really anxious to try El Charco and enjoy the view!!!! :)
