Favorite Dish: I have been here many times and is really hard to tell you which one is my favority. It is a good idea to read above because there you have the best that they serve.
Do not expect a fancy place because Olocuilta is a small city with lots of poor people but there is a saying that goes like this "The one who comes to Olocuilta, never forgets its people so be careful because you could fall in love" and you could probably never leave this place.
