 mmmm Enchiladas mmmm by madamx
As the name of the restaurant implies, tamales are the specialty, as well as Atole, which is a hot Mexican drink made with basically cornstarch and flavoring, such as chocolate. There are about 20 different tamales on the menu, plus other dishes such as enchiladas and the like.
My husband had the enchiladas, which were very good, and I tried the tamales, which are wrapped in banana leaves, typical of southern locales in Mexico. One was Oaxacan pork in red sauce, and the other was chicken in red sauce, which came with a whole chicken leg steamed in it. Both were fantastic. Portions are huge, and you can easily fill yourself up for about $5.00 US.
The only disappointment was the totopos (tortilla chips) that came with our salsas; they seemed old and plasticky. This restaurant is very good value, and the staff are friendly and accomodating.
Any's serves breakfast as well and are open from 9 am to 11 pm; they also have a Pozole fiesta night with folkloric dancing (Pozole is a traditional corn hominy and meat stew which is served on Thursdays) every Thursday night and reservations must be made.

 Green Chorizo by madamx
Service is quick and cheerful, with the waiters speaking fairly good English, if you need it. All the veggies here are purified, so if you have a hankering for a big salad, this is the place to have one.
Stopping by for a light lunch, we went along with Rick's recommendation for a selection of green chorizo, chicken, and shrimp quesidillas. They were served with a very fresh salad of iceberg lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and sprouts, plus some salsas and chips. The green chorizo is nicely spiced and delicious. I don't usually go for iceberg lettuce, but at this point, missing my almost daily salads, it went down very well, covered in creamy cucumber dressing.
The quesidillas were very well prepared, but not outstanding. Overall, we can't complain about Cha Cha Cha's and would recommend it to others for a good meal. Leave a Comment

 Sunset from Amuleto by madamx
One word: bring a little flashlight. My only complaint is the area is very poorly lit and you can barely see your food. The staff will provide a flashlight, but will sneak it away if someone else needs it.
The menu was designed last year by a visiting French chef, which is evident in the heavy sauces; however, Mexican and local ingredients are cleverly incorporated in each dish. I would describe the meals there as very good, but not on par with a high-end restaurant in New York or San Francisco, maybe a notch lower.
You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, the only thing I don't recommend is the Dorado. Plus, they will make anything without the sauces, which I found too much for the hot weather. Make sure to have the salad and seared tuna appetizer; we ate it almost every day and it is sublime. The local tuna is fresh daily and marinated in lime juice, olive oil, and other spices, then quickly seared. The filet of beef is a sure bet, but ask for it without the too-rich brie sauce. They do cook it on the rare side, so if you want it medium rare, order it medium. The beef is all angus AAA imported from the US.
For lunch, the shrimp tacos will send you over the moon; fresh shrimp in a light red sauce that is served over hand-made corn tortillas. I could eat those morning, noon and night.
And for those who like their alcohol, the drinks from the bar are very potent.

 Tarascan bean soup by madamx
The wait staff have very little english, and the menu is in Spanish, but if you have a good travel dictionary/phrasebook, you shouldn't have a problem. Service was fairly speedy and polite.
You must try the traditional Tarascan bean soup. A recipe used since ancient times, it has great flavor, with avocado and tortilla chips floating in it. We were recommended trying the local grilled cheese, Queso Asada, which you eat wrapped in tortillas, but we found the texture to be like extra firm tofu, and very salty, not something we enjoyed.
Our entrees were done very well; I had a Chicken Mole dish, which was very delicious, and hubby had the steak platter. Traditional steak in Mexico is sliced very thin and grilled, not like the thick juicy steaks we are used to. It was a little tough, but flavorful. It came with salad and we were assured by a local that the salads at the restaurant are very safe.

Gayo usually hangs out there. Get him a taco, a beer or just be friendly to his little scrawny dog and he'll be your guide or friend there. He is a Huichol Indian born in Sierra Madre, schooled in PV. I suppose schooling reflected on on further developments of Gayo's life: he speaks fairly good English when sober and when not quite sober he tries to guide you through the imagery of Huichol thinking where all is magic. Gayo does not ask for anything - he's happy to keep you company. He's also a key to the local establishment...

Of the two restaurants I've listed I like Pepe's the best for its good food and colorful atmosphere. The owner is an artist and displays his colorful, Dali-esque art on the walls of his restaurant.
I have been stopping off at these restaurants for years and I always make it for breakfast. Try any of their traditional Mexican breakfast plates which will surely quell your hunger after the long drive from the US.
