Traditional restaurant serving game meats such as venison, wild boar and rabbit, cooked over charcoal fires.

Cheap eats! Basic antojitos (snacks) such as gorditas, quesadillas, and of course, tlacoyos.

Small craft brewery that really puts the "craft" into brewing. Much better selection of beer styles with fuller flavor spectrum and better craftsmanship than 99% of the U.S. craft breweries. It shows from their beer menu, which features a number of dark ales like a smoked stout that is simply to die for, a perfectly balanced malty porter, and a smooth, light bodies brown ale. A surprise was their "Mezcal Ale" which doesn't have mezcal in it, but has a kiss of sweet agave. Friendly staff who offer tours of the brewing facility and are happy to talk about the brewing process. Sampler boards are available so you can try different beers. Good light finger foods with an emphasis on dishes and tastes of Spanish tapas.
