Restaurante Taniperla: Reviews & Ratings
Some are favorite coffee we found in San Cristóbal. Many of the combinations are on the sweet side, but well balanced for excellent treat. I think cardamon was the best. The food was also great, but for me the highlight was fancy coffee mixtures.
I had the menu del día, a lovely potato and celery soup to start, followed by the best Mole Verde I've had in Mexico. The servers were so friendly and even gave me some of their homemade chili butter to take home. Prices were great too. Would definitely recommend this place!
Amazing authentic experience with local food, very generous service provided by Andres. Sorry, I didn't make pictures of food, we were hungry but be sure it was super delicious
Service by Lorenzo and others was impeccable. Food was outstanding, albeit the mushroom mole was not as expected, but the flavor was still wonderful. The veggie sopes made with camote flour were to die for! Thank you, Taniperla! (P.S. dollars spent is in MXN pesos.)
Please visit this restaurant!! After 2 weeks of not having a proper diner (a Gringo after all ;-), I found this place on Google maps. The food was amazing! I tried the enchiladas rellenas de pollo and the cevice de champignones. Accompanied by a delicious Margarita. It was superb!! It was too much for one person so I asked for a takeaway. No problem! Staff was very friendly and the service was excellent! Didn' t have to wait. This restaurant deserves your visit!
We had a delicious traditional Chiapas dinner of Chiapas cheese, mole, pumpkin, plantains, tortillas and traditional maize-based drinks, next to a pride flag, Zapatista art and a full-moon rising
I had the vegetarian menu del dia and it was all so delicious and incredible value for how much food you get. The second dish with mole was the best food I have had in Mexico so far. Great service too. Highly recommend!!
During my few months in San Cristobal, I was fortunate to try this wonderful restaurant early and it has become a go-to place. Their enchiladas and mole are fantastic; the salads are super fresh and delicious; the bread and hot sauces are excellent; the caldos and tortillas se also great; and they make excellent cocktails and have several varieties of pox and mezcal. The service is top notch, the vibe is chill and the food is fantastic. Highly recommend.
