Las Tinajas is a friendly, family-oriented restaurant that attracts mostly Mexican customers. It’s nicely decorated and is surrounded by large windows and a balcony meaning the place is very airy. I had read about the very large portions, so my daughter and I ordered a cream soup each and shared a main dish. Even that was difficult to finish as... More

In a town that is reputed to have few good places to eat, this place is a find. The guacamole and salsa are both delicious, and their signature dish, chicken verracruzana was interesting and well-prepared. The portions are colossal, and while not cheap by local standards, it is a good deal.

But very tasty it was, as were the chicken enchiladas verde and rojo. The rojo were supposed... More

I enjoyed both the mole enchiladas, a bit sweeter than I am accustomed to, but delicious and the steak tampiqueno. The steak platter involves a good portion of well marinated and nicely... More

Ate here tonight with my wife and baby. Attentive staff, even came with a towel to clean up our baby's water throwing activities. Usual wide selection menu of a mix of Mexican & Italian fare but what is unusual was the shear size of portions!!! Great value
