Frommer's Recommended

My favorite way to enjoy a good meal in Mexico is to have it in an elegant colonial courtyard. I love the contrast between the bright, noisy street and the cool, shaded patio. This restaurant is in the former convent of Santa Teresa de Jesús. While you enjoy the stone arches and gurgling fountain, little crisp tacos and homemade bread appear at the table. For main courses, try the shrimp al tequila, or perhaps the chiles en nogada if it's the season. Traditional mole poblano is also on the menu. Thursday to Saturday musicians perform from 3 to 5pm and 9 to 11pm.
