Eating and drinking

Finding somewhere to eat in Taxco is no problem: there are several enticing places around the zócalo that are wonderful for watching the world go by. They do tend to be expensive, though, and by sacrificing a little atmosphere you’ll do better along some of the streets that lead away from the centre. All except the cheapest of the hotels have their own dining rooms, and for rock-bottom prices, the market has a section of food stalls, which are better than they look. In the evening everyone gathers around the zócalo to see and be seen, to stroll or to sit outdoors with a coffee or a drink at one of the bars.
