Shopping & Crafts

A good seafood restaurant. You can be assured the seafood here is fresh. Mr. Beto, the owner, makes sure of that as he tends the restaurant himself and is always there to over see things run well and smooth and that all is fresh and safe. Delicious cocktails and all kinds of dishes with the most fresh fish and shellfish. It has a quaint little garden on the back with several tables. A nice place to have lunch. If you only want drinks it has a special area with a bar just to have drinks.

Hot and fun place to have drinks at night. The decoration is fun and original. The service is good and personal. This is a place to go friday or saturday night to dance, drink and eat and have fun. A nice place to meet people and enjoy a night out on the town. Located only one block from the central plaza of Malinalco it is a must if you like to go out at night.

Las Palomas Restaurant Many factors make this fabulous restaurant a success story. First and most important, its owner, Hortensia de la Fuente (aka Coca), and Paulina Valencia de la Fuente (Coca's daughter who is a fabulous young Mexican Chef). They both brought the traditional family recipes for mexican food to this magical place. Also Paulina has extended the menu with wonderful dishes she has created herself and that are delicate and innovative. The best Margaritas and Cosmopolitans in town are served here. The drinks and the plates are generous. All dishes are prepared individually when you order them to ensure freshness. We highly recommend Las Palomas, we are sure you won't regret it.

Las Palomas can also cater to your home in Malinalco for special ocassions like weddings, baptisms, first communions, or just large lunch or dinner parties. Call Hortensia and she will quote everything you need.
