Fodor's Expert Review Gaia Restaurante

In an exquisite old house that once belonged to Mario Moreno, the movie star popularly known as Cantinflas, is one of the most elegant restaurants in Cuernavaca. The chef serves delicious and perfectly presented lunches and dinners, including tasty twists on old Mexican classics like chiles rellenos (peppers stuffed with three cheeses) and duck tacos. The camarones crujientes con coco y nuez (crispy shrimp with coconut and nuts) is also worth a try. A long lunch is served by the pool, which has a mosaic often attributed to Diego Rivera. The restaurant has a great location two blocks from the Palacio de Cortés.
