This smart establishment in the folds of the mountains is surrounded by ponds and bridges. Among the delicious concoctions are chili jaral (ancho chili stuffed with shredded beef and raisins) and lamb in zucchini sauce. You can dine in the pink, high-ceiling dining room overlooking the trees and river or alfresco. A lone guitar player adds to the character weekend lunchtimes.

You'll need to call two or three days in advance to reserve a nice seat—with a view of the pyramid—for the weekend. The rest of the tables at this casual restaurant are centered around a partially open patio. A varied menu includes chicken breast stuffed with huitlacoche, an exquisite inky fungus that grows on corn, and spicy shrimp tacos. There is a place for children to play on weekends.

One of the best restaurants in Mexico is in the sleepy town of Apizaco, in Tlaxcala state, a quick 20 km (12 miles) from the capital city of Tlaxcala. Opened in 2011, Evoka shows that Mexico's gastronomic revolution, which celebrates local ingredients, small producers, and traditional techniques, isn't limited to the big cities. With a simply elegant dining room, impeccable service, and a clientele largely consisting of in-the-know foodies from Puebla and Mexico City, Evoka could be the hottest restaurant anywhere, but could only exist in the Valle de Tlaxcala, from where its ingredients, and chef-owner Francisco Molina, come. The tasting menu is a must, where you might find aged rib eye in a mole sauce of huitlacoche (corn fungus) and amaranth with plantain dumplings, or a salad of tiny wild tomatoes and local cheese with powdered, root-beer-like hoja santa herb shaken table-side over the top.

Founded in 1965, this shrine to la comida poblana has four branches in Puebla, and has expanded throughout Mexico. Two of the Puebla branches have great locations in the center of town. The original, near the zócalo, is cozier, but the larger at Paseo Bravo still manages a nice colonial aura. The food consists of mole, mole, and more mole, but you can also get nopal (prickly-pear leaf) salad, sopa de medula (marrowbone soup), and other hearty regional fare. There's another branch at Calle 3 Poniente 920.

In a low stone building on a tree-lined street, this unassuming café is overlooked by most travelers but is always packed with locals. The series of small dining rooms means it won't be hard to find a quiet table. The delicious traditional fare includes such dishes as chicken broth with creamy avocados and strips of cactus flambéed with bits of onion and chilies. Ask your waiter if there's caldo de habas, a bean soup with strips of cactus; it's something of a local specialty, and is quite tasty. Open until 8 pm, and quiet after 6, it's best for breakfast and lunch.

A stone's throw from the Gran Pirámide, this little eatery, opened in 1939, has bumped up its prices a bit, but it's still a good place to cool off after a sweltering afternoon in the archaeological zone. It's welcoming and cluttered with bric-a-brac. The specialty is acamayas, a kind of crayfish. Also available are chilaquiles, milk shakes, an array of tortas, various types of mole, and meat dishes.

You can gaze out over the lake and the town's red rooftops at the Michoacana, which is just a short walk from the zócalo. It's one of the town's best sources of regional fare and a great place for a family meal—and open from 9 am to 11 pm 365 days a year. You can't go wrong here—all the typical Mexican plates you'll recognize are available, but the house specialties include a terrific chamorro (lamb shank) and pre-Hispanic dishes that you won't find everywhere else, such as chapulines con cebolla y chili de arbol (toasted grasshoppers with onion and a spicy red chili sauce), and escamoles a la mantequilla (ant eggs lightly fried in butter).

This restaurant's setting—an elegant 16th-century hacienda at the edge of town—is matched by its fine cuisine. If you're not sure about mole, give it a try here: the same woman has been making it since 1982, and her seductive, fruity blend will probably win you over. Romantics should book in advance for a private dinner in the French Room. After dining, you can request a tour of the fabulous premises.

Hung with colorful papeles picados (paper cutouts), this family-friendly restaurant serves great bean soups, stuffed chilies, and grilled meats made in an open kitchen. Special dishes include huauzontles (a broccoli-like vegetable you scrape from the stalk with your teeth). Note that the restaurant closes at 9 pm during the week; weekends it's open until 10 or until the crowd leaves.

This budget eatery to the side of the portales on the zócalo is a favorite for fresh local fare. The menu includes tacos, flautas (tortillas rolled into tubes and deep-fried), and pozole (flavorful hominy soup with pork or chicken). The especialidades section includes meat-heavy combination plates that are an exceptional value for under $10. The place stays open until around midnight.

This longtime favorite is the place for a tasty traditional meal. The interior decoration is typical Puebla—complete with tile floors, colorful murals, and a newspaper stand inside—as is the menu. The mole is as traditional as it comes, and the sopa poblana (a cream soup with poblano chilies, mushrooms, and corn) is exceptional. This is also a great place to enjoy grilled meat.

Moyuelo does a welcome, contemporary take on the cemita, Puebla's version of the classic Mexican torta sandwich. The arrachera (thin steak) comes with a peanut-guajillo chili salsa; the chilaquiles (tortilla chips in salsa) are garnished with watercress in avocado oil. The usually basic milanesa (breaded pork loin) has a Parmesan-garlic breading and artisanal cheese from the nearby town of Chipilo. Terrific soups and salads round out the menu. The stylish decor and hip crowd is a rarity in the overwhelmingly conservative atmosphere of Puebla.

Simple but smart, Los Jarrones ("The Pitchers") welcomes diners with long wooden tables, comfy cushioned chairs, and white walls accented with green tiles. Starters include onion and garlic soup; the parrillada (a variety of grilled meats) is a popular option for sharing. A weekend breakfast buffet is served 9:30 to 1. Live music at night is loud but pleasant.

The marvelous view of the Palacio de Cortés helped make this restaurant a big hit among the foreigners in town. The menu mixes Mexican and international foods; you might try the filetón hidalgo (breaded veal stuffed with Serrano ham and manchego cheese) or the tacos con nopales (tacos stuffed with grilled cactus). A jazz band plays on Saturday night. Reservations are recommended on weekends—request a table on the small balcony for a great view of the Palacio just across the street.

This cavelike restaurant might only be open on Friday and Saturday, but it has unforgettable regional cuisine and a fun atmosphere with live music. Even simple items like the salsas and frijoles (black beans) are intensely flavored. There's an exquisite sopa de setas (soup of oyster mushrooms), or you could try the signature dish, enchiladas de picadillo con mole de olla (ground beef and raisin enchiladas with a savory local mole).

Just above the market, with a view of the main plaza, this plant-filled restaurant makes delicious regional cuisine served by a friendly staff. The envueltos de mole (chicken-filled tortillas covered in a thick, smoky mole sauce) are an excellent choice if you want to take a break from walking around the market and enjoy a snack. There is often live traditional music at lunchtime.

This chic restaurant has a startling view over the barranca. For those longing for something fresh and green, the salad of almonds and Roquefort cheese over mixed greens is a treat. A favorite main dish is the pollo pancha, a chicken breast filled with mozzarella and spinach in a semisweet orange sauce. Reservations are recommended on weekends.

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.

If you want seafood, skip the floating restaurants at the dock (where the food leaves much to be desired and locals say you will likely walk away with a stomachache) and head to Los Veleros, a cozy family restaurant in an old mansion just a block away, which has one of the biggest seafood selections in the region. Sit out on the terrace overlooking the splendid garden as you enjoy your meal. It's open on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, until midnight or later, depending on how many customers are still around.
