The service was also spectacular thanks to our server Jose Martinez. The restaurant itself is part of a resort/spa and therefore serves as an extension of it. Consisting of quaint and cozy interior decorations reminiscent of a Spanish Villa, an air of finesse exudes from here. The food itself is nothing short of breathtaking. Not only in culinary presentation, but also in rich and exquisite flavors. For our party's appetizers, we had a plate of duck tacos with an extremely spicy habanero sauce and a "salpicón tuxtleco" which was a sort of raw meat plate marinated in lemon and green apples. The salpicón was especially unique. For my entree I had a "risotto chicoasen" which was very flavorful and was colored with octopus ink and topped with several pieces of varying seafood such as octopus and calamari. If you happen to be in San Cristobal, make sure to make a stop here for extremely cultural dishes which manage to remain both affordable and sensible.

El Fogon de Jovel serves a lot of dishes that are vegetarian or can be made that way. They have…read moresalads that include vegetarian protein i.e. beans, without cheese, that you don't have to negotiate with the waiter in order to "veganize". The Ensalada de Fogon or the Ensalada Verde (green salad) are vegan, and if you're in a group you can definitely partake in the chips and salsa or guac consumption because all of that is vegan and very satisfactory. The prices are higher than that of other restaurants or food carts in the area, but if you want to assure that your food is actually vegan and don't mind the slightly higher price tag...try this restaurant.
