Costalegre, a long stretch of coastal zones, coconut plantations, sugar cane fields and fruit orchards, is an area that is rich in natural resources, making the local cuisine varied yet complete. Being close to the sea is a great advantage for seafood, prepared by experienced Mexican chefs.
The exotic fruit found in the area have been the source of inspiration and the material of choice for refreshing drinks and delicious sweets. The drinks include "pulque" (fermented maguey pulp), "tepache" (fermented pineapple or apple juice) and "ponche" (a steaming fruit infusion with different spices). For those with a sweet tooth, you can also find coconut candy and quince jellies.
