Uuhh fantástico! El restaurante es muy bonito, la atención es fenomenal. Comí la sopa de jitomate y el pollo como plato fuerte y quedo fascinada. Es comida realmente chiapaneca, tienes que probar este lugar en tu visita por san Cristóbal de las Casas

La comida es extraordinaria. Las bebidas deliciosas. El sobarte de chocolate excelso. Un excelente cierre de nuestra estadía en San Cristóbal de las Casas

Todo riquísimo, comida inmejorable, cuando vuelva por San Cristóbal será visita segura. Servicio estupendo, local y ambiente precioso y la comida un gozo para los sentidos y el paladar. Merece mucho la pena y su precio, aunque costoso, se justifica plenamente. 100% recomendable.

Espectacular sitio y comida. La atención. Impecable recomendándonos todos los platos y acertando de pleno. Hasta el postre y las bebidas fueron muy buenas. Sin duda nuestra mejor comida hasta l fecha en Mexico. ¡Ojalá volver!

Estuvimos en la cena de año nuevo y la organización fue excelente, así como la variedad de platillos que se ofrecieron. Lo mejor fue la sopa de calabaza con jocoque y nuez de macadamia, también el mouse de chocolate con caramelo fue una delicia. El sitio es muy acogedor y había buena música en vivo. Lo único es que el servicio no era el más amable, tal vez porque el lugar estaba lleno.

Es el mejor restaurante de San Cristóbal Nosotros probamos el menú degustación de 9 tiempos y es toda una experiencia ya que la comida es exquisita pero la explicación de cada platillo por parte de Carlos genera que se disfrute más la comida, la bebida y la convivencia. ¡Tienen que visitarlo a cómo de lugar !

Una experiencia excelente. Platillos muy bien preparados, sabores auténticos y de gran calidad. Todo se nota hecho con cuidado y respeto por la cocina local. El ambiente es muy agradable y el servicio atento y profesional. Un lugar totalmente recomendable para disfrutar con calma.

An exceptional experience from start to finish. The service was warm and attentive, the ambiance inviting and refined, and every dish showed incredible attention to detail. The ingredients were outstanding, and the menu featured regional specialties I never eaten (you have to try the Chamorro !!) It felt like dining at a Michelin-star restaurant in New York City, but rooted in local ingredients and a strong sense of place. If you’re in San Cristóbal and don’t eat here, you’re missing one of the best restaurants in Mexico.

Excellent small selection of very tasty local recipes. I particularly liked the red Guatemalan wine, which went very well with the quesadillas tierra y fuego. The service was impeccable, they also provided shawls as it’s quite cold inside, come prepared. And the tortillas were divine!

Really beautiful display with authentic ingredients and a rustic and contemporary combination that is appealing to the eyes and the taste buds.

This restaurant is undoubtedly one of the finest dining spots in the city and arguably among the best in all of Mexico -a must if you want a culinary experience that takes you through truly local ingredients and dishes in a nice setting. It’s located in a typical, charming colonial house with a variety of seating areas, a sophisticated decor and dim lights in the evening for a refined atmosphere. I particularly liked the area with bookshelves lining an entire wall. The restaurant has both a seasonal menu (a la carte) and a tasting one that comes with different pairing options: aguas frescas, craft beer or wine. To enjoy the latter, you need to budget around 3 hours and 1,900 pesos. I tried the seasonal menu. The mole coleto with prawn was exquisite and I do recommend it. The mole, with its rich combination of cacao, almond, and chile, provided a complex yet harmonious flavour profile that paired wonderfully with the delicate saltiness of the prawns. It could also be prepared with chicken. For those unfamiliar with mole, the dish has a quite unique, intense taste, so I recommend approaching it with an open mind - it’s a bold choice and one that will likely surprise your palate. Coleto means from San Cristobal. My dessert was the classic crème brûlée with orange on top, and it was everything you want in a perfect one: creamy but not heavy with a thin caramelized crunch on top, with the orange bringing freshness and balance. The service is impeccable, and the staff were prompt and courteous. It all left me eager to go back!

Lovely experience, the wait staff was incredibly warm, took their time to explain the origin and significance of the ingredients, and made our visit very special. They happened to be out of our first choice desert that night so we went with the nieve de calabaza and it was INCREDIBLE - just goes to show you can't really go wrong with their menu, there is something delicious for everyone here. One of my colleagues is a vegetarian and she really enjoyed the meal as well. Highly recommend while you're in San Cristobal

Yes we’ve seen review from others but this was amazing. From stuff service to dishes of presentation. If we had stopped more earlier would have done course menu of something like 10 dishes, but we choose to select. Later in the week we almost went back to this location just seen what they may have offered for the option of course menu but we couldn’t fit in our plan.

My best culinary experience in Mexico. A fine dining proposition, but without pretention, fully local and original. I had the mole and it was divine, different from the usual rustic mole served in Puebla. Eventually I found a very well cooked chicken in Mexico. The desert was very good too. Impressive! This place should be on the list of any food amateur, and is a real chance to experience fine dining at an affordable price! (for westerners unfortunately).

We had a wonderful meal here, truly excellent food and lovely service. We were a group of six and tried many dishes and everything was very good, and a few were sublime. One of my favorite dining experiences in Mexico.

Chelsea Lahmers

This is the best restaurant I’ve experienced in Mexico. Better than Pujol, better than anything in Oaxaca. There should be a line out of the door…but I’m glad there wasn’t, as the two of us waltzed in at 3pm and had our best meal of the year. Beef rib tacos easily the best tacos we’ve ever eaten, and the pumpkin seed aguachile is a flavor explosion. Incredible service from Alfredo. beautiful cocktails. It’s so nice to get haute cuisine with the stuffy service that usually comes with it—I felt so at home. We’re going back tomorrow, that much is certain!!

This was my best meal in San Cristobal without a doubt. It was gourmet level food and used many of the local ingredients to accomplish this. From the beet and carrot chalupa, tortillas from 3 different grains, to the chicken mole with plantain and cheese to the chocolate tamal with fruit purée and flowers. It was excellent and the service was too. Although it was smaller portions I was not able to finish the chocolate tamal. It was really filling. I also had a Mexican wine. I could not believe the price was $25USD for total. This is a great value for the quality. I know that is expensive in comparison in this area but it is well worth the price.

Probably the best restaurant I have been to during my visit to Mexico. Great interpretation of the Mexican cuisine with modern touches that will make you feel a superb culinary experience. We ordered the seasonal menu, which is composed of: starters + two main dishes (to choose between 3 options) + dessert. Do not miss the 'Gordita de Chamorro', your would be avoiding the best dish on my opinion. Great service too. 5 stars to chef Marta Cepeda & team

This was the best food experience I had in San Cristobal. Given the price, location, ambience, staff and of course the food quality, I can say without hesitation that this is among the best restaurants in Mexico. If you are a foodie, this is a MUST in San Cristobal.

Great representation of mexican food. A modern and restrained presentation of tipical Chiapas dishes. We absolutely loved the Lechon! The Tacos de Costilla were also really good. Best restaurant in San Cristobal and one of our favorites in México. Don’t miss it!!

This is one of the nicest restaurants I have eaten at in Mexico. The food quality and presentation rivals the best places you will find in Mexico City or any other major global city. However, keep in mind this really is fine dining. The tasting menu is a wonderful sampling of what Chiapas has to offer (I recommend it), but it will be prepared in a sophisticated way which is different from what you would expect at more local restaurants or at a market. The experience is worth it. A final note, I ordered their tasting menu with the “aguas regionales”. This was awesome. While they do have other options to pair the food with local beers or wines, I thought the experience of trying so many regional aguas frescas to be amazing. They are delicious and unique. Not the same drinks you find in other parts of Mexico.

One of my favorite restaurants in San Cris. Impeccable service and food was creative and delicious. Was my first time to see mixed blue and yellow tortilla. They provided amuse bouche and also gave us shot of pox/posh for free. The pan de muerto was made to order so it was the best I ever had. We also worked here for a bit; wifi was decent when we went. Pleasant and elegant ambience; definitely must-try place while you’re here

Must go place in St. Cristóbal! Martha and her husband gave us great recommendations. They are passionate about food and they care about the qualities!! Every single dishes/drinks are highly unique but all inspired by local history and ingredients. We had breakfast here and came back for lunch on the same day. We have been in many Michelin restaurants in Aisia and Europe. This one is as good as those world class ones! And they won many national awards already!!

This restaurant should be in all the tourists must-go lists. Place is vegan friendly and pet-friendly. The dishes are elaborated out of local Chiapas ingredients and each one has a special twist that makes it look and taste special, even when it's an "ordinary" dish as Quesadillas. The display of the food on each plate is gourmet-restaurant level and the taste matches. The service is great (tho we were the only customers at the time of the meal so we can't really tell). Covid-19 related: all the waitresses wear masks and plastic face protection, and the tables are located with distance from one another.

I am genuinely sad that I've only had a chance to visit this place once as I was visiting San Cristóbal for a short holiday. Tierra y Cielo blew my mind. Everything is amazing. They pay great attention to all details, from the design to the food. Everything is top notch quality, made with the best and freshest ingredients, marrying traditional Mexican cusine from Chiapas with contemporary trends in a way that feels authentic and innovative. If I had to recommend a single place to visit while on San Cristobal, this is the one. I haven't visited all the restaurants in town but I wouldn't be surprised that this is the best. One of the things that surprised me the most is that, while Mexican cusine in general relies a lot on meat, Tierra y Cielo has many delicious offerings for vegetarians. I was delighted to find that the menu shows you which dishes are vegetarian or vegan. Service is excellent and the prices aren't expensive for international standards. Can't stress enough that this place is a must for every food loving turist visiting Chiapas.

The tasting menu at Tierra y Cielo was outstanding. A great introduction to both Chiapaneca and haute cuisines. Every bite was unique and carefully crafted by the staff. I would recommend this experience to anyone anywhere in the world. The colonial residence where the restaurant is located is reminiscent of calm, warm, and safe times with family. The waiters were great, going beyond just listing the ingredients, but also taking time to explain the food and its ties to the region. The tasting menu is very filling and the price excellent. The juice pairing was a journey of its own, and I think "aguas" doesn't highlight the richness of the compositions well enough. The juices didn't seem chosen to match the associated entrees, but that's only a minor complain and it didn't affect the joy of the meal.

En general me gustó. Reservamos para mi cena de cumpleaños. Carta variada gracias a la chef ejecutiva! Recomiendo la picaña, la costra de queso, las costillitas, las quesadillas y el pox. Un lugar romántico. Atención profesional. Checa bien la cuenta, encontramos un error, pero a veces pasa. Creo que aquí lo que vale la pena, más que nada, es el ambiente.

La comida en general es original respecto a su presentación sin embargo respecto al sabor aún le hace falta un poco. La atención estuvo bastante bien y ponen de vez en cuando música en vivo. El lugar es muy lindo y muy tranquilo

As a Mexa-German couple that have tried various Michelin star restaurants across Mexico and Europe we can say that you can experience an authentic Mexican menu. We had the “menu de degustación”, with the beer + wine maridaje. The lechón and dessert (pepitas acarameladas, Ataúlfo mango and kefir sorbet) were amazing and unique however we found some of the dishes were lacking balance such as the Aguachile (too much lime), chicken and mole (could’ve been improved by choosing other parts of the chicken), and the tamal was dry. We loved the atmosphere and variety of dishes, however for the price, those 3 dishes could’ve been a lot better. If you’re in San Cris it is a good experience to have if you’re willing to spend an abundant amount of money (harsh but true). The service was great but the sommelier lacks knowledge in regards to the international (non-mexican) drinks served. It was a nice experience, but you do end up thinking of it’s worth the price, especially in San Cris where you have very good culinary alternatives for cheaper prices.

Restaurante de autor. Carta no muy extensa en platos fuertes. Te reciben con aperitivos del chef. En la cena yo probé el lechón (un plato totalmente recomendable por el punto que le dan a la carne) y una sopa la cual no me transmitió quizás lo que yo esperaba aún así me gustó. De postre el Creme Brulee no lo recomiendo. Buen ambiente y sobresaliente servicio
