Nonantzin

Nonantzin is a small, casual restaurant inside Tepoztlan's food market specializing in pre-Hispanic Mexican dishes, a rarer focus than the antojito stands typical of most markets. Tlacoyos, quesadillas de huitlacoche and, seasonally, escamoles are the kitchen's signature offerings, drawing on pre-colonial ingredients and preparation methods still practiced in the region. Seating is simple market-stall style, with shared tables and counter seats set among the market's other food vendors; the atmosphere is informal, busy and unpretentious, with no dress code. Drinks are limited to aguas frescas and coffee rather than a bar program. As a market stall, reservations do not apply, though the restaurant keeps unusual hours, closing Thursdays and running shorter midweek, so checking the schedule before visiting is worthwhile.
