Cocina Económica La Reina

Cocina Económica La Reina, on Calle 5 de Mayo in Zona Luz, is a budget cocina económica offering a daily set-menu comida corrida to a mostly local, working-class clientele. The menu changes daily but typically includes a soup or broth, a main such as puchero de res or frijol con puerco, rice, and agua de chaya, following the classic Mexican comida corrida format of a complete, home-style lunch at a fixed low price. The dining room is basic and utilitarian, with simple tables and quick table turnover; there is no ambiance to speak of beyond the practical, no-frills setting typical of cocinas económicas across Mexico. There is no beverage program beyond aguas frescas and soft drinks. At $, it is one of the least expensive dining options in this guide's Villahermosa selection. Reservations are not applicable; the restaurant operates on a walk-in basis during limited hours, Monday through Saturday from 7AM to 5PM, closing before dinner. Travelers wanting an authentic, inexpensive taste of everyday Mexican lunch culture will find La Reina a genuine, unpolished option.
