Rancho Grill

Whilst on a 2 week cruise through the Panama Canal, this was the only port of call we did not book a shore excursion. We docked at Puerto Chipas which is a specialty built dock for cruise ships which we toured in all of 15 minutes. Decided to grab a shuttle bus in Tapachula to see what we could see. Unescorted and stumbling over the language off we went. We were dropped off at the Museo Arqueologico del Soconusco which is across the street from the Parque Central Miguel Hidalgo. Both the museum and the park were packed. If was some kind of festival? We were wandering around the south end of the park when a handsomely dressed Mexican gentleman approached and with broken English and Spanish introduced himself as the owner of the restaurant we were standing in front of gathering our thoughts and bearings and invited us in to enjoy his hospitality. It was hot and we here both hungry and thirsty and at first we both hesitated but decided it was too good to turn down. There appeared to be 4 or 5 little restaurants all n a row . The food was fantastic and the service equal.
