La Casa de Tere

La Casa de Tere (short for Teresa) is a traditional Mexican restaurant in the Golden Zone, near Parque Papagayo. First time guests may be put to a little bit of effort to find the place, but it's well worth it. This is a neat and inviting terrace restaurant surrounded with smooth pink walls, and tucked away in the shopping district just off Cristóbal Colón, the street parallel to the Costera behind the Gran Plaza. The tables are long, providing family-style seating. The whole dining area is brightly decorated in Mexican colors and objects. There is a little fountain in the middle. Be sure to check out the photos of Acapulco from the old days. The kitchen of La Casa de Tere provides really tasty examples of all the traditional Mexican dishes, from soups to salads, main dishes and deserts. Try the mole (a dark, spicey and flavored sauce made from chilis) or the steak tampiqueña, the pozole (an Acapulco tradition), or any of the many other dishes on the menu. Guests often are treated to live Mexican music while they dine.
