Description:
La Parroquia is a Campeche institution, open 24 hours daily serving the region's take on Mexican food. La Parroquia is the kind of place travelers look for when they want to dine with locals and eat what they eat. It's very convenient, situated only half a block from the Cathedral on the Main Square, with one large noisy room open to Calle 59 containing about 20 tables. There's a reasonable fixed price lunch but many specialties fill the menu, like tamal of chicken and pork wrapped in a banana leaf (MX$36/US$3.60). The tangy sopa de lima (chicken soup flavored with lime) is a great start to any meal (MX$40/US$4). The family that owns La Parroquia also runs Hostal La Parroquia next door (If you stay there you get a discount at the restaurant.), higher-end Marganzo restaurant across from Puerta del Mar, and Sole nightclub, located on Campeche's seaside boulevard, the Malecon.
