If you have free time in tapachula head out of town a little to calle miguel hidalgo (the one out near calle semanarista) and check out the crocadile zoo. A quirky little backyard business that houses something like 50 crocs and aligators of various species and sizes. the family that runs it is friendly and as much as seeing the crocs themselves it´s funny to watch small children chase an even smaller puppy around a backyard litteraly packed with ferocius reptiles in various cement and chainlink enclosures. Cost is 25 pesos per person and a cab should cost about 25 pesos each way.

Museo Regional. A small museum that has a collection of Mayan artifacts from the region.

Sr. tango located about five blocks from the main plaza (miguel hidalgo) Sr. tango is an agrentinian steak house that also has bland tasting pizzas and carries a real old school mafia air to the place. Salads are pretty good and the air conditioning is top notch if you need to escape the heat.

[edit] Budget

located just a block and a half from the main plaza in town (miguel Hidalgo), on quinta calle pointe, one of the cheaper places to stay is Hotel Quinta instantly recognizable by it´s astonishingly large sign that says ¨hotel¨ in black and white vertical letters. the lowest budget rooms go for 200 pesos with no televison and no air conditioning. Rooms are a little dirty and toliets have no toliet seats but you cant beat the price in this part of town so sweat it out and stop complaining.
