Casa Vieja

Casa Vieja Review

Whether you're having a meal or an evening cocktail, try to snag a table on this eatery's outdoor balcony for a fabulous view over Campeche's main plaza. You wouldn't know it from the tiny entrance on the main plaza, but the interior is large and inviting, and the brightly painted walls are crammed with eclectic art. The menu displays a rich sampling of Mexican dishes including coconut shrimp; chicken fajitas; cochinita pibil (a slow-roasted pork dish); and pan de cazón (shreaded fish with black beans and tortillas). In addition to pastas, salads, and regional food, you'll find a good selection of aperitifs and digestifs. The view (not the service) is the main draw. To get here, look for the narrow stairway on the plaza's east side. They're open from 8 am until midnight.
