Right now Doña Rosa’s next door to the B&B is the only full-service restaurant in Macheros. It’s open from 8 AM until 9 PM every day during the butterfly season. We’ve included Rosa’s basic menu below to give you an idea of the fare available and the prices. Rosa can easily accomodate special requests, such as food for small children, vegetarian or vegan fare, or gluten-free meals. Just tell your server about any dietary restrictions when you order.
Trout is the house specialty. The fish that we serve is as fresh as possible, harvested from the family trout farm the same day. Rosa’s is also known for its delicious tortillas, made from non-GMO corn harvested from the family milpa. The water supply that we use to wash our fruits and vegetables comes to us directly from mountain springs that we share with the butterflies, so you don’t have to worry about water contamination as you would in many parts of Mexico.
We also sell wine and beer, so no need to bring your own.
