A great stop on the Gulf Coast Highway 180-Mex from Brownsville down to Cancun. We've rested here several times at different times of the year and have always enjoyed great French-Mexican food and drinks, plus the personal attention of the owners. Can the Mrs. cook! We done long walks on the endless beach, rented a old fishing boat and took a ride up the nearby inlet deep into the mangroove. A unique experience arranged by our hosts. Discovered an 18th century church built by France settlers at nearby San Rafael. Their descendants make some bvery special cheeses. Try the Alsaciano at La Noria. There's a lot to be discovered in this area. Close to El Tajin. Close to Papantla where vanilla originated.
