If you’re tired of the touristy crowds, but still want an authentic, delicious and affordable meal in a tranquil, tropical setting, you must try Pollocoa in Coacoyul. Located off the beaten track, the slogan at Pollocoa is “Lo Mejor en Pollo” (The Best in Chicken) and they are not exaggerating. Chicken comes grilled, breaded, in a creamy poblano sauce, with mole, as chicken cordon bleu, or any other way you wish to have it prepared....

Located off the beaten track, the slogan at Pollocoa is “Lo Mejor en Pollo” (The Best in Chicken) and they are not exaggerating. Chicken comes grilled, breaded, in a creamy poblano sauce, with mole, as chicken cordon bleu, or any other way you wish to have it prepared. The menu also includes a full range of appetizers, salads, seafood, steaks and Sunday pork specials. For an extra cost ($50 pesos per adult and $25 pesos per child) you can use their swimming pool for as long as you want. The shallow end is partitioned off from the deep end, and is just shallow enough for a 2 1/2-year-old (mine to be precise) to stand up in without water wings. While waiting for your meal, or to burn off some of the calories after you eat, you can stroll the grassy grounds and watch the farm animals at the back of the property. They include turkeys, chicken, roosters, parrots, and most interestingly, ostriches. You can also while away your time watching the cooks work in the open-air kitchen, which is built around the natural rock formations originally on the property. tag:weheartzihua.com,2007://1.142 2007-10-12T02:04:44Z 2008-07-15T05:44:35Z
