5. Yup!
Great food and drink! Took the train from there to Mexico City: sleeper car; first class dining car; and club car (bar).

6. A cab driver took us to this "restaurant",it was a sty.
The cook would not feed us. The cabbie and the cook were in a heated argument in Spanish,I heard gringo said many times. I was just glad we left and didn't eat there.
