Restaurants in Villahermosa

Like other Mexican cities, Villahermosa has seen the arrival of U.S. franchise restaurants, but as these things go, I prefer the Mexican variety: Sanborn's, Av. Ruiz Cortines 1310, near Parque-Museo La Venta (tel. 993/316-8722), and VIPS, Av. Fco. I. Madero 402, downtown (tel. 993/312-3237). Both usually do an okay job with traditional dishes such as enchiladas or antojitos.
