WHAT TO EAT IN COPAINALÁ

The local cuisine includes plants and herbs from the region, and one of the most famous dishes is "Tzata," of Zoque origin, made with beans and green plantains, to which ground pork cracklings are added for more flavor. 

Other regional dishes include Pimbu (ground corn with chipilín and a ball of masa), Putzatzé (beef with lemon juice), and Zispolá (chicken prepared with white chili and cabbage leaves).

Tamales are also present in traditional festivities: chipilín, hierba santa, ball, and mole tamales. 

Local beverages include white pozol, made from corn cooked with lime, and cacao pozol, as well as sour atole, a Copainalteca drink made from whole and shelled corn that is ground and boiled.
