A HIDDEN GEM!!! You'll know you've found it when you see the line of people waiting to get into the packed restaraunt! Cocteleria Jar is truely a diamond in the rough... it is tucked away in an unassuming part of town in the quieter part of a major "mercado". After hunting down some of Matamoros's best known "Coctelerias" (Seafood Cocktail Restaurant), Cocteleria Jar really takes the prize for not only being the best tasting Cocteleria but also the best priced and economical option matamoros has! Definately worth your going out of the way to make it out to this joint! How'd they keep this place a secret for so long?!?!
