Absolutely some of the best local food with the local “Sazon” and not overpriced like the hotel zone.

The Mexican food here was amazing. Seemed a bit like a locals restaurant which was great to see. Prices are good too although it is cash only. I would definitely recommend going here if you are looking for authentic Mexican food away from the tourist areas.

Great restaurant! They serve breakfast from 8am to 12pm and the rest of the time they have a daily menu. The pulled pork was really tasty - I would get it more often for sure. They have some desserts in the fridge next to the counter. We got a banana pudding with tapioca - nice, slightly sweet and calmed down the spiciness of the main course The prices for main dishes are around 170-200 pesos.

Came here specifically for Sopa de Lima. It is so good. A local Yucatan soup. Local place, so be prepared for conversation to be in Spanish. Nice staff though. Use Google translate if really needed.

We had several plates for a family style lunch to try a bit of everything. The food was delicious, the breakfast menu looked even better and hope to return one day for their full breakfast. It’s worth the trip for authentic local food!
