Salsa picante, tomatoes salsa & chips (complimentary)
Sonali S.

Stunning spot that was recommended by the hotel we were staying at! Hotel is located at the center of everything, walkable and easy to find. Pretty and lively atmosphere, servers were attentive and helpful. Food came out in maybe 10-15mins after ordering. The vegetable lasagna was full of fresh veggies: eggplant, zucchini, fresh tomatoes and pasta. It was delicious, filling and something I've not had anywhere else. The Plato Típico was yummy, pork was cooked wonderfully and had great flavor. Whatever sauces / seasonings they used elevated the entire dish. I'd order this again if I could.

We came here for dinner on one of the nights we were in Valladolid. We wanted to sit on the rooftop but they said the menu was different up there and they serve more authentic Mexican cuisine in the courtyard dining area. The food was only okay. We got the molcajete and a special local dish which is cheese wrapped in a meatball in a chicken soup with other veggies. Sounded great but it was pretty salty. The molcajete was alright, but it's not worth the 400 or 450 pesos it was. Overall this place was just super pricey for mediocre food.

Hands down my favorite place we've stayed! Staff was incredibly kind and helpful in english and spanish. Food was plated beautifully and everything we ordered was delicious! The inner garden area for dining was peaceful and gorgeous with water running from the fountains, huge trees nestled in the table area, small birds chirping etc. I wish we had stayed here longer, everything was so so so perfect.

Pollo pibil

It's a beautiful Spanish-style decor restaurant with an inner courtyard. The starting chips with guacamole and salsa were good. There was a bit of habanero. I got the chicken pibil and horchata. Both were good.

Amazing food, ambiance and service. Located in a quaint building with attention to detail. Many authentic Mexican food options and veg friendly too. Guac on the table is a nice touch as well!

Aminah K.

Such a charming restaurant. They have a beautiful courtyard with lots of greenery and plants. The food was really good. The guac was so fresh. The dessert flan and coconut ice cream were also delicious.

Courtyard

My partner and I had an amazing lunch with a beautiful view in the indoor/outdoor courtyard. The food was some of the greatest we had during our 10 day trip in Mexico! The service was very quick as there were a few employees taking care of our table. It was raining so we could watch the rain fall into the garden area of the courtyard while we ate which was beautiful.

Cathedral across the square

We spent three nights in El Meson del Marques in mid-March. We dined there at least once each day. The checkin process was fairly easy. The clerk seemed befuddled that we asked for two key cards. The room was spacious, clean, well appointed and well stocked. Daily room cleaning was nice. However, they never left us more than one wash cloth and the front desk clerk (again) couldn't understand why two people would need two wash cloths. The dining area is beautiful and nicely laid out around a lovely courtyard. The food in the main dining room is traditional Yucatán fare. I must say, it was delicious. The rooftop restaurant serves international dishes. Again, we were impressed by the level of professionalism in the kitchen and in the wait staff. Located in Valladolid, the El Meson shares the square with the cathedral and the pulsating street life of the town. If we're ever back in Valladolid, this will be our first choice.

Cochinita Pibil
Maritza R.

Amazing cochinita pibil! The reason I came to Yucatan! Everything our table order was great!

Grace K.

A very nice tourist friendly restaurant in a hotel. The ambiance was lovely and the service excellent. We were seated in a breezy courtyard with greenery and a fountain. The menu is extensive. We enjoyed the Puc Chuc and the local Linguiza with the addition of a side of grilled vegetables. Not the best meal I've ever eaten but quite good.

El meson de Marques is both a restaurant and a hotel. You could eat here even if you're not a hotel guest. If you stay here tho, you get to eat breakfast here as well! My family and I came here for both breakfast and dinner. The breakfast was pretty good but not too special. They have a set menu that you could order stuff from, with things like omelttes and scrambled eggs with a Mexican twist. The dinner was yummy and fairly priced. One of the best dish we ordered was the grilled octopus, which was flavored really nicely and cooked just the right amount! Would highly recommend getting it! Another dish that stood out was the shrimp. They brought the pot and fire out and cook it right beside you, so it was interesting to watch them make it! The product was also tasty. As a hotel, the rooms seem a bit old and there were some ants crawling around and flies flying. But overall, it was a good experience.

Lovely place, excellent food

It's a beautiful place, friendly treatment, great quality food at a great price. Personally, it is one of the restaurants that I love the most in Mexico.

You crawl out of Chichén Itzá sunburned, dusted in ancient limestone, vaguely questioning your life…read morechoices--and then you land here. Just steps from Valladolid's buzzing zócalo, where scooters zip past and church bells cut through the heat, this place hides in a garden like a well-kept secret. Lantern light. Greenery. The kind of setting that makes you slow down whether you meant to or not. Romantic without trying too hard. The food? Solid. Confident. Proudly Yucatecan. Sausages with snap and smoke. Poc chuc--citrus-marinated pork, kissed by flame--bright and satisfying after a long day wandering ruins. And the beef pibil, wrapped in that earthy, achiote-stained depth that tastes like it's been cooking since before you bought your plane ticket. Not fussy. Just honest, regional flavor done right. Presentation was sharp without being pretentious. Plates came out looking like someone cared. Service was efficient--no hovering, no theatrics. They know you're hot, hungry, and probably still thinking about pyramids. They move accordingly. It's the kind of place that feels like a reward. Ancient wonders by day. Garden dinner by night. Valladolid humming just beyond the walls. That's a good way to end a day in the Yucatán.

Ambiance on the patio is quite nice. FOOD...forget about…read moreit. One of the signature beef dishes was extremely tough. Fish way overcooked..although they did remake it, just a little better the 2nd time. I'm very disappointed that we wasted one of evening's here.
