Courtyard (swoon!)
Melanna C.

Epically beautiful; it reminded me of San Miguel de Allende! Per the reviews that you found, this is a gem in a spot by the main park just outside of Ek Balam (ruins just outside of Chichen Itza). I wish I could pack our waiter into my pocket and bring him everywhere I go! He was the most lovely, Mexican senior citizen with extra pep in his step I have met in a long time. The regional dishes, Yucatan, Mayan, and Mexican, were fun to explore, and their scratch margaritas are on point (mezcal or reg). We ordered the Molé enchiladas, the steak fajitas, the cheese, beef, Chile, Riano, and corn, soup, and Cochinitos tacos (meat buried in the ground and cooked the Mayan way). We were all happy and would have dove into the banana foster had we any tummy room. Come here, stay here, play in the daily farmers market across the street; net-net BE CHARMED. Mwah, you amazing little place!

The place is super cute and has a romantic feel. The place was understaffed our poor waiter was running around like crazy. So we waited some time to be served. Food was good as well as the fresh drinks.

This restaurant is really really really good it was probably my favorite Mexican restaurant while in Mexico. The food was perfect full of so much flavor!!! My plate came with a variety of options and everything was so yummy.

Stuffed poblano and Mexican platter!! Both must haves!

If you find yourself in Valladolid on your way back from Chize Nitzan or a Cenote, this is a nice price to stop by and have lunch/dinner! Stuffed poblano and the Mexican platter are what I recommend. Our server was not good and probably the only bad one we had in Mexico but if I take that out, then this place is nice for food.

This one of my favorite parts of my Cancun trip! We had an awesome tour guide who suggested this restaurant and drove us here after exploring the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza. The prices are fair and less expensive than in the states, with amazing service and quality. I fell in love with the interior as soon as we walked in. It mimics the a small Italian courtyard garden with an open center to let sunlight in. The cozy and detailed decor, the airyness, and fun colors contributed to the warm atmosphere. I was delightfully surprised when the guacamole we ordered was made fresh in front of us! One of the waiters brought a rollover table, stone bowl, avocado, and other ingredients and mashed it up right in front of us and served it right after. It tasted fresh and delicious! There are also complementary chips, Pico de Gallo and habanero sauce. I ordered two drinks (it was SO hot at Chicen Itza and I was dying for something cold and refreshing): the green juice and strawberry grapefruit orange smoothie. The green juice tasted healthy and refreshing, and less on the sweet side. The strawberry grapefruit orange smoothie was delicious! Perfect amount of sweetness and very tasty. For my entree, I ordered one of the "flamed" dishes which was the Caribbean Shrimp. Again, I was delighted when one of the workers came out with a rolling table with a wok and ingredients! He cooked the entire dish right in front of me and served it right after. I've never had anything quite like it - it had pineapple, coconut, and a side of sweet rice and veggies. I LOVED it! I would highly recommend it if you like tropical savory dishes. All of the employees were very welcoming and provided excellent service. I would come again if I had the chance. They have a wide selection of foods to order from Mexican traditional to regional foods.

Great dinner, especially for a place that seems like a major tourist trap. We considered going somewhere else per the hotel concierge recommendation but ultimately came here and loved it. The ambiance is wonderful and service is attentive. The menu is vast with Mexican, local Mayan, and Western options.

After a long morning of Chichen Itza and Cenote swimming, our driver suggested we stop for lunch and shopping in Valladolid. We parked in the back of this hotel, so we weren't quite sure what we were walking into , but we're quite pleased to find the open air courtyard restaurant inside. We were promptly shown to a table for 6 and got down to ordering. Service was really good, and we didn't have to wait long to order drink refills etc. The menu covered quite a lot, and a lot of the dishes are unique to Valladolid, so we took some time to look it over. The Stuffed Cheese dish sounded like a must, so we ordered it to start and to share, while taking our time to figure out the other orders. Despite seeing the picture, none of us were quite expecting what came out as the Stuffed Cheese dish. Not that that's a bad thing, it tasted amazing, and we were all happy to share it! First round of drinks were up and we enjoyed Sangrias, Margaritas and Daiquiris! I decided to try the Avocado Gazpacho, which was perfect for the outside weather. I liked the soup, but didn't love it, however my step-father happily sucked down what I had left, so it's definitely a preference thing. Since the Marques Shrimp was going to be cooked table-side, I ordered this simply to see the showmanship, which was quite entertaining, and definitely a tasty dish. However, my husband's Garlic Shrimp was slightly more yummy! Supposedly this is the best restaurant in town, and we definitely enjoyed it! Perfect location to for checking out the square, the church and some light souvenir shopping!

Despite being a popular destination for tourists, the food itself is not the touristy fare that you'll find in the likes of Cancun. The food here is authentic, and it is very good. As for the price, it is very reasonable for the quality of the restaurant and the fact that they serve almost exclusively tourists. Dishes generally ranged from 120 to 200 mxn, and cocktails varied from 40 to 70 mxn. If you don't arrive early, you can expect to wait a while for a table as it is very popular every night of the week it seems. Also, don't be surprised if nearly half the menu is not available like happened when I was finally able to be seated. Despite the wait, and having to choose 2nd and 3rd choices from the menu, I was thoroughly impressed and satisfied with my meal. The queso stuffed chile relleno was to die for, and the chicken pibil just melted away in my mouth with a mix of fantastic flavors. Also, I almost forgot about the green hot sauce they bring with the chips. It was one of the hottest that I tried in Mexico. My mouth was on fire.

Went to Cancun March 2020 and our friend suggested this place after our trip from Chichen Itza. Truly my favorite place we ate the entire trip, everything is so fresh, less tourists, good prices&cute ambiance! On our next trip I'll be sure to return. I got the mole and my bf got the molcajete. The guac was made right in front of us, and did not disappoint. Everything was delish.

Amazing food! This place has the most authentic Mayan food. The service is amazing and the food is so tasty that you keep eating. The ambience is colonial style Spanish setting.

Informative Tour and Free Samples of Authentic Mayan Chocolate - A Gem in Valladolid!…read more I was wandering around Valladolid on the afternoon of November 15th and stumbled upon this small chocolate museum located along the charming and quiet diagonal street known as Calzada de los Frailes on the way towards the Convent de San Bernardino de Siena. I stepped inside and was greeted by a very friendly and welcoming woman. There was already a group of people inside who were just about to go on a tour, so I joined them. The female guide who gave the tour told us all about the history and origins of chocolate, how the Mayans used it and its importance to them, and how it has changed over the years. She showed us various artifacts and photos in the small museum and explained the meaning of them and the process of turning the cacao bean into chocolate. The guide was knowledgeable, captivating, and entertaining. She also spoke at least three languages (English, Spanish, French and probably more) fluently and gave her spiels in all three as we had group members from Mexico, France and Canada. At the end of the tour, we got to sample a variety of authentic Mayan chocolates in different flavours, from honey to pure cacao to mint to vanilla to cinnamon to spicy to milk and more. They were all so unique and delicious! After the tasting, you are invited to look around the small store with a variety of chocolate products. You could purchase small boxes of the authentic Mayan chocolate in all flavours for 85 pesos, and they also sold chocolate shampoo, hair conditioner, body lotion and other things. In addition, the tour and tasting was completely free! The tour lasted about 20-30 minutes. I ended up buying a box of chocolates (they make great gifts for family and friends) because I really wanted to support this place. The tour was super informative. I learned a lot and I also really enjoyed the chocolate tasting at the end! There is also a small restaurant/café attached to the factory where you can purchase cacao-based drinks and treats. I definitely plan to check this place out next time I am in Valladolid! This place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

This place is a gem. The staff was really helpful and came quickly…read more My friend got a glass of wine and I got an Aqua fresco that was absolutely delicious. We ordered the lobster bisc to start and that was just creamy and yummy with a nice amount of spice.. It's the same sauce they put over the xKitic chicken. I ordered the esbeche oriental and she got the beef pibil. We were happy with their our food & the appetizer was nice surprise. I loved the dark salsa. The other was the local pumpkin seeds smashed up. Very tasty. She got the house red wine which was served cold. That's the first I've ever seen red wine cold The star of the show where is the location in the back it had a great atmosphere and lots of trees and open air really inviting and lit up well.

Very nice interior, deco, tables, settings, AC, cool music, you can always come but you cannot leave until you satisfied your hungry stomach . Service is attentive and slow as the 'hotel California ' music streaming in the background. We started with the empanadas Chaya, then stuffed cheese, longaniza de Valladolid to stay with Yucatan side. Then garlic plancha octopus and lobster pasta to be on the safe side. Empanadas and stuff cheese is below average. Octopus is really good, balanced with grilled vegetables. Lobster is small but good. Pasta sauce is not on par. Sausage is very good, the grilled onion is exceptional. For the drink, tamarind is below Mexican average standard. Take one star off.

Loncheria El Amigo Casiano - Cheap and Delicious Authentic Mexican and Yucatecan Dishes!…read more I visited Loncheria El Amigo Casiano once a day during my most recent travels to Valladolid (November 15-18) and it quickly became one of my favourite places to eat! It is located inside the El Bazar Municipal open-air food court and plaza situated on the north side of Valladolid's central square (corner of Calle 39 and 40), in the far left hand corner from the entrance on Calle 39. They serve authentic, tasty and cheap Mexican dishes and traditional Yucatecan dishes, including things like huevos rancheros, poc chuc, tacos, cochinita pibil, among many other foods. This restaurant is very casual. You order and pay at the counter, wait for your number to be called and then pick up your food from the counter, similar to the process of ordering fast food in Canada. There are no serving staff. They are only open for lunch and every time I came here, the place was packed with people! It was definitely a popular favourite for the locals. The menu is displayed in Spanish only and the staff only speak Spanish. It was a fun challenge to practice my Spanish conversation skills! Some of my favourite things to order included the huevos rancheros, tacos, panuchos, and sopes. I also really enjoyed the refreshing aguas frescas (beverage with fresh fruit, water and sugar) and they came in a large variety of flavours. My favourites were the horchata (rice-based milky drink with cinnamon and vanilla), Jamaica (made from hibiscus flowers), sandia (watermelon), fresa (strawberry) and Chaya (a spinach-like plant that is native to Mexico). The food was excellent at this place and I highly recommend this eatery to anyone staying in Valladolid. I cannot wait to return and try many more of their tasty dishes!

This is like your local food court inside a shopping mall. There are various kinds of authentic…read morestreet foods in this Bazar, so you can't get more local than this. Just browse around and see what types of foods you're interested in. The downsides are that tables are first-come, first-serve. Meaning if you can't find a table after ordering your food, you're eating standing up. Lastly, you have to pay to use the bathroom. There is a gate that blocks the entrance to the bathrooms and you have to pay to enter.

We ate at this restaurant in the Zentik Project Hotel a few times while staying there in December…read more2019, and more recently for lunch when stopping by again during a day trip. The menu leans heavily toward seafood and Mayan influences, and I have always been extremely happy with my meals. The service is great, the atmosphere wonderful and the "special coffee" is a must have! The only reason I give it 4 instead of 5 stars is that Hubby has been a little disappointed a couple times (ie. overcooked tuna). Definitely worth a stop if you are in the area or staying in the hotel.

Tonight we decided to eat here at our Hotel Restaurant called Naino, the Hotel is ZENTI'K Project…read moreeco-friendly The restaurant is very cozy, but a little dark. Our two waiters both named Carlos were very good, but are very busy with other tables, so we didn't get to service that were accustomed to. We ordered the Mediterranean salad, it was very good but the lettuce should be crisp and cold and it wasn't. My wife ordered the ham croquettes, she's very happy with her dinner. I ordered the Ribeye steak with with french fries, the steak has to be one of the best steaks I have had in 20 years, absolutely delicious. The french fries were a little bit on the cold side and not crispy. It came with a salad, but again the lettuce was not cold, and not crispy. Overall, we highly recommend Nainos Restaurant. My wife had the margarita and she says it's one of the best margaritas that she has ever had, the bartender; Carlo's who was also I waiter did a fantastic job with that drink.
