El Meson is clearly a tourist destination: literally every diner I saw during my meal was clearly not a Yucutan native. However, if you are looking for familiar food in a restaurant with helpful staff, and you are exhausted from your day trip, then you won't go wrong with El Meson del Marques. We started our meal with a couple of the delicious Mexican margaritas (not too sweet, and just as I like them!) accompanied with some tortilla chips and Sikil P'ak, a delicious Yucatan appetizer dip of crushed pumpkin seed, roast tomato, various herbs (often chive; I like cilantro, which El Meson included), all crushed in a mortar and pestle to produce a roasty, slightly chunky dip that is delicious with the ubiquitous tortilla chips. When it came time to order the main course, my husband, who didn't want any more Yucatan cuisine tonight, ordered the salmon. The helpful waiter asked him how he would like this done, and he looked at me in bewilderment, never having to answer such a question about fish. "I'd like it cooked," he said. I immediately had visions of overcooked salmon, and quickly added, "Medium, not overcooked.". He was pleased with the finished product, cooked but not dry! I took a risk and ordered a specialty, the "stuffed cheese". The waiter looked at me hesitantly, and then quickly filled me in that this dish is a bean stew, with a cheese rind. Having done some research into Yucatan cuisine, I knew that incorporating the rinds of Edam cheese into stew is a very traditional approach. The stew arrived, with a big thick cheese rind. I probably only ate half of it, not because I didn't like it, but because the helping was huge! It looked like an innocuous bowl of soup, but just half of that bowl ate like a full meal. Wow. This is a somewhat pricey (by local standards) but good, reliable, very touristy restaurant which will offer you familiar Canadian or American dishes as well as some genuine Yucatan specialties. Service is as polished as it gets, in a dining room with spectacular decor and a wide ranging menu with plenty of choices.

The stuffed pineapple comes from the personal sized pineapple on the tables and prepared with veggies and shrimp (I asked for no shrimp), topped with cheese and created into food art. Try it!

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.

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.

We went on a Saturday night and it was pleasantly relaxed, which made the whole experience even better. Alex took amazing care of us.

The food was as delicious as ever. We always order the grilled octopus and it's a must every time, perfectly tender and full of flavor. This time we also tried a small shrimp ceviche that had a great balance of acidity and spice. We finished with the grilled fish, which was soft, fresh, and really tasty. I skipped the margarita this time, but they are also one of my favorite things to get here. We will definitely keep coming back.
