Was a quick stop between Merida and Chichén Itzá. Looked up reviews and this place was recommended. The space is nice, well kept, and welcoming. Our party of 4 sat down and ordered 3 dishes to share, the steak and potatoes, the panuchas, and cochinita pibil. The cochinita was on the drier side but flavorful. Everything was good. Tip: Cash only! read more

Friendly service. Food is pretty good. The restaurant has lots seating with fans and air conditioning.

I was at Chichen Itza all morning and was hungry so I can into the town next to it and decided to eat here because of the good yelp reviews and I can cornfirm this place was really good the staff was nice the food was tasty I had a really good time my only complaint would be they leave the front and back doors open and some flies came in from time to time but you just have to swat them it's not a huge deal anyways 8.5/10 would come here again. Estuve en Chichén Itzá toda la mañana y tenía hambre, así que pude ir al pueblo de al lado y decidí comer aquí debido a las buenas críticas de gritos y puedo confirmar que este lugar era realmente bueno, el personal era agradable, la comida estaba deliciosa, tuve un muy buen momento, mi única queja sería que dejan las puertas delantera y trasera abiertas y algunas moscas entraban de vez en cuando, pero solo tienes que aplastarlas, no es un gran problema de todos modos, 8.5/10 vendría aquí nuevamente. read more

This is a Yucatan Restaurant. I'd say a gem due to nothing else being around. It has the typical Mexican food options tacos carne asada Pollo asada pork dishes. I had the pork Yucatan it was good. not the best pork dish I have ever had but decent. My wife had the Carne asada tacos. they were a bit dry honestly. The horchata was not the best. I would skip that if you are a connoisseur. The cost for 4 with double drinks no desserts was 62 us dollars if in the area again I would probably try a different place. But overall not bad read more

Las Mestizas - Bar - Mexican Near Me - Pisté, YUC

Excellent stopping place nearby Chichén Itzá. quaint setting and great food. Would stop again.

After touring the Chichen Itza archeological site for four hours, we were looking for a restaurant that was in the adjacent town. Immediately after leaving the site on the main thoroughfare, we saw a well kept restaurant with parking adjacent. "Good enough", we thought, not expecting much, but we would soon be pleasantly surprised. We were greeted in Spanish that quickly changed to English at our response. We elected to sit inside in the clean, spacious, and comfortably air conditioned interior. The service was fast and gracious. The menu (in Spanish or English) had a variety of appetizers, fish, chicken, steak, and pork. After a starter of homemade tortilla chips and salsa, the main dishes were served in an attractive manner. The fish was excellent and tender, and the pork and chicken meals were also very tasty. For less than $10 US apiece we left filled and content. read more

Las Mestizas - Yucatecan Food - Mexican Near Me - Pisté, YUC

We went here as a part of our day tour to Chichen Itza and Valladolid. Great restaurant to stop by if you're searching for a good place to eat. They have some options which can be veganized. We went for Panuchos sans chicken breast and it was great. Amazing flavors. The staff was good and friendly. The service was pretty decent. The seating space is quite large and good for large groups. We were a group of 10 but even larger can easily be accommodated. There is a space behind the restaurant as you get into the narrow alley adjacent to the restaurant where you can park your vehicle. We had a mini bus and it fit in without any problem. The restrooms are decent and clean. Overall, a thumbs up. Definitely recommended. read more

Very average. Not worth eating here. We came by because it was close to our hotel but it was disappointing and overpriced for Mexico. Walk around and find something else!! read more

I don't even know where to start!! This place is amazing! Amazing food amazing service just out of this world. I ordered cochinita pibil and it was more delicious than I expected. Juicy tender pork with tortillas and black beans. The habanero salsa was on fire and their pico de Gallo Dios mío!! The Puc choc de puerco y res was equally as delicious. Yucatan is the place to eat! The hotels in this areas don't have the best food or even authentic for being in Mexico which is why it's always a mission to find other food that's not tacos tortas birria etc. All those are easy to find back at home so asking the locals is always a good place to start this places are not in the best neighborhoods but who cares it's mexico!! Dare to travel to this beautiful magical place and you won't regret it I promise. Stay hungry my friends read more

On our way to see ChiChen Itza we stopped by a local restaurant as it had great reviews and the pictures of the food looked appetizing. I ordered the Carne con Papas and so my surprise the food arrived within 5 minutes, wow that's fast. The meat was precooked because it was cold and very dry and no to mention no taste. The best part where the French fries and beans. I wanted to try typical food but the waiter recommended the his plate. Never again. read more

Our group of four adults were pleased with our meal. They did not take credit cards. The place (including bathrooms) were clean. They have a bar inside with most alcoholic beverages available. Shaded parking in the rear of resturant. Enjoy!! read more

Stopped by for lunch on our way to Chichen Itza and were pleasantly surprised by this little spot. The service was great and we had a very knowledgeable waiter who was able to answer all our questions in great detail. The chips and salsa were fresh and the habanero sauce was hot hot hot! We tried the quesadillas, papadzules, the steak fajitas, the tzic de res, and the chaya with pineapple. The meat was tasty and well marinated. Everything tasted authentic. With the exception of the papadzules, which I didn't personally taste, everyone was happy with what they ordered. Overall a great experience and a restaurant I would revisit if the opportunity presents itself. Side note: they don't take cards so be prepared with enough cash before eating here. read more

A great little stop on a drive from San Jose to Merida. Parking is available in the bank. The service was fantastic and the atmosphere is nice - with a big, cool dining room. Tee portions were big, beer was cold and espresso was strong - all good things. I got the pork cochinita pibil and it was fantastic - with a fun presentation. Their English was good, and they let me use my not great Spanish as well. A great little stop. read more

After visiting the Chichen Itza ruins we were hungry but needed to get away from the touristy restaurants that were on site. It was late afternoon between lunch and dinner so there were only a couple of other tables occupied. Needless to say, the service was great. We ordered beers all around. Chips & salsa came out next but my husband also ordered nachos. They were alright. Here's what we ordered for the main course: Marc-Pollo Pibil which he really enjoyed. Randy-Poc Chuc a pork tenderloin cooked in garlic, sour orange & grilled onions. He liked it. My hubby-Panuchos which were tostadas. He thought they were O.K. Me-Cochinita Pibil. They were good but the best I've had are from Chichen Itza in L.A. They atmosphere was nice & we had a nice relaxing time. read more

The place to eat when visiting Chichen Itza. Skip the Mayanland Buffet and come here instead. Inside it is spacious and breezy. Food was excellent and well priced (inexpensive compared to Cancun and Playa del Carmen)! The chips and salsa were wonderful! read more

Las Mestizas - Mexican Near Me - Pisté, YUC

I was impressed. Not too many nicer options in the area but we opted to skip the "official Chichén Itzá Restaurant" as it looked a cafeteria. No veggie options other than a salad but waiter spoke good English so we figured out a combo. Everyone in my party really enjoyed the meal, food quality and preparation was very good. Kitchen looked super clean and orderly, they had bacteria killing lights in kitchen as well. I would highly recommend to anyone hungry and near Pisté or Chichén Itzá. read more

This place has the worst tacos I have ever had! Particularly their chicken tacos were horrible. I gave them 2 stars because they are friendly and their nachos are were good. read more

Great place to try local food. We had the traditional lime soup (sopa de lima) and slow-roasted pork dish (cochinita pibil). Both delicious! They give you a complimentary basket of homemade chips and pico de gallo to start. This place is right down the road from Chichén Itzá and provides a spacious and cool reprieve from the intense sun. Service is excellent and prices are even better! Great value for your money! read more

Felt so authentic. Easy on cheese Chicken felt so natural and probably organic Very well maintained Excellent service in such a remote part of the country We tried the chicken tacos, chicken plate, chicken fajitas and more read more

The food here is either inauthentic, or Yucatan cuisine is a lot more boring than I would have thought. I've had much more exciting and tastier Mexican food in Chicago, but I will credit Las Mestizas for having a small parking lot in the back, a big, beautiful, and cool dining room, and a clean bathroom with many stalls. It's an easy and reasonably priced choice for before or after Chichen Itza. The food was alright. The horchata was pretty bad - tasteless and a little gluey. read more

Las Mestizas - Mexican Near Me - Pisté, YUC

This was a very well set up restaurant with delicious food and cool air (which is hard to find here). The menu was on the shorter side but everything on the menu was traditional Mexican food and the portions were a very decent size. Cocktails here are also very economic. The only reason I wouldn't give it five stars is because the service was not as attentive as I could have hoped for but everything else was spectacular. read more

Great little place after a long day at Chichén Itzá. Super affordable, plus they have super clean restrooms.

This is an awesome restaurant in this area. The taste was consistent over the two days we ate at this place. It carries great fresh local food. Our host Stcundino was very attentive.

Skip the beef fajitas as they were very tough and literally made my jaw muscles tired. Contrary to the info about this place they DO NOT take credit cards. read more

One of the best food experiences in Chichin Itza. After looking at couple of restaurants nearby (tourist trap - buffets) decided to eat here. The food was amazingly good and fresh. Must try!! read more

You will have a delicious appetizer and okay entree. Had the lima de sopa (lime soup) and nachos especiales (special nachos) which were both very tasty, followed by a boring chicken dish which was basically just a piece of grilled chicken with an orange slice. My recommendation if you go here is to fill up on those delicious appetizers and that's it. The Nachos Especiales is sufficiently filling for an entree by itself with the ham and chicken, beans, and cheese on top of the nachos. read more

We stopped by the restaurant in chichinitza, and I was underwhelmed by the choices and the prices. We stopped by this restaurant and the service was amazing, the food delicious, the restaurant beautiful, and it was 1/3rd the price. We mentioned that my daughter likes avocado and they brought us extra! They sat us right under the air conditioning since we were overheated from our hot day in chichiniza. read more

After staying at a hotel near the ruins and paying tourist prices for average food and booze, I came to my senses and asked our bartender for a place in town that offered authentic local food and prices. He recommended 2 locations, we chose Las Mestizas. Great service, clean restaurant, and delicious food. We had adult beverages, various appetizers, and local dishes for reasonable prices. My kids fell in love with the Poc Chuc, Panuchos and Cochinita Pibil. We are ready to go back and try some more dishes.. Enjoy! read more

Beautiful place, authentic Mexican food! Plates are low cost and you will NOT leave hungry. Staff is very friendly and attentive. They carry some local artesanal beer that is worth trying. read more

Very good typical food of Yucatan and nice price. Everybody in our group of 8 was delighted.

Amazing cochinita pibil tacos!!! One of my favorite dishes. The waiter told me the pork is cooked for hours in a typical earth oven. The service was excellent. It's kid-friendly, has a small parking lot directly behind the restaurant and it is extremely clean. Good food at very reasonable prices! Our family of 4 stopped here after an early visit to Chichén-Itza. So we arrived at this restaurant right before noon. Our tour guide from Chichén-Itza actually recommended this place. My 4 & 5 year old had the chicken tacos with slices of avocado and they loved the pico de gallo. Had to make a review of this place for people like us who choose to rent a car and are visiting the area and are looking for a great place to eat afterwards. read more
