It didn't taste right and I had an upset stomach afterwards. The pool (I think it's available for day use) was not clean. The cabins (it's a mini "resort") were not clean and we saw a dead scorpion on the floor of one of the cabins. I guess that's better than finding a live one!

The locals told me that normally they offer more appetizers at other places which is why they gave it a four. This was the first time trying fettuccine Alfredo in Mexico and it was good. The restaurants is huge and offers a swimming pool, bar area and a waiting area. My favorite dish had to be the Apollo Pibil. The tab came out to $736 pesos which is really inexpensive for a table of five

Wow, where to start…read more.... Well, if you find yourself lucky enough to be visiting Yucatán you have to stop at this restaurant located in the sleepy town of Tixkokob located approximately 15-20 minutes outside of Merida. Yeah it's a bit out of the way but if you want the best cochinita pibil in the state, dare I say- the country of Mexico- this is the spot. Sure there are other spots in or near Merida but hands down this was my favorite. We were heading back to Merida from a day trip to the town of Isamal and had planned our early super to be here. The restaurant itself is a jewel located in the town and once you walk into the restaurant you feel as if this restaurant can be in any major metropolis with vast quantities of 5 star restaurants. The restaurant is beautifully decorated both inside and outside- if you have a chance take a walk around the outer patio and see where the ovens are located where they made your meal. Now the food! Well let me say that if I could have eaten the metal tray that the order of cochinita pibil came on I would have done so! The pork was very flavorful and moist and the consome (broth) which is from the pig itself was so delicious. Fresh corn tortillas come with the order as well. I didn't want this experience to end but there is only so much goodness one can handle. We also had the guacamole and the mofongo to start and share. These were also tasty. All around the service (as with every other place we visited in Yucatán) was top notch with the friendliest of people. The hostess also gave us a tour of the grounds and explained the history of the location. Side note: as we finished our meal and we're preparing to leave the Mexican singer, Yuri, showed up with her entourage. :)

We made extensive use of the foosball table during the wait which was worth it for the amazing food.

Tasty Authentic Mayan Lunch in the village of Santa Elena - Close to Uxmal and the Ruta Puuc!…read more I visited Restaurant Chac-Mool for lunch on November 23rd with a friend, after touring the Uxmal Ruins and on my way to the Kabah Ruins. This local restaurant was located along Highway 261 (left hand side if coming from the Uxmal), between Uxmal and Kabah in the small and traditional Mayan village of Santa Elena. For those renting a car, like I did, there was a gravel area for parking across the highway (on the right hand side) from the restaurant. My friend and I were the only ones at the restaurant for lunch, which made for a cozy, peaceful and relaxing environment. We chose to sit on the second floor balcony, which had a nice view of the surrounding jungle. There was also seating inside on the main floor as well as outside on the ground level. The décor and look of the restaurant was very charming, colourful and unique. I ordered the pollo pibil with a side of guacamole and chips. The food was so delicious and everything tasted very fresh and authentic. While eating my meal, I kept hearing what sounded like chickens squawking from behind the restaurant and I couldn't help but wonder if that was where my meal came from. The restaurant serves a large variety of traditional Yucatecan, Mexican and Mayan dishes. The staff were so friendly, attentive, charming and warm and the service was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at this local, family-owned restaurant and would highly recommend it to anyone traveling to Uxmal and/or through the Ruta Puuc!

And while small, it seats quite a few and is very well decorated inside. All my life I thought maybe you needed egg for the perfect chilaquiles but truth be told we got theirs with and without egg and the way these folks melt the cheese, it gives it this amazing texture not unlike a perfectly runny omelette. The egg is not in fact required. The flavors are rich, the chips are perfectly crunchy and crispy yet still drenched in salsa, and the meats and toppings just sing. Definitely by far the best chilaquiles we've ever had, and it's not even close. If you don't try Chilakiller's, don't bother ordering chilaquiles anywhere ever again because if you cared about chilaquiles, you'd have them here. Eat here, you won't regret it! Happy eating! -John Seeto
