The service and interior are great and let me tell ya there is no better feeling than a well air conditioned and circulated room after sweating your a$$ off for hours from the Yucatan humidity. Our meal started off with a collection of bread and a delicious green melon agua fresca. We were then served consomé de pollo (chicken soup), grilled Yucatán chicken with beans and rice, and flan. The assortment of bread didn't look the most fresh so I ended up not trying it. The agua fresca was probably my most favorite part of my meal - exactly what I needed to cool off. The grilled yucatan chicken tasted almost like tandoori! It was a low on salt, but well flavored. The flan's texture wasn't smooth and it was room temperature, so it wasn't something I really enjoyed. The total price with our package deal ended up being 40 pesos - so excellent pricing! The server was very helpful and attentive. I really appreciated another server preparing coffee for me despite being closed!

This whole place felt so familiar as it is reminiscent of many public markets in the Philippines.

You have to option of buying and prepping the yourself, or you can get 'em peeled and sliced and ready to eat. I also saw plenty of kibi vendors (which, I regret to say, I didn't get to try.)

PRO TIP 2: There are not a lot of vegan options but some dishes and plates can be veganized, just ask the vendor from one of the many options.

We were seated and given menus immediately so they're efficient with their time! Since I'm a first timer, I wanted to take my time with the menu. While waiting, they gave us complimentary chips with 2 kinds of bean dips, pico de gallo and red sauce: all very tasty! We've had to ask for a second serving! I've had huevos motulenos a few times, so I wanted the other version: huevos divorciados de la chaya maya. (Fine, I'll admit, I got it because I thought it was funny.) All I asked is if it was spicy (it's not) and that's all I know about the dish. So it was almost like a surprise dish for me. HUEVOS DIVORCIADOS DE LA CHAYA MAYA: I left it up to Hubbers to pick which ones I might like. He chose relleno negro and pipian - and he chose well! Broke the sunny side up yolk and mixed it in the relleno negro, added with the crispy texture of the chips: YUM. Did the same for the pipian, with its nutty flavor and creamy texture. Even the pumpkin seeds added taste. Sooooo goood! I made sure to empty that plate. LOS 3 MOSQUETEROS YUCATECOS: Hubbers' choice. This is a pretty plate! I got to try the pureed plantain (a first for me!) and that was tasty! Had a teenee taste each of the three dishes and also delicious. FOOD: 5. SERVICE: 4. VALUE: 4. PARKING: I didn't notice any parking lots, so can't comment on that, but there is street parking. Could be a challenge. OVERALL: 4.50 (bumped it up a little.) And the cherry on top: there's a lady making fresh tortillas. And they are delish! A crowd formed outside waiting for seating. I truly understand why. They really are popular! An amazing first run! Highly recommending!
