Wife being a vegetarian, we were very skeptical about our first meal in mexico . We tried papadzules , sopas , tlacoyos, which came with 3 dips which were out of the world ! So much flavor experience in very bite. One seemed eggplant , one seemed pumpkin and third we just could tell ! Got a huge lemonade jug to go along ! Amazing and happy stomach start to our Yucatan tour !

My…read moretour group stopped in this cute little old-downtowny area on the way back from Chichen Itza and the cenote; I wish they gave more time because 30mins here was not enough, I feel like 1-2 hours would be plenty to sample the local flavor and hang out in the park at the middle of the town square but 30mins was what they gave so I ran to Pitagoras Cafe del Profesor and had some of the most odd-tasting (but in a good way) tacos ever. The flowers are marinated in a vinegar-y BBQ and roasted to have a very interesting texture that I haven't had before. Definitely recommend for good vegetarian restaurant while in the area (several vegan items available.)

So glad we stopped in! A sweet little spot for a relaxing and healthy lunch. We enjoyed so much. We…read morehad the spinach lasagna and the falafel pita. Both were incredible!

The sign is a bit small though so you may have to watch carefully :) Both the tacos were good and the sauces even better. The oro latte could have been a bit hot but both drinks were decent. We tried the chia pudding, but that felt a bit stale. The service was good. Nice clean restrooms. The owner as well as the others spoke english and were really nice to talk to, so a good experience overall. They do accept credit card, but unlike for cash you will be charged a 5% additional fee. I would give it 3.5/5. Taking off .5 for the luke warm latte, extra service fee and stale pudding.

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.

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.

This restaurant is inside of a hotel atrium. Pretty decent menu, however the service is very slow…read morebased on my standards. This is a tourist stop, with busses stopping right across the street. Of course, while you wait to have your order taken or your food to come out, the drinks are flowing. No problem with that service. When I got my food, it was pretty good, but a little expensive. I enjoyed the tortilla chips and salsa. The house made guacamole was delicious, though.

I personally had the Póok Chúuk (Traditional Maya Pork Fillet), which our driver had noted was a very traditional regional dish. All of our food was excellent.

The service was terrible. The food was amazing. Would I wait for food/service from there again?…read moreNope. The servers were very nonchalant as we waited 20 minutes after being sat to come over to our table for the first time. This was after waiting at the door for 10 minutes and in the waiting area for 20 minutes. It took 30 minutes for our drinks to arrive after ordering. I was so thirsty I started drinking from the water bottles we had brought with us. The food, surprisingly, arrived not too long after a basket of chips and salsas was brought to the table. I noticed the next table over got their basket of chips and salsa before us (and before their drinks). We ordered agua mineral, enchilada mole con Pollo, dzitnup, jugo verde, molcajete mexicano, and Milanesa de pollo con papas. Food prices were decent (MX1230 for our meal and drinks).
