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. Please don't be dissuaded by the $$$$ notation in the info tab. As noted, we had a party of ten adults and our dinner bill with drinks was substantially under $200 USD.

They were closed when I visited in May, not sure about the current status but the location is great.read more

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.

Stopped in late April 2024 during our Chichen Itza tour with our guide Luigi and we all were very…read moreimpressed with our lunch here. It's a traditional colonial style Spanish building with an open atrium in the middle complete with a running fountain directly in the center. They are well known for their brunch, but we stopped in for the lunch service. It was quite crowded when we got there, but we were able to be seated right when we arrived. They have a fairly large menu filled with all sorts of Mexican dishes, all the ones that we tried fantastic. I chose the chicken pool because it was the only new one for me. Was raised in San Diego and live in Los Angeles so most of the dishes on the menu I can find back at home but the pinup was a new one for me and I really loved it. The restaurant location is very walkable and is in the outer ring of the city center aka Plaza de Armas. Is easy to walk to the farmers market in the center courtyard or to one of the other many shops close by. I would definitely recommend to anyone to stop here when visiting Valladolid and I will definitely be back next time I am in the area.

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 !

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.

Just steps from Valladolid's buzzing zócalo, where scooters zip past and church bells cut through the heat, this place hides in a garden like a well-kept secret. Lantern light. Greenery. The kind of setting that makes you slow down whether you meant to or not. Romantic without trying too hard. The food? Solid. Confident. Proudly Yucatecan. Sausages with snap and smoke. Poc chuc--citrus-marinated pork, kissed by flame--bright and satisfying after a long day wandering ruins. And the beef pibil, wrapped in that earthy, achiote-stained depth that tastes like it's been cooking since before you bought your plane ticket. Not fussy. Just honest, regional flavor done right. Presentation was sharp without being pretentious. Plates came out looking like someone cared. Service was efficient--no hovering, no theatrics. They know you're hot, hungry, and probably still thinking about pyramids. They move accordingly. It's the kind of place that feels like a reward. Ancient wonders by day. Garden dinner by night. Valladolid humming just beyond the walls. That's a good way to end a day in the Yucatán.

The café de la olla, traditional Mexican coffee, was definitely one of the highlights. It was perfectly brewed, warm, aromatic, and had that comforting, traditional touch that makes it so special.

Everything was beautifully presented, the portions were generous, and the price was very affordable. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a traditional, flavorful, and budget-friendly Mexican breakfast. I will definitely be coming back!
