    Very good flavorful food. The garden mixed with an art gallery and then to have such a great menu makes this place awesome. I really like my maya omelette it was very healthy and good. Their coffee hit the spot smooth.

    We love this place! We visit every time we come to Bacalar. We tend to always order the chilaquiles and then try something new! I recomend the green juice to accompany the chilaquiles. Though we loved the burger we will probably not be ordering it again. Service is always amazing and friendly.

    Great breakfast/brunch spot with a lovely garden, gallery, and shop. I came here twice during my stay in Bacalar. The first visit I had order of Vegan Cacao and Honey Hot Cakes. Too sweet for me and I'm not big on hot cakes/pancakes anyway. On my second visit, I had the Manatí Chilaquiles with red sauce. Flavors were on point and I would go back to enjoy that dish again. Oh, and get some green juice too.

    Well manicured and gentrified spot. You'll remember the mural. The green juice is the healthiest tasting (and tasty) thing for breakfast. Good chilaquiles. Semi outdoor dining. Nice fish sandwich

    Great food! Great service! The only reason why I'm not giving 5 stars is because when we asked for the bill it took a good 15-20 min. Other than that, strongly recommend!

    This place has to be one of the trendiest spots around here. They took forever for our drinks to get to our table, the to top it off the server was rude when she did bring them. We ordered the some type of bread with cheese and scrambled eggs with ham, chilaquiles, BLT and pancakes. In general the food was okay, nothing special. Our server that took our order was very nice. The interior place of this restaurant is spacious and cute patio. I personally would not recommend this place, I'd say keep exploring other restaurants.

    Loved this place! The garden seating was beautiful and food was great. They had live music in the garden as well. We ate breakfast there and even grabbed some sandwiches to go for lunch. The vegan almond pâté on the veg sandwich was amazing! The artwork they had on display/for sale was very neat too

    Carrot, beet, apple, and orange juice blend. Gorgeously red and delicious!

    El Manatí is a gastrolounge, gallery, and boutique. They sell locally made tinctures, creams, clothes, towels, bags, and coffee. They also manage an eco-sail-boat-tour that has an electric motor and takes you to all the main sights on the lagoon like the cenotes, the bird island, and the Pirate canal. The restaurant offers many options for vegans, vegetarians, and gluten sensitive folks. Both my husband and I can eat here and walk out absolutely pleased and satisfied; himself a meat eater and myself an extreme healthnut-vegan-with allergies. My favorite dish so far, has been their Enmoladas with jamaica (hibiscus) flowers, potato, and chaya. I ordered black beans on the side to complete the vegan protein.Their mole negro is made in-house. All their juices are fresh and delicious, and their egg dishes are superbly presented and put together as well. My husband's favorite omelette was the Mayan omelette with zucchini, potato, chaya, and pepitas. Their Mocha latte with coconut milk, no sugar added, was just like I would make it at home, but even better. We've been going to El Manatí for breakfast every day since we arrived. We are totally attached to our waitress, Fatima. She is so tolerant with me especially, with all my food allergy questions, and she is so kind and joyful to work with. The manager Anna-Karen is always here and ready to assist with any questions or special needs.

    Mole chilaquiles were very delicious. The restaurant also had a gorgeous patio space.
