    We came to this buffet as part of the Xichen tour by Grupo Xcaret. Food - decent quality, some items were a hit or miss, but overall pleasant and flavorful. Favorite pick was the pollo pibil and plantains. Aguas frescas were not too sweet. Ambiance - can be a bit loud but there is plenty of seating. This place is outdoors so don't expect AC. Service - friendly and attentive Bathrooms - clean

    Pleasantly surprised since this was a stop from our tour bus. First time trying Yucatán-Mexican food and all was good. This was a buffet style but a buffet quality or taste. Had a great range of variety and I am sad that I will probably never have a chance to come back. BTW, all the Frescas were great and many to choose from.

    Just like all the other reviews said this place is great! We came in for lunch after our trip to the Mayans pyramids and it was some of the best food Ive had on this entire vacation. The buffet had soooo much to chose from it was almost overwhelming haha so I tried a little of everything. Service was super friendly, ambiance and decor of the restaurant and the property was classic and timeless. I'm definitely going to be back

    This was our first stop once we arrived in town and we picked an amazing spot. The location is beautiful. We sat in the courtyard and ordered a yucatan sampler platter and a few frozen drinks. The food came out quickly and we enjoyed all of it. We also started with some guacamole which was tasty as well. Overall, it was a great spot for food and drink. It was very scenic. Price was mid range for the city, but still very reasonable relatively. I would recommend this restaurant to friends.

    Buffet ends at 5 so make sure you come early to partake in a more leisurely buffet experience. The thing with a buffet is, the quality is not that great, but you get a lot of variety for the price. We had a lot of traditional Yucatan dishes outside of this place that was much better. But if you had to just go all in, then sure, this will get you everything in one spot. I guess the one great thing about this place is the all you can drink Corona and juices. They also had a lovely coconut ice cream (just skip all the sorbets!).

    If you're taking a day trip to the pyramids at Chichen Itza from either Cancun or Playa Del Carmen this restaurant in this perfect little Pueblo is great place to stop in for some authentic Yucatan food. Entering this place feels like entering an 18th century hacienda. With it's open courtyard setting and cool breeze in the evening this place is wonderful to eat outdoors in an otherwise very humid climate. The food was delicious and tended to have a sweet and spicy flavor more similar to it's Carribean neighbors.

    Great dinner and ambiance. I like the courtyard area and openness of the space. Service was also excellent and it wasn't too pricey.

    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.

    Prime location sharing the wall with the most visited and most photo op church in central…read moreValladolid. 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.
