The food - we ordered nachos de res, A torta de res, and a burrito de res. We finished it off with 3 horchatas. All the food was a bit below average. The flavors were just not right.

Located at Parque de Las Palapas, Dona Chonita is as authentic as you can get at local prices!!…read more Staying in the Hotel Zone, wherever you eat, it's definitely priced for tourists. There's no "local" pricing so if you want to eat where the locals eat, you have to venture into Downtown Cancun. If you're looking for street food/stands, Parque de Las Palapas is the place for you. There are a ton of food merchants and I felt a little overwhelmed because I didn't know which one to choose. We opted to try Dona Chonita because we saw a lot of locals order from here. Whatever you decide to order, expect it to be delicious! We got a torta, tacos and a tamale all for under $4! All DELICIOUS! It's a no-frills type of place and when they call out your order, there's a salsa bar and you can just add whatever you want. I loved my torta and how the bread was lightly toasted. The tacos were delicious and I loved the way the meat was prepared. If you told me that I would only have local food for my entire trip to Cancun, I would gladly accept. If you're in Cancun, do yourself a favor and check out Downtown. The food is so much more authentic out here and you'll love the atmosphere!

Scan QR code and voila choose your food in Ingles. Definitely the tourist place, so no locals. But at 90F plus temperature, I would not want to cramp into the super Mercado local place, so compromise then. The fried chips and salsa are special and unique in its own way. We order del trompo naiz and del trompo tradicional, skinny boy. Hours need to be updated in Yelp. Open at 2:15 pm on Monday instead of 5 pm. My Al pastor left 3 pieces of chewy fat.

The strip is filled with all the american cow manure comforts. Why fly all the way to mexico to feel like you're at home. Go downtown and eat like a local. This place is definitely the truth. Situated right in the welcoming front of Central Cancun, its as authentic Mexican as you can get anywhere in mexico. Order anything here and they'll truly amaze you with the vibrant flavors of real mexico. They have tables, a roof to protect you from the elements, chairs to sit on and beer to drink on. Life is great when you're really dining real local mexican. Two of us shared a medium cevice and the flank steak taco plate. Wash that down with two SOL with lime and salt... HELL YEA!! Mexico is awesome, specially the local stuff. We left the hotel cause were not paranoid of whatever these schizophrenic people say. We didn't get mugged, shot or kidnapped. You only live once, its too short to go through it scared. The glass is never half empty, Its always HALF FULL!!
