    This place is pretty sweet and loved the culture they express. We came here because of our tour . this joint is located conveniently near the mayan pyramid .. we came here before to purchase some gifts and then came back to have lunch and we had to pass through the gift shop again. I was very happy they closed the gift shop at the time of the day when all the people came back just to eat. It was great to see that they didn't want to take advantage of us and just feed us with great food after a veery long and inspiring day at the Mayan Yucatán Historical site, we came here the ambiance was super friendly and attentive the staff at Puebla maya catered to our needs. The regional food was delicious ! It was awesome that they had 2 types of cusines being served ! Regional and internacional . I didn't take anything international as I was truly there to try out the local food . Mmmm I had the fried bean dish it was just amazing fresh and fullnof authentic Yucatán flavours. ThE tacos were traditionally prepared in a steamer woow the taco was soft and deeeelicious. The chicken was a bit dry but I loved the pulled pork on my taco con salsa Habanero the 3rd most spicieest salsaa in the world. Muy muyy picante I needed some water right away ahaha I had their homemade lime soup very delicious the broth was super flavourful All of the food was prepared locally and homemade It was all included with the price of our tour so we did not have to pay extra for the food The only thing that I did not like is paying for water the food was included but not the drinks. I believe water should be included but they do charge you for anything you want to drink even water bottle as you're probably paying for the bottle itself. The prices are not too expensive for drinks around 2 to 4 $ per drink per person. Sus bebidas estaban muy frías, así que realmente me gustó !! Overall, pretty awesome food and we also had mariachi chicas entertaining us and dancing while we eat our lunch . Wonderful vibe at Pueblo Maya definitely recommend taking the tour with the buffet included as you will be brought here to dine.

    Pueblo Maya is one of the buffet food lunches near Chichen Itza serving multiple tour companies. The server team are nice, the setting is comfortable, and the short traditional dance performance displays real skill. The food tho... The local regional cuisine was ok including Huevo con Chaya (Scambled Eggs with Chaya) and Cochinita Pibil (Yucatecan-style Pork). Stick to this station because the international cuisine was terrible. My favorite was probably the simple Codzitos (Fried Tortillas) as a base for the pork with quest. Drinks like a cold Cerveza or local Chaya Margarita all cost extra. You're on vacation and riding around in a tour bus, so, why not cool down and chill out at the same time. Pueblo Maya is ok. Since you'll be on a tour and won't have any say in where you go for lunch, at least, you get to have a say in what buffet food you eat. The options aren't great, but choose wisely and have a cold drink before heading to the next tourist destination.

    Very low quality food. I would give 0 stars if I could. Selection is limited and taste isn't even worth mentioning.

    This restaurant is in a large hotel, and fills up quickly on weekends, when the tour busses from…read moreCancun roll into Valladolid, after their trip to ChichenItza. 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.

    We wanted to find some authentic Mexican street style food and not spend a lot of money doing it…read more We were able to make all of those things happen at Loncheria Fabiola in Pisté. We loved that we could dine outdoors (and hangout with like 15 stray dogs haha) and this was incredibly close to the Mayan Ruins at Chichen Itza so we were able to grab food here the night before our tour of the ruins. Started off with some pork tacos and some assorted empanadas. The empanadas were good but I would say out of the three things I tried they were my least favorite. The flavor was solid and the fillings and consistency were enjoyable but they lacked the pop of the other two dishes for me personally. I added some of the hot salsas they brought to the table and that made these even better but the tacos and my entree definitely held the edge. These tacos were served on a thicker tortilla than the tortillas they brought for our entrees. I really enjoyed the texture and mouth feel of this compared to a typical corn tortilla. It had more flavor as well to me. The pork had great flavor and was very tender, and the toppings as well as both hot salsa's on this was really great together. I'd eat these tacos all day long. For my entree I decided to get the "Chochinita Pibil" platter. This is this regions famous go to dish so it made perfect sense to try it out. It's a pork that is slow roasted with interesting seasonings like cinnamon, achiote, and allspice. The flavor on this was not similar to things I've had before and I enjoyed it so much. The pork was super tender and there was a bit of a smoky flavor as well. I made some tacos with it and added some of the rice and mole and it was seriously an awesome bite. Would order this again 10 out of 10 times here. 3 entrees with tacos, empanadas, and sodas was like $30 usd or something. Insane. Loncheria Fabiola - Didn't Suck!
