We were staying at an Airbnb close by, so walked here on a Monday afternoon with the hubby. We ordered the above to eat in and takeout for his parents. I think like 8 of those tacos listed were mine. I love trying all kinds of fillings so can't help it when at a taco shop. I have to order like one of everything. All the tacos were delish. I especially liked the pulpo / octopus and carne asada. The conchinita pabil was new, so I decided to try that without looking up what it was. It's traditional Yucatec Mayan slow-roasted pork dish. Glad I tried it cuz I adore pork. You can grab sauces for your tacos and they give you complimentary chips. Definitely a must eat for any taco lover in Bacalar.

HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORIBLE!!!!!!!…read more The ambiance is nice, it is right next to the lagoon and seemed relaxing but the place was empty. Should have taken the clues. The horchata had a weird taste and was served at room temperature. I had to request ice to chill the drink. Still I stayed. I ordered a fried fish in garlic sauce, my daughter fried fish in butter and my wife grilled fish. We were hungry so we asked for an appetizer, it never came. We got the food, the first thing I reached out for was the tortillas, they were cold, it was although the cook took it out of the fridge and forgot to heat them, still I did not complain. The reddish rice looked mushy and the tomato had a glazed film over it as though it has been sitting out. The rice was room temperature. I tried some of the fish and it was stale, even seemed a little bad. I had not been to bacalar in a while so I still ate it, I though maybe my taste was off. My wife complained about the fish smell, still we did not complain and ate it. Then in the middle of it my daughter found a dead fly in the her fish head. It was the most horrible experience. I gagged and stopped eating immediately. I complained to the waiter, they did not charge me for my daughter's plate. I then tried to pay with a card, they only accept cash. I did not have any pesos only US, they extorted me on the exchange rate and they ended probably getting more for the three meals on the exchange rate. DO NOT GO HERE!!!!! DO NOT!!! NO COMAN AQUI!!!

We ordered this massive plate of beef and chicken fajitas that could have fed 3-4 people but some how we managed to eat most of it. This place is more geared towards Mexican families and not couples on vacation. If you want somewhere more sophisticated, visit La Playita next door

I visited Bacalar in November, and two months later I'm still dreaming about coming back just to…read moreeat here. My boyfriend and I arrived for dinner without reservations but got there right when they opened and were seated immediately. Our waiter was fantastic. He explained how the restaurant works, offered us a tour, and walked us through the menu with thoughtful, spot-on recommendations. We were brought complimentary chips and salsa, and since we were told our entrées would take 45 minutes to an hour in the wood-fired oven, we started with the ceviche de maracuyá. So worth it. For our mains, my boyfriend ordered the steak and I got the lobster. Both were excellent, but the lobster... wow. I'm from the Bahamas and grew up eating great lobster, and I can honestly say this was the best lobster of my life. Something about the seasoning and the wood-fire cooking made it unbelievably rich and decadent. I haven't stopped thinking about it since. By the time we were finishing our meal, the restaurant had filled up, but it never felt too loud or chaotic. The space felt intimate, with dim lighting, planets scattered throughout the decor, and perfectly spaced tables that made the whole experience feel special. Out of all the places we ate in Bacalar, this was hands down the best, and the one we still talk about.

Our appetizers were 3 raw mushrooms artfully presented with a mish mosh of flavors, and a plate of regular guacamole. The filet mignon was average.
