The food was AMAZING. Best tortillas I’ve had in my life. My fiance and I were starving after chichen itza and il kil cenote. We had the most amazing meal and drinks there. We were absolutely stuffed and happy leaving. It’s a gorgeous atmosphere and I highly recommend skipping the buffets and coming straight here for a delicious authentic meal. I had the chicken and my fiance had the pork poc chuk both were amazing. We also shared the guacamole and queso fundido. I can’t recommend this place enough. Also, it is soooo well priced.
This was genuinely the best experience we’ve ever had eating authentic Mayan food! Instead of taking the toll road to Chichen Itza, take the “Carretera libre” The food was perfect, you can tell La Tia Poloc has fed generations and has perfected her craft. Hats off to her. If you’re lucky, you might even catch a glimpse of her heading to the kitchen. The hospitality is even better. Our waiter Librado was outstanding. We were stranded in down pouring rain and he proposed we stayed in their huts. In total the dinner, plus stay was under 70. (Unheard of!) The next day, we were the first to arrive to the archeological site. They truly took care of us. Absolutely amazing! A must stop! 10/10 would highly recommend!
Amazing food , service and atmosphere. You will feel like you are in expensive nursery with lush greens and flowers. Service by Manual was excellent. Highly recommended on the way or from Chichen Itza
Fantastic experience. The food was amazing - the chocolate cake was soo good! I would recommend this to anyone traveling to or from Chichen Itza - we were on our way back to our resort in Tulum when our driver suggested the place. Total gem of a spot!
Found it as we were looking for late lunch after visiting Chichen Itza. Found it based on reviews on line and we were not disappointed. Love this quaint location! Tried the local dish Poc Choc for the first time and loved it! Also had their cochina pibil, I lived in Mexico for over 20 and this was truly the best I’ve ever had! The service was fast and friendly! A must try!
I ate there yesterday with my family and it was amazing. Fresh food, appetizers, most directly from the garden. We had chicken, pork and sausage entres. Authentic Yucatan food, family owned. The food was delicious and the hospitality could not have been better. It is an absolute "don't miss" if you are in the area. Photos to come soon. 5 Stars.
My experience here was fantastic! The service was fast and accurate. The guacamole and tortillas were some of the best I've had! The atmosphere was cute and clean. I'd highly recommend stopping here.
