    I was quite surprised by this restaurant. In such a turistic place I would never expect it to be so good. We are for 20 days in Mexico and this is one of the best places so far. The burritos and hamburgers are really nice! Food you can trust on :)

    Surprisingly really good food. Sopa de lima, Onion soup and Mixed salad were delicious! Convenient location right at the exit from the Chichén Itza archeological site. Reasonable prices. Free wifi. Keep in mind that the tip is automatically added to your bill! 😗

    This place is located inside the Chichen Itza archaeological site and this is the only restaurant there. The food is really good too. We tried Yucatan dishes and I must say I love it. They use the chillies grown in the area and it's got a really nice taste. I would love to make some dishes using those chillies. The service was great, waitress explained us the dish and what goes into it. Really friendly and quick service too.

    We ate here specifically because the tripadvisor listing said they had vegan options. I even double checked with several members of the staff before being seated and was told there were vegan options. When I tried ordering, there were no options. The menu is geared towards american tourists, looking more like the menu at chilis or applebees than at a local mexican restaurant. Pizza, pasta, steak, and burgers are not traditional mexican or mayan food! Nearly every option contained meat, so I wouldn't even consider it vegetarian friendly. First the server suggested I get salad, but every salad had very few vegetables and all had creamy dressings, so I would have ended up eating dry lettuce. Then, he suggested the panuchos without the meat, which I ordered. Then, he came back to tell me that the only beans they had for the panuchos were refried with lard. So, I told them to just do what ever they could do vegan. I ended up eating lettuce tacos. LETTUCE TACOS. So essentially, their only vegan option is lettuce. I really wish they had just told me they couldn't accommodate me rather than say they could, then do so poorly. There are plenty of other restaurants serving local fare that have way better options.

    This is the first restaurant you see at the exit from the archaeological complex. I visited it on Saturday afternoon. I had the young pig meat and lovely fried onions. My friend ordered something else. I forgot what it was but I want this review to be longer. The price is higher but OK for a touristy place. The portions in real life are much bigger than the ones on the photos in the menu.

    Very good restaurant located in Chichén Itzá however it is expensive, we paid around $40 with tip and two drinks but it’s actually really good!

  • 5/5 Kate M. 4 years ago on Google
    Delicious! Wonderful service, a large variety (from authentic Yucatan, Mexican and traditional United States food) and quick service. And they don't mind if you're covered in sweat & rainwater after our tour of Chichen Itza...outdoor seating accommodates this -- they get it!

    Surprising experience for a restaurant in such a tourist place. Excellent service, cold beers and tasty well presented Mexican food. We had the Oxtun platter and a couple beers.

    Not certain when the other reviews were posted but my plates definitely did not look anything like yours... For 980 pesos we had exactly six tacos with no sides and one burrito no sides, as well as a definitely watered down Draft Dos Equis 330cc (110pesos 😂) in an unchilled glass along with a 330cc plastic bottle of diet Coke no glass or ice provided. Anywhere in Progreso or Merida you can get the exact same thing for half the price in a similar setting. Weirdly enough, our tab included something like a multiplication factor - seemed like a cover charge aka utensils and price for siting down, which I'm not sure what it meant, and a 10% tip which was already predetermined in the price. I think the only reason these people are in business is because they are the only outfit at an uncomfortably walking distance from Pisté where there are so many other better options. Don't get me wrong. The food was not terrible. It was actually okay, although it was an utter and complete rip-off. People that are stuck there and waiting for buses have no choice. If you are NOT stuck waiting there with elderly friends and kids, for example, I highly recommend you go to the village next door and eat.

    Nice little place to cool off and eat some great tacos 🌮

  • 5/5 Aces C. 8 months ago on Google
    Loved it! Try the tacos! By the way when you are on site this place says “taco maya” same place.

  • 5/5 Jordan D. 7 months ago on Google
    This place had really good food and was nice to have a beer after all the walking around the ruins!

    I got the Al pastor tacos and the cochinita pibil, the Al pastor had good flavor but was too salty, the cochinita tacos were too dry….but both were really salty. Also got a beer on draft, would recommend getting bottled beer instead. Convenient location if you are hungry after walking around but not worth the money in my opinion
