“ This place was great! I had the nachos de la casa and the fish tacos. Both were delicious. The cornbread with coconut ice cream desert was excellent, too! ”
“ We went for breakfast and sat in the back garden. They had a patio upstairs but it was very hot so we stayed in the shade. Their garden was beautiful and there were pink petals everywhere from the trees which made it look so lovely. Their breakfast was very good - I had eggs and my partner had the avocado toast (both yummy!) We were given complimentary bread at the beginning and the butter we were given was so delicious. It wasn’t busy at all for breakfast so if you’re looking for a quiet meal with a pretty view definitely go here! ”
“ Solid spot – good variety of food and a nice restaurant overall. But somehow it’s missing that special charm – both in the atmosphere and in the food. Everything was tasty, no doubt, but there are other places that offer a more memorable experience for less money. That said, this is definitely complaining on a high level – it’s still a good place. ”
“ Absolutely the best dinner experience I've had on my 8 day trip in the Yucatan area. We ordered many things from the menu and honestly though we went way over board but every single thing was absolutely delicious so we finished it all. The service was immaculate. Every employee did a great job of catering to us to allow for an extremely pleasant experience. Plates were cleared quickly, drinks were replenished continuously and any other needs were fulfilled. It wasn't even the most expensive dinner we had on our trip yet it was the absolute best compared to other more expensive and fine dining. ”
“ Great restaurant. Tasty menus and professional server. You can enjoy tasty Yucatan & Mexican cuisine here. I enjoyed barbacoa taco with habanero so much.. one of the best i've tried in this Mexico trip. Server was professional, food came out in good time, we enjoyed the dinnertime. Definitely will come back when i'm in Valladolid again ”
