“ I’ve eaten here on two separate occasions, once for breakfast (on a busy Sunday) and once for lunch (on a weekday while shopping). Both times the waters were friendly, smiling, and attentive. Both times the manager visited our table to see if everything was okay. The menu is varied and had so many things I wanted to try that it was hard to choose. I was happy with my food both times — tasty and nicely presented. I didn’t think it took a long time to get our meals like other people have stated here. They brought a basket of chips with several different salsa options, so it wasn’t like we were just sitting there hungry. The salsa with the marinated onions was awesome and I had to make myself stop eating it so I wouldn’t be too full for my meal. Very enjoyable. ”

“ Wonderful option if you are already In the plaza! The menu is so extensive, they have all option you might need, since regular breakfast options till Yucatán antojitos and other dishes. The service is prompt and kind, they just need to add more sauces and spices options for the dishes. The “Lechero” coffee is amazing and the bread as well, you totally need to try it. The whole restaurant is clean and neat as well as the washroom. ”
