"I’ve been coming to this lonchería since the 90s, and every visit brings me so much joy! The food is consistently delicious, and the friendly staff makes the experience even better.
My go-to is the chicken enchiladas with mole sauce—absolutely incredible—but I’ve tried almost everything on the menu, and you cannot go wrong. Their licuados mixtos are also a must-try!
I love this spot so much and can’t recommend it enough. If you’re in the area, go, go, go!"

"Fantastic food and excellent service!!!
Great place to get a quick bite with super reasonable prices!!!
We had chicken quesadillas and a couple varieties of tortas and both were great.
Service was excellent and order was brought out quickly.
Will definitely be eating here more often on our next trip to Akumal."

"This little eatery was ok, the food was basic and the friendly waitress got about half our order wrong.
Quesadillas were pretty tasteless and the Mexican style pork dish was sort of like a stir fried fajita. The food is certainly below par for the Yucatan.
Notes: Cash only, tips were included in the bill"
