“ You have got to visit this place. It has the authentic taste of Mexican and Mayan food. That reminds me of what the island tasted like 20 to 30 years ago. The prices are decent. The food is just excellent. We tried the shredded chicken sope or Picadas - and the Poc Chuc - both just excellent. Highly recommend that you visit this place. And get away from all of the so-called Mexican fusion cooking that you find on the strip and come here instead. You won't be disappointed. ”
“ Very fast and very delicious i came here twice in 02 days. The prices are very good and the food was wonderful ”
“ I agree with other reviewers. This is an authentic, family run, unpretentious restaurant with high quality traditional food. Local community eat here. I personally came back for their fish tacos which have a crispness (perhaps a cornmeal crust?) that I didn’t find at other restaurants. Price is midrange. Service is very friendly. The interior is like a garden courtyard, quiet, with greenery growing everywhere, very beautiful and relaxing. ”
“ Lovely locally owned spot for a delicious, affordable meal. Atmosphere is beautiful - lots of plants! We have had avocados stuffed with tuna, fish ceviche, and vegetarian empanadas. They are working on an outdoor garden space. We visited several times during our stay on Isla, and can’t wait to return. ”
“ Run, DO NOT WALK, to try this great little spot! We have been in Mexico for four weeks so far and by far, the best food I have tasted. So fresh and full of flavor. The chile rellenos are delicious. So were the shrimp tacos. ”
