Good food, friendly servers, nice place, we were a very large group and it took a while for all of us to get served and to get our bills.
Absolutely a must! Excellent Yucatecan food. - great quality and very local flavors. Oscar made really good food recommendations to us, portion’s were bigger than expected so we almost had to take a nap afterwards. It’s located right under the Ermita’s entrance. Thank you again Oscar & Chefs!
It’s convenient! Must say that the place it’s very simple, if you wanna try very traditional dishes and huge service portions then it’s your place to go! Also it’s open for the three meals and in the week days it’s pretty quiet. If you travel for business they do receipts and are very efficient on that area, and also can pay with cards. I preferred breakfast in this place!
It has ample food, good service and cold refreshments and beer. It has been five years since the last time I was was there and it was as good as I remembered. Worth the stop if you are in Tikax or close by. The ermita church at the top of the hill makes some great Kodak moments.
Nice restaurant in the heart of Tekax. The location is quiet and pleasant and there's enough space to park your car. The restaurant has lots of seating space inside. The staff is very friendly and trust me that they will take care of you. The food was absolutely wonderful and rest assured you won't be leaving hungry! High recommend!
The owner is Enrique Quintal. Is a great place to eat and drink
