"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."

"The yucatan fish here was the most delicious thing I ate on Isla. Also enjoyed lime soup, chicken with green sauce, and poc chuc (ate here five times!) But it's the fish I long to return for. Authentic, unpretentious, and tasty. Great value and good service as well."
