Hostería del Marqués - Valladolid

Situated in the town Square, a cooling retreat with a courtyard restaurant With our Mexican friends had a friendly and excellent meal Authentic Mayan food with an excellent egg flan for dessert Food served in interesting ways with interesting details

We stopped off for a late lunch after a very dry and hot morning at Cheken Itza. The courtyard was beautiful and offered such a cool and calm oasis. The food was also delicious - from more traditional Lime Soup and Turkey Pibil (looked dreadful but was delicious - we don't have too many black dishes in English cuisine) - to the child's burger..... Quality was same throughout and without a doubt exceptional. Our eldest (17 yrs) talked about it being a fine dining experience too as the waiter was so attentive but not invasive. Guacamole was made at the table and drinks were good and refreshing. We could have stayed all afternoon but needed to return to Tulum. We paid a similar amount for an exceptional meal as we would have paid for snacks on the beach....so excellent value. We felt really spoilt after this day out ... Mostly because of this lunch.

While travelling back from Chichen Itza we stopped by in Valladolid and found this gem. The tortillas were loaded with delicious sauce and chicken meat and the salad was fresh and crispy. DO NOT eat here without trying the peach and pineapple drink as it was out of this world - homemade, refreshing and with a great flavour. Overall a great find in the generally non-tourist city of Valladolid.

We came here to start our day before heading to Chichen Itza. I absolutely LOVED this place for breakfast. The prix fixe brings an awesome spread: coffee, juice, bread basket and entree. And it was under $10 for my boyfriend and I. Are you for real? Wow. So damn good! The breakfast enchiladas were incredible. So much flavor. You really can't go wrong here, everything looks amazing. Mmmmmmm.

Two weeks ago my family and I had dinner at El Meson. Beautiful setting! Not impressed with my dinner. The inside of my pepper was actually cold. The breakfast was very good though. Will return in November.
