La Chaya Maya

Was there for lunch. Popular corner restaurant. Lots of locals, usually a good sign for a restaurant. Fare is Mexican with some very interesting options. Ladies sit near the windows, hand rolling the corn tortillas, which your waiter will bring you a sample of. Bilingual service with menus also available in English. Food was flavorful and reasonably priced.

Very cozy Mexican restaurant! It is very spacious and comfortable, cleanliness and sanitary standards. Good portions, tasty and fast food. Quality service. Everything is in order here. A good choice! Normal prices. Great place to try Yucatan cuisine!

This was a good authentic Mexican restaurant, with amazing flavors, and good portion sizes.

Prices were reasonable and ranged from around 100 pesos to a 2 person meal like we tried for around 400 pesos.

Definitely recommend.

The food here is absolutely amazing! They have a variety of traditional Yucatecan dishes. The staff is so friendly! The atmosphere is also amazing! Overall, a super cool restaurant. We would definitely eat here again if in the area.

One of the best places to try Yucatan gastronomy. Was recommended by the local local friend. The service is super quick, but the place had a bit canteen vibe. Other than that it was amazing. Food was just delicious. We took the combo package for 4 people to try different things and definitely would recommend that. Also try their chaya drink, one of my new favourite thing.

We also went there for breakfast, for 160 pesos you get fruit plate, coffee, juice and some dish (egg or sth else). Pretty good deal.

Get the Chaya drink! If it's one thing you get here, get the drink made from Chaya. I've never seen it in the states. This is traditional Yucatec food so definitely get it while you're here. Cochinita Pibil was great too. If you just want to try everything the just get the two sampler plates like in the picture.

We came here attracted by the humongous number of positive reviews.
Given that we expected the best.
We were not disappointed.
Although it is hard to understand what you are trying to order, using Google translate and the previous reviews' photos you can pinpoint your favourite food.
Personally, if you are a meat lover, I would suggest the Lomito. There are two in the menus. Take both ????

There are also vegetarian dishes (i.e. los tres mosqueteros) but the amount of food you'll receive is too much for one hungry person.

One note: when they say that something is spicy, IT IS SPICY. Do not thrust your ego. You'll get burnt. And it will hurt. For a while.

Finally, the waiters are friendly and the prices are definitely high for Mexico but extremely low for tourists.
