Casona La Yucateca

5 Ivan Garcia - 6 years ago

What an incredible experience from beginning to end. If you're not familiar with Yucatan cuisine, it is a state in Southeast Mexico which borders the Gulf of Mexico on one side and the Caribbean Sea on the other. And in this food lover's opinion, they have some of the most distinctive and delicious food in the region.

The appetizer panuchos with Marlin u0026 cochinita pibil and the quesadillas with Yucatan native veggies were amazing. The cochinita pibil entree was one of the best I've had in many years; so tender it came apart easily yet had enough firmness to enjoy thoroughly with a delectable sauce. The 4 salsas offered were unique and all delicious in their own way. The hand made blue corn tortillas were awesome.

The service from Chef Eduardo and Mrs. Gina were second to none. This was our first visit and we were made to feel truly welcome with them showing an authentic interest in having us enjoy their food and company.

As we spoke with Mrs. Gina, we learned they had a second restaurant called Mezcaleria Los Amantes which is based on Oaxacan cuisine (from the Pacific coast). It turned out this restaurant was half a block away for our hotel (JW Marriott Polanco) and we went there for dinner which we enjoyed even more than lunch! That review is on that restaurant's page.

We will definitely return.

(Translated by Google) Good place without more. Good typical Yucatecan gastronomy, great pillbill kitchen and little else really. Short wine list, too extensive for such a small audience. Well set, good natural light and correct service. Very casual.

Buen lugar sin más. Buena gastronomía típica Yucateca, genial cocinita pillbill y poco más la verdad. Corta carta de Vinos, demasiado amplio para tan poco público. Bien ambientado, buena luz natural y servicio correcto. Muy ocasional.

(Translated by Google) Incredible and varied executive meals of 95 pesos (in August 2018). And for dessert it is almost always a cafeteria cake, although sometimes it can touch jelly or snow. I hadn't found anything better in the area!

(Translated by Google) Very good service, attentive and friendly, very tasty cochinita and roasted habanero green sauce, only the dessert did not seem so fresh. The cocktail bar seems a bit expensive but well prepared. I recommend it? Yes

Muy buen servicio, atento y amable, muy rica la cochinita y la salsa verde de habanero asado, solo el postre no pareció tan fresco. La coctelería me parece un poco cara aunque bien preparada. ¿Lo Recomiendo? Si
