Frommer's Review

The menu here makes use of many native foods and spices to present a more elaborate regional cooking than the usual offerings at Yucatecan restaurants -- and it was about time for someone to show a little creativity with such an interesting palette of tastes. Excellent examples are a cream of chaya (a native leafy vegetable), and an xcatic chili stuffed with cochinita pibil. I also like the classic Mexican-style fruit salad with lime juice and dried powdered chili. There are several seafood dishes; the ones I had were fresh and well prepared.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
