Reviews
The food was the true highlight. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, with fresh ingredients and bold, well-balanced flavors. From the appetizers to the main course and dessert, every bite reflected consistency and attention to detail. Portions were generous without being overwhelming, and the menu offered a great variety to suit different tastes.
What truly sets this place apart is its commitment to quality and hospitality. Even during busy hours, service remained efficient and friendly. Pricing felt fair considering the quality of the food and overall experience.
Whether you’re planning a casual dinner, a family celebration, or a date night, this restaurant delivers on all fronts. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.
I ordered the Pollo Asado, a flavorful boneless chicken grilled over mesquite charcoal and marinated with achiote and sour orange juice. It came with perfectly cooked fried plantains (crispy on the outside, soft and sweet inside—so good!), roasted red onions, rice, and black beans. My friend chose the Cochinita Pibil, which was tender, juicy pork marinated in achiote and sour orange juice, cooked in banana leaves, and topped with pickled red onions. It came with rice, black beans, and warm tortillas.
We also shared a large Ceviche, which was fresh and zesty. Overall, the food was tasty and well-prepared, with good portions.
The ambiance is casual and unpretentious, perfect for a quick, satisfying meal. The Mercado itself has a bustling, lively vibe, which adds to the experience.
The big win here? No wait and quick service! Plus, we found street parking right out front, which was super convenient. If you don’t have the time to line up for Holbox, Chichen Itza is a great alternative.
Customer service? Fantastic. People? Even better. It’s the kind of spot where you feel like you belong.
Now, the food. Undeniably good. The Pollo Pibil, Poc Chuc, and Cochinita Pibil all carried that slow-cooked depth you hope for. Smoky, tangy, with those earthy citrus notes that hit just right. But then… the portions. Let’s just say, if your mom’s looking down at her plate after two bites asking, “Where’s the rest?”, you’ve officially crossed into emotional appetizer territory. Delicious, but not nearly enough to satisfy a hungry heart (or a hungry parent).
Had to whip out the wallet again just to make sure she didn’t leave hangry. So, let’s just say I wish the portions were larger (more family style).
