La Parrilla
A practical downtown choice for Mexican staples, grilled meats, and a menu that works for groups. It is not trying to be clever, which is part of the appeal.
Tacos and fajitas

Muelle Viejo
A straightforward downtown seafood choice where the draw is freshness and a local crowd rather than resort polish. It is useful if you want to eat well without paying Hotel Zone pricing.
What to order: Ceviche and grilled whole fish
La Habichuela
A long-standing local reference point for Yucatán-influenced cooking in a room that still feels like a destination meal. It is one of the few places where visitors and locals both know the name.
What to order: Cochinita pibil and regional dishes
El Pocito
A low-key, local-feeling spot for tacos and seafood plates that keeps the focus on quick, honest food. It is the kind of place you use when you want dinner to be simple and cheap.
What to order: Tacos and seafood antojitos
Taquería Coapenitos
One of the better-known taco stops in the city for a fast, no-fuss meal with enough variety to keep a group happy. It is especially useful late in the day.

It was one one the best restaurants I’ve ever been too! Tasty & mexican vibe & music Food was delicious (not spicy - as promised), portions were big and they looked particularly well designed. We got free nachos and sides. It was the best quesadilla I’ve tried 🫠 Coctails (margarita) were big, strong and had mango pieces. The design of the restaurant is beautiful, colorful and aesthetic. We didn’t get food cooked in front of us but we saw other table ordering devil shrimps and spicy beers which had a whole dining experience included, cooking in front of the table, fire show etc During the meal couple of times an amazing music band was performing Mexican music( we were there 6-8:30pm Tuesday) Highly recommend! 🙌🏻
We booked on advance on a Friday night but I don't think there was any need. The place is popular for locals too though the prices are a bit high. They put on a show which is nice though the music can be very loud. Staff is welcoming and they allowed us to pay separately card and cash. Food was good too some is cooked in front of you
This restaurant was featured in a Chinese variety show before, so I came here to give it a try. Overall, it's quite good. There's a band playing, creating a nice atmosphere. The food also suits my taste quite well.
It's a tourist trap. I don't know what else to say. Food is super mediocre, very poorly seasoned. Meats are sliced so thin for the grilled meats for 2 they could be paper. Salsas have no flavour. We asked for mas picante and it still wasn't picante. Everything is expensive, prepare for all main courses to be at least 500 pesos on the lower end. Drinks are extremely expensive too, running around 250-300 pesos for the entry level margaritas. Some drinks can run 1500 pesos!!! Service is good though, but they are constantly running around a large restaurant with too few servers. Some gimmicky desserts look very dangerous with fire, liqueur, and ladders involved lol. Mariachi band comes in around 830-9pm ish and demands 1500 pesos per song. They look really sad :(. Save your money and go to parque de las palapas or any random stall on the street!
