  • A rumbustious village bar with a salsa soundtrack. The men of El Cuyo go out to fish before dawn, and when they come back many spend much of the day by the beach at La Conchita, which serves up wonderful grilled fish.

  • Around the bazaar on the square (see Shops, Markets, and Tours) there’s a line of self-service food counters. Noisy, with lots of atmosphere, this is a great place for breakfast, and for local snacks.

  • The perfect place to cool off after a tour of Chichén Itzá. Tables beneath a palm roof strewn with colorful streamers, an atmosphere that’s relaxed, tasty food, and drinks aplenty.

  • El Mesón del Marqués, Valladolid

    Valladolid’s foremost hotel also has its most distinguished restaurant, with tables around a plant-filled patio. Its versions of local specialties like pollo oriental de Valladolid (see Pollo Oriental de Valladolid) are definitive.

  • The restaurant in the Quinta Real hotel (see Ecotel Quinta Regia, Valladolid) is cool and pretty. Its menu makes use of fresh local ingredients, including produce from the hotel garden.

  • Hotel María de la Luz, Valladolid

    This hotel has a big, well-shaded terrace on the Parque Principal, with very comfortable seats – ideal for lazy lounging while keeping an eye on all the movement in the square.

  • La Chispa, Valladolid

    A surprisingly stylish, youth-oriented bar-restaurant with smartly designed metallic fittings around the patio of an old colonial house.

  • Near the Chispa, this simple combination café, bakery, and ice-cream stand is a backpackers’ favorite, and offers fresh juices and bargain snacks.

  • La Palapa, Chichén Itzá

    A pretty terrace under a big palapa just outside the main entrance to Chichén, with enjoyable local standards like pollo pibil (chicken baked in a spicy marinade).

  • Friendly bar-restaurant with cool beers, great ceviches (raw fish salad, marinated in lime) and other Yucatecan snacks, and a fine view of the placid lagoon waters.
