Restaurante El Mexicano - 77793 Cobá

Great staff and super food!

Amazing spot. The pollo de maya (Mayan Chicken) was so juicy, and had great flavor. Chicken empanadas were stellar - the breading was light and crispy. Have never had empanadas with breading like that. I highly recommend for anyone passing through town, or visiting to see the ruins.

*Charming atmosphere *Very reasonable prices (dare I say “cheap”, compared to Tulum) *Attentive service *Delicious food and drinks! So happy we found this authentic place upon leaving Coba Ruins... It’s just a block or so outside the entrance gate, with a lovely view of the lake! It was early afternoon, and we were hot and exhausted from climbing the ruins. The friendly staff sat us in a table in the shade, and even brought over an extra fan to cool us off! We are a vegetarian / vegan family, and we had no problem finding lots of delicious options. The menus are in both Spanish and English, and there’s free wifi (in case that’s important to you). Our drinks were amazing - and a great deal! Our favorite was the banana smoothie and lemonade. They brought over complimentary chips with a variety of sauces, including pickup de Gallo, while we waited. The vegan tacos were wonderful, and they had simple nachos and hot cakes for my picky kids. You can even walk the lakeside promenade after your meal :)

Lovely place to eat after touring the Coba ruins. Delicious local Mayan food. I got Mayan Pork (it was AWESOME) and my wife got pork tacos. Very cheap prices (most dishes are under $100MX).

Very delicious Mexican food for excellent prices. The staff were amazing as well and the view of the lake is an added bonus. My girlfriend and I ate here after exploring the Coba ruins and then we went out of our way on the way back to Tulum from Valladolid just to eat hear again. Highly recommend!

Very nice family-owned restaurant with a good selection of vegetarian dishes. When we visited Coba, we wanted to go out for dinner in the evening and noticed that almost everything was closed. We were so happy to find this nice little spot which was still open in the late hours. The service was really nice and explained the different dishes to us. We really liked the food and the family who owns this restaurant is very nice :)

Local restaurant with typical Mayan food, cheap prices, nice people, ideal place to eat after visiting the ruins or swimming in the cenotes nearby. I am forced to say that 2 hour after eating here, my partner and I developed an acute case of food poisoning.

small local restaurant with very good food. all seasoned well, served quickly. prices relatively low
