Amazing - I’ve been there many times, and all of them were amazing! The food and the people are wonderful. And also I am gluten free and everything there is safe and GF. From Argentina I will always come back to beautiful Cozumel and visit them. The mocktails are sooo amazing too!

Must try experience! - The experience was so fun and informative, we learned every step of the process of making tortillas and even the importance and origin of such ingredients in Mayan culture and cuisine. You also get so much food to eat and make! The waitstaff was so friendly and informative I’d do this experience again just to bring my friends

Great Cooking Adventure - Had an amazing experience. Everything was very clean and delicious and fresh. I loved the restaurant. The people were very friendly. Easy to find the location and the food was magnificent. Going to try to make my own tortillas now when I get home. Make sure you check to see what port you land at if you’re cruising because we were at a different port and had to get a taxi to and from the location. I would go again and maybe try a different menu next time for the experience.

Delicious Sazón - Excellent attention from Juan, Martin and Paco, we were indulged in this visit to the restaurant♥️
I love that although the restaurant has meat dishes they can adapt it for vegan people without changing the distinguished seasoning of Yucateca food🫶

Highly recommend - I had a wonderful time! Though it was a little hard to locate, the food and experience was amazing! The only other negative is we did not get our margarita since there were too many people who booked the experience. But otherwise I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend!
