La Bikina Bacalar — Restaurant in Bacalar

My wife and I ate at almost every restaurant in Bacalar for our extended vacation and this is the only place we returned multiple times. I highly recommend the pasta. Very unique and well prepared. Best pasta I’ve ever eaten. And the bread bowl it came in was so so good. They serve chips and 3 different salads before the meal comes; very fresh and tasty. Their melted cheese platters are good. I highly recommend cheese only or with bacon, but ask for less meat and more cheese. This is not a bad thing as most places don’t provide enough meat. But honestly, this particular plate should be more cheese than meat in my opinion. We actually took some of the bacon from our cheese platter and added it to our fettuccini Alfredo… that took an very great dish and pushed it over the top. We also had the chicharron with guac, which was surprisingly the best appetizer I’ve had in decades. If you are ever in Bacalar, you would be missing out on the best food...

We ordered a Conga cocktail and received a can of coke, which was corrected when we let the waiter know but the biggest downfall was having to wait almost an hour for the starter. By that time we were on the second round of drinks and the baby was having a full meltdown.

I’m still giving the restaurant four stars as the food itself, although a touch overpriced was in general very good. I would stay clear of the French fries though. They were a spectacular fail! You can’t go wrong with the...

We went there 2 days in a row because we loved our first experience so much! Everything was delicious, both times!!! The service was great, the music was good (latino music). We ordered the mushroom pasta and we loved the bowl shaped pizza dough! The oven baked potato was also to die for!!! And so were the mushrooms and cheese. My dad and I shared the grilled/sizzling chicken on the second day and we both loved it ! Everything that came out of the kitchen looked delicious as well. Out of 6 different dishes we ordered, we would give 5 stars to each of them, especially considering the cheap prices! :) Highly...
