La Orden del Gallo — Restaurant in Bacalar

Over-rated! The placed looked lovely from the street side and the ceviche sign pulled us in. The menu said traditional ceviche but we didn't get what we expected as Mexican ceviche. The shrimp seemed undercooked and no tortilla chips companied it. Not to mention portion side was underwhelming. Tacos were over priced (picture not taken but 3 were given for about US$21) and not what I expected as traditional Mexican tacos. The arachera was cooked good but the tortilla was fried and not soft like traditional tacos. The pizza looked good but the center was extremely thin and not filling even for a child while the crust of the pizza was extremely fluffy and tasted like something else other than a pizza crust. The drinks? I got a piña colada but it was depressing. There was faint taste of coconut milk and pineapple juice. Not sweet by any means. If you're looking for a instagramable place, yes this is the spot. Hungry and looking for a satiating meal? No do...

I ordered the shrimp burger, and it came with fries and the actual hamburger patty, guacamole, etc etc, with shrimp. Normally I'm a person who can eat well and I came prepared with my hunger, but this was uncomfortably too rich. I should have asked to get my last bites packed up, but what seemed like only 1 bite left was still a lot to digest. I would recommend adding different sizes or bringing the beef patty portion down (and hence the price too) by just 15- 20% (and diminishing the salt a bit, too). I also ordered the artisanal gallo beer via recommendation, not bad, a little more citrusy than what I'm used to but a nice change from your typical beer. I sat at the top patio, overlooking the street. Nice view good music and vibe. It's worth checking out- overall...

Love this place. Catching the breeze on the terrace. Super delicious pizza. We had the garlic shrimp pizza and the Supreme. Both excellent. Nice thin crust. Shrimp pizza had a slightly spicy oil fresh garlic. Delicious. Supreme fresh tomatoes peppers very good. My hobbies margaritas were the bomb and my fruit smoothie was to yummy. We read reviews before we came here. Someone said it was over rated. Not my experience at all. Very welcoming lovely staff, excellent food and drinks and very good alternative music. Not your normal jazzy remixes but actual original music. We recommend you try...
