Cocina La Chaya — Restaurant in Cancún

It was such an amazing, authentic experience. We wanted to explore downtown cancun, so we got on orange bus route2. It was a very nice bus ride,got to see some local shops from the window, and the driver dropped us at market28( don't confuse this for Mercado 28) local tourist trap with very high prices. A short walk of 7 mins bought us to Mercado28. You can haggle here,we bought some cool stuff and people were nice and pointed us to local food joint. EMPENADAS was the best I have had in my life. The food was fresh and authentic. Don't expect proper tables and stuff,but even tables were authentic. Our waiter Fredrico was so helpful and friendly. Do try...

We were shopping at this market and stopped to have lunch here. The food was average not the freshness we expected. I ordered shrimp to eat and they brought other kind of shrimp. They charged me for that, apologized for the mistake but didn’t change it. At the end they overcharged me a fried fish and a margarita that didn’t have liquor $380 . Be careful because they change the prices and overcharged you if you look like American. Really bad experience here. In the other hand the market has really good crafts and good prices if you look around. Some are more expensive than others. You have to look around and check prices...

Adored this little restaurant in Market 28, it's one of the oldest around (founded in 1987) really friendly waiter helped explain all the different food options. We went back twice and tries lads of different things, price was amazing at about 1/3 of the restaurant we are at in the evening. Milkshakes were delicious and the perfect pick me up. If you're visiting Mercato 28 do stop by for an energy boost and then carry on shopping. Consina La Chaya is where the locals go for lunch,...
