Cocina Tradicional de Maní — Restaurant in Maní

I saw on Google maps that it said "Cocina Tradicional" and I was sold. There was a couple there halfway through their meal when I arrived with my parents, my wife and three kids (girls). My wife and mom split a pitcher of horchata. The girls, my dad, and I split two pitchers of limonada con chaya. That lemonade was amazing! We ordered the empanadas de chaya (which were to die for) and an 8-piece botanitas (which were also amazing). Watch out for the salsita, it's delicious and no joke! After a failed attempt at cochinita pibli (Pueblo Pibil), my mom ordered it again and it was divine. My dad and I ordered the Poc Chuc. It was very good. The taste of the wood on the meat was delectable. My wife was in the mood for Sopa de Lima and they went and made it for her without it being on the menu that day. Luis Miguel was our server and his wife was cooking that day. His grandmother, Dona Clotilde was taking a break from cooking, though we met her and her husband. Luis Miguel's three little girls came out and played with my kids in the garden. They shared stories of what they plant and harvest and what they use daily. Their tortillas (handmade) were delicious. What an amazing destination for homemade cooking. We...

Rica la comida, es indiscutible el buen sazón, lástima la actitud de un trabajador que nos ha tocado hoy.

Hoy 3 de Agosto del 2025, llegué al restaurante con mi gatito en una transportadora y un mesero con una actitud para nada amigable y que tampoco se veía en su cara, nos dijo: "No se aceptan perros, ahí lo dice".

No nos molestó la política del restaurante, también tenemos negocio y lo entendemos perfectamente, lo que nos molestó fue la actitud del mesero y la forma en que nos lo dijo. Veníamos cansados, con ganas de comer en un lugar donde sabemos era intachable en todo, y terminamos por irnos con la tristeza del alma porque sabíamos que antes era pet-Friendly. 😓

Realmente espero que su mesero mejore su actitud y sus habilidades de comucacion, porque son esos empleados que no ayudan a que el negocio prospere y mas bien aleje a su cliente potencial. Es un maravilloso lugar y toda la vida hemos ido ahí cada que viajamos a Yucatán, lo cuál amabamos porque siempre nos ha tocado buenos meseros con una habilidad de asertividad increíble y una comida sensacional, en cambio, esta vez nos tocó irnos con mal sabor en la boca.

YA NO ES pet-Friendly amigos. Por cierto, no era un perro, era...
