There is only one thing and that's Huevos Motuleno and they do a great job at it. The place was packed 10am on Thursday many visitors from Merida and different parts of the State, Country and foreigners visiting Yucatan were present. The food comes in 2 versions 2 or 3 eggs everything else is the same. Eggs are fried to your liking and serve on a tortilla with black beans, I would say it might even be a tostada and another tortilla on top like a sandwich which you can't really see because of the delicious tomato, ham, sweet peas and probably other ingredients, place on top making every bite very tasty. In addition you get some hot bread to accompany the dish which can be used to dip in the sauce that is generously place on the eggs. Bread was also good. You get with this a drink not much to choose, 3 options that day horchata, hibiscus (jamaica) or coke regular or diet. We also went for the cake desserts they had as another business hangs around offering their products we stuck to Dona Evelia for consistency. We had a cake with queso de bola, banana cake and nata cake (not sure what that is probably milk). All 3 were pretty good and were large pieces so we took some home. You can probably share each one with another person. The place is packed and a bit noisy because of the packed tables but very friendly and fast service. Price very reasonable 4 people was 415 pesos plus I gave server a tip that amount is your option. Definitely would go back it's about 1 hour drive from Merida most of it is getting to the main road otherwise it would be 30 to 40 mins. Enjoy these traditional eggs that originated...
Read moreMy wife and I visited this place so as to taste the famous Huevos Motuleños on our latest trip through Yucatan and Quintana Roo.
After our landing at Merida Airport, my wife and I were quite starving, so, we decided to commute to Motul to have some Huevos Motuleños as breakfast, it was a 45 minutes drive from the airport.
We parked our car just aside the Carrillo Puerto Park which is some few steps from the November 20 Municipal Market, where Doña Evelia’s Venue is located.
The place is settled at the upper level and almost a half of the floor is owned by Doña Evelia’s place, it has enough room to sit very huge groups, surely you will always find a table.
The service is fair, not too slow, not as fast, just be patient.
The crew is very friendly and attentive, if you request flavoured water, your glass is refillable.
The main dish, huevos Motuleños are impresive, tasty and deliciosos, what we liked the most is the habanero chilli taste, its flavour is unique and adds a spicy touch to your meal. The course is served along with beans and fried banana slices.
If you are not used to eat spicy food, be careful, this dish adds habanero as a main ingredient and tends to...
Read moreWe stopped here on the way to Chichén Itzá. It was only 25mins from where we are staying in Telchac Puerto. Very cute little town. This area was buzzing and the market was open and busy which was nice. All units were up and open and full of items for sale. We didn’t have much time to look around, but what we saw was nice. The building itself was clean and filled with nice smells.
It had two floors. We had breakfast at Dona Evelia’s which is better than we expected. We’ve been in Mexico over two weeks so far and this by far was the tastiest meal we’ve had. The service was fantastic and the place was very clean. The meal includes a side of fried plaintain, unlimited drink (ice tea, Jamaica or horchata) and a bottomless basket of bread. For four people we paid a total of $410 which is unbelievable.
We will definitely be back for more huevos motulenos!
UPDATE: We came back the next day for breakfast again and it was just as good as the first time! This time we had the postres as well. We ordered one of each: carrot cake, banana cake and milk cake. They were delish! Had to pack them up because they were so big! There was live music this day which...
