Alta Gula — Restaurant in Quintana Roo

This Argentinian gem adds to the wonderful collection of culinary experiences on the island. The arepas fresh dough was made in front of our eyes, cooked and stuffed with delicious ingredients, we ordered the chicken and the beef arepas. Their artisan sodas were great as well. A storm arrived when our food was ready to take out and during the downpour the restaurant staff kindly ordered a taxi to pick me and my 6 yr old up (she loved the bar swings btw) to go directly to our hotel.

I still don't understand how we waited between 40-50 min to receive 2 cold empanadas even though there was 3 cooks for ~10 customers. The waitress was kind and asked us (quite too late) if we wanted new ones but we had already eaten them and it would have been too much food. The portobello sandwich is clearly the highlight. Thanks otherwise it would have been a sad last dinner in Holbox. Though the tasty-looking, yet undercooked roasted potatoes were there to tarnish the final act and turned the meal into an...
