Wow...if you stay in El Cuyo, THIS is the place you were hoping to find. This is a small Cafe restaurant that is owned and operated by a family. Service is of course attentive and they speak Spanish, English and French. The proprietor Jonathan is from France and his wife is from Mexico and they prepare an amazingly high-end local Mexican fare with hints of European flavors. It is clear that everything is made with passion from the Agua frescos, Berrian de res, and of course the tamales Chocolat. And everything is hand made right there, fresh. Jonathon said he managed a popular restaurant in Tulum, then a year ago, they moved to El Cuyo to open their own place. They have quickly established themselves IMHO as the best place to eat in town. You will not be...
Read moreEverything about this place is top class.
I had an amazing chilaquiles breakfast while watching football live on my laptop (amazing internet).
The jalapeno poppers were delicious, we also had guacamole and Chile relleno for dinner which were also amazing and beautifully presented. Don't miss the deserts.. we had the triple chocolate tamales (heaven for chocolate lovers!)
We had some great drinks. Try the Carajillo if you want the Mexican version of a espresso martini.
And the service? Wow! They have raised the bar very high in this regard as well. You will not get anything better in the Yucatan peninsula.
Thank you Monica and Jon and the rest of the team! We will definitely try some more dishes...
Read moreAbsolutely delicious! Each bite of our meal was like a little party in our mouth. We had the Enchilda Suizas with chicken and cheese (roja & verde). It was such a fresh tasting meal. The suppers are all delicious , as well as the lime dessert (Carlota).The owner speaks English, French and Spanish and serves the tables. The drinks were also delicious, we had Guava/tamarind juice, which had a really light and fresh taste, the Horchata (rice water/cinnamon) was delicious also, and the coffee was fresh and tasty! They are open 7 days a week for breakfast/lunch/supper, which not many are… so it’s nice to count on them...
