Im from the USA, I went here with all my bridesmaids (11 of us) for dinner and it couldn't have been more magical being on the edge of the jungle enjoying the freshest guacamole I've ever had. I even went back when my fiance, his brother and my future sister inlaw. My future brother inlaw hates avocados, I told him if he was going to try guacamole again, that this was the best and he'd be passing up a good opportunity. He tried it and Loved it!! We ended up having to order more, and went back 2 more times.You want real, local, and delicious food, Come here!! Also being from the USA it can be scary to travel I felt super safe and welcomed!! AND THE MAIN CORSES ARE FREAKING INCREDIBLE TOO

Highly recommend checking out Chemuyil and with it, La Palapa, if you are looking for a cool, quiet village and great place to eat, relax, have fun. Food ranges from tacos to lobster and prawns (in season/on special). Everything good, atmosphere and price awesome. They even have a karaoke night when we were pleasantly surprised by some great talent. Check it out

This was a great find thanks TripAdvisor! Once you see the police station in the Pueblo turn right and it will be down one block. It closes at 8 p.m. not 9. This is family owned and they take pride in the restaurant. My son said it was the best beef tacos he's ever had. I had a Mexicana quesadilla and that was fabulous. I love going to a local places! Great food and cheap. We rode our bikes here the first time. The second time we took a taxi from Del Sol condos it was 6 US dollars.

We were enticed by the smoke from the barbecue and decided it was time for lunch. We had a ribs and chicken which were both delicious with the tray of accompaniments. Service was fast and friendly but we did wish that we had asked prices before as it felt like they were making prices up as the went along. Over 400 pesos for one small plate of 5 ribs and half a chicken donât seem to fit with other prices mentioned. Not that itâs bad value including a couple of beers.

We visited in May. The Margarita is like rocket fuel! We were slighted disappointed that the prawns were over cooked, and the fish (whole snapper) which we asked to be grilled, was undercooked when first served to us, and overcooked and slightly smugly served as âcrispyâ when it was returned to us. Frequented by lots of locals but we preferred the Bakery and Jungle Fish.

While still one of the most scenic restaurants in Akumal i'm afraid they are slipping .Service is a problem last time we were there there were only three servers and two looked lost. Upon entering we were seated right away .Seemed to be some confusion as to who would be the server .Finally got the drink order in but it sits at the bar for like 5-7 minutes .I could have just walked up faster its literally 10ft away and served myself but that would have been rude so i watched my drink and waited .Drinks arrive and menu order is taken .10 minutes pass and no waiter & no food I have to ask the other waiter to please check .Meal is good not great, was going to order wine and desert but again my waiter is lost .I ask waiter # 2 to check for my guy for the bill I see my guy looking at the computer lost finally another waiter assists him Management needs to take a ride to Lol-Ha to retrain staff

We had lunch here after Yal Ku lagoon at the recommendation of someone who'd been coming to Akumal for years. Food was good, lots of options, and quick, friendly service.
