Chile Picante

Great food, absolutely wonderful friendly service and amazing cocktail. We had shrimp tacos, vegetarian enchiladas, another vegetarian dish, large beer and a maguerita maya (highly recommend) costing just over 600 mxn. We were there early evening and the only ones upstairs but many locals were drinking downstairs in the bar area.

Friendly Staff and delicious food. Great place to try lots of Mexican classic dishes and some Mayan food as well. For English speaking travelers, the menus are available in English but none of the staff spoke English during my visit.

We stopped for lunch after a visit yo the ruins on our guides recommendation. Enjoyed the guacamole and pico. Our other food was good as well.

Lovely owners, a hotel as well, go and stay and be in the ruins really early. Then swim in the truly awesome Cenotes out of town.

I was little bit disappointed, after month at Mexico this was the worst what I was served. The food was cold, not spicy at all. They gave us 4 tortillas per food. There are no other salsas as I was used to from other place. Taste of the food was OK.

Vegetarian panuchos were really good! Unfortunately when it got dark mosquitos became unbearable and we needed to end our dinner quickly.

Had a delicious meal at Chile Picante! Our waitress was very nice, and the Cochinita Pibil and Pollo Pibil were both delicious. We stocked up on beer and a few snacks at the shop below after our meal too. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

We tried several tacos with different meats and they all were amazing. Definitely stop at this place when visting the Coba Ruins.

Great food and location! I got the veggie enchiladas verde and my guy got the Pollo pibil- chicken cooked in a traditional Mayan style. The portions were huge but we still ate it all in one sitting. Great drinks too- fresh fruit juices, milkshakes and smoothies. The view of the sunset was gorgeous. Very convenient to our hotel at Mayahau right behind.

We stopped here after taking a guided tour, we decided to get the limousine bike ride (seated cart with driver behind pedaling us around) which was a great idea. We were greeted with a smile and took a seat at one of the outside tables, although the restaurant is an open air format. We enjoyed the lime soup (tortilla soup) that had chicken and tortilla chips very flavorful, ceviche (shrimp & octopus), empanadas (corn tortillas with pork in achiote sauce), guacamole chips & salsa (fresh and medium heat). The service was excellent, open, understanding, and helpful. We relished the break and enjoyed theirs hospitality. Food is great. This is definitely a restaurant that I will revisit.
