KI'IS Restaurant by Francisco Ruano

Just had a fantastic time at the Michelin recommended restaurant. The entrance to get to the hotel is also very fun. The restaurant is deep with in the hotel, there is some small gravel se toon to get to the restaurant but you can walk or golf cart it there. We did the tasting menu. All dishes were amazing. Not one dish was a fail. We had a DJ playing live music with vinyl records. Nice touch!

We had the tasting menu, added the lechón à la carte, and ordered the Ki’Is Colada for drinks. The tasting menu was a 2.5–3 hour fine dining experience with beautifully presented dishes. The price has increased to 2,900 MXN (up from 1,900 MXN, based on a photo from 9 months ago). The lechón portion also appears to have shrunk—ours came with just two pieces, compared to the 3–4 larger pieces shown in earlier reviews. Some dishes, like the fish and lamb entrée, were unfortunately quite dry, so I ended up sticking with just the lechón as my main. The short rib that one member in our party got was decent but not memorable. The geoduck sashimi was fresh and flavorful—the kind of dish where the quality of the premium ingredient really shines. It felt more like a celebration of the ingredient itself than of any elaborate preparation. That said, the standout dishes truly wowed us—especially the lobster taco, lechón (a must!), and calamar. These dishes were truly 10/10. I had high expectations for the lechón after seeing the photos, and it certainly delivered- crispy skin with soft, moist meat. The KI’Is Colada was so good we ordered it again… and again… and kept them coming! Overall, I would give this place 4-4.3 stars.

Amazing food and service. Our waiter Uriel was incredible and explained all the dishes and drinks really well. Relaxing atmosphere. Mr. Mike surprised us with some cool drinks. Will come back!

We had the loveliest meal here, particularly with our thoughtful, affable, and hilarious server Uriel. We would return just for him! :)

Ki'is was simply amazing. A true treat for your palate. Many of the dishes being complex, yet delicious. While staying at The Riveria Maya Edition at Kanai, we dined at Ki'is for our anniversary. Our waiter was phenomenal and assisted us in picking out some delectable cocktails and cuisines during our dining experience. We started with the Hibiscus Mescalita. It had a very refreshing yet smoky taste. Our waiter provided us with champagne since we were celebrating our anniversary and let us try a complimentary chef's dish, Salebute, which was the perfect bite that was packed with flavor. We had the Carne Apache for our appetizer. My husband and I had an open mind ordering this, as it wasn't our first choice; however, it turned out to be really, really tasty. For entrees, we ordered the Braised Short Rib. Don't even think about ordering anything else, GET THIS! It was such a unique dish but composed perfectly. The meat was cooked to perfection. So tender, a knife is not needed. The accompaniments were paired perfectly. The overall dish was outstanding. To end the night, we ordered the Jericalla without coconut flakes (due to a food allergy) and hot chocolate. The Jericalla is similar to creme brûlée. It was really good as well. This dining experience couldn't get any better than this. If you're looking for an elevated but fresh, delicious, and innovative dining experience, check out Ki'is!

We had a wonderful experience here. Everything came out fresh and delicious, and the atmosphere was great. Huge shoutout to our waiter Uriel, who was kind, patient, and checked on us just the right amount. Highly recommend the place!

We had one of the best meals we’ve had in months. This restaurant could go head to head with some of the Michelin restaurants in NYC. Super inventive and tasty. Will probably go again while on vacation .

We had an unforgettable experience enjoying the tasting menu with wine pairing—every course was exceptional, both in flavor and presentation. The space is stunning, with serene whites and beiges that create a calming, elegant atmosphere. What truly set the evening apart, though, was the staff: incredibly attentive and genuinely kind, even with the two toddlers dining with us. We highly recommend this restaurant!
