If you are craving for some authentic local cuisine with a great ambiance, great service and away from the crowds from Papantla's downtown:
This is your place.
My family loved that much this place when we had dinner that we came back to have brunch a couple days later.
This place should be considered a must if you are in town.
Everything was perfect the 2 times we stopped by: service was great (the 2 servers we got were really attentive and kept an eye on my party to make sure we didn't need anything else, which is uncommon in MX), food came out quickly, the portions were big, the food was delicious, the wait was not that long, there was parking on the premises and the entire place was clean.
At the end of our meals we had enough leftovers for the next meal 😋
Although, we were told that sometimes the waiting times could be really long (i guess we were lucky), i can say with confidence that it is worth it.
In terms of recommendations, everything we tried was perfect. Including the drinks, they even make a really good Campechana (the same drink you can get in downtown Papantla in the little stall by the park)
Next time we are in town we will make sure to come back again.
