We went there because od good reviews on tripadvisor and because lonely plantes mentions. We ordered a plate with shrimps and they were warm, almost cold! Directly from the freezer? I could not even eat half of the plate, which is a shame. My boyfriend finished his plate and didn't feel well afterwards. Plus: there was not enough rice for so many shrimps.

We admire the mayan culture, customs and this land, its people and their way of being. But enjoying yucatecan food is as exciting as visiting the old mayan cities

Not close to the Zona Hotelera and probably not very visited by foreigners that will most likely spend their money at the expensive fast food places for tourists, I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in order to try the exquisite Yucatán food (20 minutes and 250 pesos by taxi or 30 minutes and 12 pesos by bus and you are at the Labna)Their lunch buffet was cheap (180 pesos plus drinks) and very good: sopa de lima, chocolomo, salbutes, papadzules, cochinita pibil, relleno negro.... and several others up to around 20 choices. The desserts selection was rather poor howeverThe staff was professional and politeThe place is clean and pleasant with a slightly old fashioned local deccorFor dinner, they offer '' a la carte'' menu with local specialities, not as cheap as the lunch buffetMuch better than most of the restaurants at the Zona Hotelera, for sureDear customers:We appreciate you're taking the time to write such a detailed and nice review of our Restaurant, as in our own home, we prepare our dishes with the best ingredients and we serve them with the same love and warmth, we're glad to know that you enjoyed your visit to Labna.We hope we will be seeing you again during your next trip to Cancun.Best regards,Armando Pezzotti

Went to this place as recommended by TripAdvisor. The place is very small and you would not expect all the deliciousness coming from a very small kitchen. Susy and her friend cooked awesome quesadillas, burritos, nachos and chilaquiles for us. It was like being at her house. She was so attentive and even gave us some spaghetti to try. Too bad we discovered this place on our way to the airport. Next time I’m in Cancun I will return to this gem. Mily thank you so much for letting us know your experience at the Deli, your comments motivates us to keep improving everyday. We are so happy that you enjoyed the food that we offer at the Deli. Hope you had a safe trip back home and that you visit us again soon! Greetings!

Reviewed By nycoolchick

Enjoyed my meal just a short walk from my Airbnb. Generous portion of ceviche which was excellent , I was pretty full after the that and the complementary chips when my entree, grilled salmon arrived. Smaller than I expected with a side of generic house salad. But the salmon.. wow.. exploded with flavor and the yogurt dip it came with complemented it well. Perfectly cooked and juicy with crispy skin. I would go back just for that! If the side had been a bit more interesting I would have given it a five star.

Mar Bella is by further the most amazing restaurant I went to, so far in my differents travels. Not just because the food is amazingly good, fresh, so many options with the fish Market style, but also because of Alex Skywalker, that guy is something : smily, entertaining, cares about his customers, in few words : my wife and I feel in love with his spirit. I'll be back soonDear AbdoulayeS71.We want to thank you for telling us about your experience, as well as knowing that you enjoy with us every moment in every drink and dish.We hope to be able to count on your company in the future and continue to offer them the service they deserve.We wish you an excellent day, we hope to see you soon.
