This was part of a tour to Chichen Itza, a lunch stop on the way back. We had lots of choices, and were pleased with all of the food. Portions were far too large for us, but others may like having so much. I especially liked the salsa.

After our Chitzen Itza tour we stopped here for a buffet lunch that centred around regional cuisine.Dishes included: ⢠eggs with chaya (tree spinach) ⢠rice ⢠refried beans ⢠tamales ⢠chicken Valladolid style ⢠fried tortillas with tomato sauce ⢠pulled pork Yucatecan style ⢠chilaquiles - fried tortilla strips typically topped with a spicy tomato sauce, onions and cheese. There was an international section for people with less adventurous(?) appetites including: ⢠hamburger sliders ⢠chicken fajitas ⢠fish fingers ⢠mashed potatoes ⢠spaghetti â cream and tomato sauce ⢠nachos with cheese ⢠vegetable soup ⢠mixed vegetables (similar to what you buy in frozen food section at home)I sampled all of the Yucatecan regional dishes and the dishes were okay. The lime soup was really tasty.The horchata (beverage made with rice) was tasty and refreshing.My spouse had a strawberry daiquiri that cost 75 pesos.Desserts were limited to jello, mango pudding and sherbet. There was also a limited fruit selection â oranges and watermelon.There was also a very limited salad section â lettuce and the usual accompaniments including cucumbers and tomatoes.Near the end of the meal there was entertainment â dancing by locals including dancing while balancing bottles on their heads.Ratings Breakdown ⢠Quality and taste â nothing spicy at all; overall good tasting food. 3.5 out of 5 rating. ⢠Quantity vis-à -vis price â hard to say what the price was but itâs a buffet and was included as part of the excursion package.

The Hacienda grounds are just beautiful and the buffet price for lunch was quite reasonable. Drinks are extra. The assortment of food was not very extensive but adequate. I cannot say that there was anything truly exceptional and we would have hoped for a soup choice. It was pretty empty at first and then busloads came in and the lines just grew and and grew. The plates were not that large and I felt badly for those on the buses as they probably could not really put much on the tiny plates. We had time so were able to go for seconds eventually. Two groups of dancers presented short dance presentations as well and asked for tips on the way out. A walk on the Hacienda grounds was the real highlight.
