Where to eat: the 11 best restaurants in Temozon

We just had dinner at “La palomitas de los tamales” and I couldn’t be more satisfied! Great food, great atmosphere and even better service. We were waited by Carina that makes us feel like home, really lovely, funny and professional. If you’re heading to this place ask to be sever by her. Recommended for sure!

A Magical Place in Valladolid Upon arrival the reception was very attentive, the very smiling waitress gave us some recommendations of what to drink and eat, we chose some enchiladas and salbutes that were very delicious, the surprise of some courtesy tequilas and the way she gave us the explanation of how it is done was even more amazing, without a doubt we would return, a very beautiful place but the waitress was exceptional. Thank you very much for this beautiful experience.

Instantly upon entering the well curated atmosphere starts your experience off in style! Style firmly rooted in traditional aesthetics. The warm and friendly staff received us graciously and let us sit wherever we liked and we chose a spot in the beautiful back courtyard. Our server, KARINA, was so sweet and knowledgeable she not only did her job beautifully, but she felt like an instant friend! The food was a mind blowing balance of flavor and texture! We ordered more than we could possibly eat so we could try a variety of these superbly crafted traditional dishes! Portion size was excellent! And pricing is a very good value!

We had dinner here twice and the food was truly delicious. The menu includes typical Yucatecan dishes and it’s also suitable for those with intolerances (in my case gluten and lactose), as you can choose dishes made with corn flour and without dairy. The prices are very reasonable considering the quality of the food and the service.

Great little breakfast. traditional local cuisine. friendly accommodating staff..

the tamal was very unique and different than the typical tamales you get in other parts of mexico. there is a vegetarian one with egg in it. it was yummy! i also got the chaya drink with lemon - super refreshing. the restaurant had open doors and no AC so it was a bit warm.

If you are looking for Tamales this is your place. As good as they come. Vegetarian options too. Carina was lovely and helpful with recommendations

Great food, great service and great view! We would come back 🙂 a Christmas parade went past our window while we were eating. It’s very central and has a good menu with a variety of food. It was nice to try dishes from the Yucatán. The chaya juice was delicious.

Wow, what an absolutely outstanding meal. My husband and I have been blown away by Yucatan cuisine, and this it the most shining example thus far. I can speak to the lime soup, sangria, and ribeye, and can truly say my husband got very sick of hearing me rave about the meal, especially the ribeye. Absolutely delicious meal, one of the best I've had in a long time, with pleasant service and a very cool atmosphere. If this is the only place you eat while in town, you likely won't regret it.

The best food here was the chicken and lime soup. The restaurant was gorgeous, which really raised my expectations for the food. However, the horchata was mid and didn’t taste authentic. It was like syrupy and the color of the milk.

I loved this place. The Undocumented burger was more than enough. They comped my dessert for my birthday, which was very nice of them. Ingrid and Alan gave great service, and I had a view of the park while I enjoyed a nice cappuccino. Thank you for the great experience.

This restaurant is in one of the best locations in Valladolid. We went on a lazy Saturday afternoon desperately looking for a nice break with a TV to watch a soccer World Cup game. The hostess was the best and set the pool area TV for us! Cocktails and appetizers were delicious. The beverages tasted great and looked elegant. The plating of the appetizer was neat and sauces delicious. Definitely a bar to visit and a restaurant to enjoy.

We loved our food. What made it so special is the people who work here, I believe the manager’s name was Luis, and he took good care of us even suggesting a special dinner plate for my dad.

Authentic Mexican culinary experience. We loved this place, a must to have on your itinerary in Valladolid. Good service thanks to Juan Tuz and Sarai !

Stopped in on a rainy day for a late lunch and service was great! Food was delicious and the margaritas were awesome!! Definitely will come back to stay at this hotel. ☺️

Amazing meal - every plate incorporated traditional ingredients and had a different flavor. The plating and presentation were excellent as well. I was with my parents, who are pretty picky eaters, and they enjoyed every dish. Great service and ambience.

We had a wonderful evening at K’uxub! The food was amazing and the staff super friendly and attentive. Atocha was our waiter and he deserves more than a 5 star! Great service and delicious cocktails. Highly recommended - will be back on our next visit.

Food and drinks here are brilliant- great variety within Mexican cuisine, lovely atmosphere (and air con in restaurant!)

Incredible food, the best we had in Valladolid! The ingredients, execution and presentation are all absolutely top notch - and service is fast and attentive too! All the food is locally sourced and each plate is a modern take on a regional classic, with really impressive and refined flavor profiles. The kinda place and talent you’d pay $$$ for (and you would) in say NYC or SF. Wish you could see the gorgeous courtyard oasis from the street, the entrance really doesn’t do justice - but trust me, it’s beautiful!

The restaurant is nice and the staff are friendly but the food was a bit overpriced for what it was. It looked lovely as they’d clearly spent time on presentation but some dishes were a little dry. If you have a couple of days in Valladolid I’d go but it’s not a must do. We were sat by the pool and the fountains were fairly loud, not enough to annoy us but enough that we noticed them rather than them being relaxing.

Amazing food, modern and elegant, but with respect for its Mexican roots. Great cocktails as well and our host Alejandro was absolutely amazing. Also, the scenery is incredible and it is still very reasonably priced! Highly recommended!

I always stop and get cheese and meat. It's always delicious, the also sell beers, and have a Yucatán beer, it's a little expensive, 72 pesos. So if you want to try that, there's table and seat if you want to sit and eat, it's like a restaurant and have restroom 🚻 available. Staff always helpful in preparing the meat and cheese how I want.

The best traditional tacos I've had in Mexico. So dang good I wish my stomach was three times the size so I could keep eating. Have the 4 taco combination.

Stopped by here on the way to Ek Balam (TLDR also not worth it, but the cenote there was worth it). The meat is good, but nothing to write home about if you've ever had Texas bbq. Meat has good flavor and texture but overall was too dry. About $6 USD a meal. The sausage was supposed to be highlight. It's a quaint hole in the wall right off the main road. I don't regret going but wouldn't stop again. We had better food in Valladolid, but this was a cheap quick eat. Good service and nice family restaurant.

The degustation plater was filling even for 4 people. Good variety. Choriso so, so, but the pork and dark sausage were awesome. Bean soup as a starter. Visited because of the polish show where Robert Makłowicz reccomended the place 😅

This is my third visit to Carnes Concepcion and its always a pleasure. My favorite stop while visiting chichen itza. Always recommend the family platter if you have room. Everything on the menu is tasty 😎

Our family stopped here for lunch on the way to Ek Balam. The food was delicious and reasonably priced! The smoked meat was great! We highly recommend this authentic restaurant.

They sell fresh Temazon cured ham, bacon, sausage or carne ahumada, longaniza, chorizo, fresh oaxaca cheese, butter, beers, breakfast

If you enjoy smoked meats STOP in Tezomon. It is a must!! This small town is filled with restaurants specializing in "Amuhado". Get the sample platter. 2 sizes, medium and family. Family size will feed 5 people. Sit in or out. The smoke house is in back, it smells great.

Amazing food, great location, friendly staff. We shared the 1/2 Platón Ahumados. Too much food for 2 people but it was delicious. Complimentary appetizers are to die for. Highly recommend

Excellent food, the smoked meats were tender and juicy. Very clean. Huge restrooms and parking. Parties and catering facilities. Super affordable Very pleased and full stomachs.

Fantastic meat, huge portions and very affordable. Definitely worth a stop when returning from Ek Balam.

Excellent food. The tacos are delicious. Family ambiance.

The food was delicious! I recommend the Fajita de Pollo and the smoked tacos. The services was fantastic and the environment was clean and friendly!

Great service, super yummy food! We had smoked meat hamburgers with fries, tacos, and quesadillas. Everything was great. We sat outside and enjoyed the breeze. We have one celiac in the family and had no problem avoiding gluten.

Loved this place! Very good food at a good price. Other reviews say they don’t speak English - which is pretty true - BUT you ARE in Mexico and they speak Spanish here! Not to worry- just download google translate and use the app and you will be fine. Glad we stopped here.

Amazingly delicious local sausage. Super clean. Friendly staff. Excellent stop for lunch or dinner after visiting Ek’ Balam.

We stopped here on the way back from Ek Balam, and the food was good. We ordered a platter with a selection of meats that came with fresh tortillas and a little bit of greenery. While it tasted nice, we would have preferred to get slightly more vegetables, as the salty meat did get a little overwhelming towards the end of the meal. Our waiter was very kind and serviceminded - and we wouldn't mind eating here again, should we get the chance. The total price came out to 305 pesos for a platter for two people, a bottle of water and a Coca-Cola.

Despite the language barrier, the staff were very pleasant and helpful. I remember remarking to my fiancée how clean and pleasant the dining area was, much more comfortable than the average side-of-the-road lunch stop. The set menu item of a plate of smoked meats, black bean soup, and tortilla chips with pico de gallo and salsa was only 200 pesos for two people and well worth it. Also, the habanero sauce is very, very, very spicy.

Unfortunately the worst experience with restaurant in Mexico. We can't speak Spanish but we can speak only few words and every time we could comunicate with people but in this restaurant they was unfriendly to us. I believe that the food could be great but zero effort to comunicate. I was really sad. We travel around the world and never happened to us until now.

Great meats and really spicy hot sauce! Had the sampler platter for two and it was so good!

Great service. Regarding the food, be careful you might eat your fingers !!!!

(Translated by Google) Excellent experience! The drowned cakes are delicious, and the little songs are very delicious and refreshing. I would definitely return. The owners are from Tequila, Jalisco, and knew how to bring the traditions of their land to Temozón. (Original) ¡Excelente experiencia! Las tortas ahogadas son ricas, y los cantaritos muy deliciosos y refrescantes. Definitivo volvería. Los dueños son de Tequila, Jalisco, y supieron traer las tradiciones de su tierra a Temozón.

Great selection of smoked meats and guacamole was very good! Tortas are a great choice for breakfast, and loved the morcilla. Great place before / after Ek Balam. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Temozon, not to be confused with Tizimin, Tinum or Tekom is the Smoked Meat capital of Mexico. Just a bit off the tourist path north of Valladolid on the way to Rio Lagartos or the Ruins of Ekbalam is not to be missed. Smoked meat shops, there are about 20, line hiway 295. Pick one and enjoy the variety of meats and smoke flavours. Look for the word Ahumado. Most guide books don't even mention this gastronomic delight of a town. Get the variety platter it has a bit of everything and will easily feed 4 people.

Real great experience a every level. Our waitress ( Assumption) and s gentlement very nice helpfull and gracious.

Really good meal, of the best quesadilla I've had

The chrorizo is phenomenal -- probably the best that I've ever had: wonderful spice and smokey flavor. The other smoked meats were just okay. Friendly staff who provide great service.

Amazing. All meat good. Beans and salsa amazing. Tortillas made by hand. Ribs steal the show. Ask for the habanero.

Good tacos. Good prices. Friendly staff.

The chicken fajitas were deliciously marinated. The best I had in Mexico so far. Very big portions. You won't leave this place hungry for sure ;-). David was very kind and efficient. Watched the sunset before dinner. Fair prices.

Wow I love this place! The esthetic is beautiful. The food & drinks are delicious. The waitress that served us is very kind and helpful. Highly recommend trying this place out! Thank you from Tennessee!

We stopped while going back from Ek Balam to Valladolid, and were positively surprised by the food, the service and the atmosphere (good music :)). Quesadillas con camarones were the most delicious from all the food we had while travelling in Mexico! And the price was very reasonable. Thank you very much!!!

The restaurant is situated just off the main road, set back enough to make the road noise disappear. Food, drink and service were exceptional. Pricing is more than fair for the portions served! Would return in a heartbeat!

Happened into here between Las Coloradas and Chichen Itza when my friend got peckish. How pleasantly surprised we were when we were presented with a magnificent fresh meal big portions in a great palapa! They even brought a fan out to cool us down! Dig the photos! Everything was just spot on! If you get the chance this place is worth the stop! I’m a few miles down the road and my palate and tum tum are still happy!😆

Lemonade with cucumber was perfectly refreshing only a little bit sweet but not too sweet. All the food tasted fresh and very good. The service was very friendly. Overall probably best restaurant for really good money if you're on your way to Ek Balam

Had a terrible experience. First, we got completely soaked because it rained inside. We moved to another table that wasn't wet, but we had to move again. While eating, they turned the music up extremely loud. It was so loud that it hurt my kids' ears. We asked them to lower the volume a bit, but they refused.

(Translated by Google) Everything is very delicious, warm, good service, somewhat normal price. Accessible...I traveled from Tabasco to discover the wonders of Valladolit.😁 (Original) Muy delicioso todo .calientito .buen servicio ..precio algo normal. Accesible ..viajè de tabasco para conocer las maravillas de valladolit.😁

(Translated by Google) Perfect location Just outside Temozón on the road to Tizimín. The place was clean with plenty of tables, the service was quite fast, and the prices were actually very high compared to other restaurants in town. The food tasted very good although we only ordered the smoked meat accompanied by onions, sauces, beans, handmade tortillas, which was the magical touch of the meal. They also sell some species in syrup and canned. But I insist that the price is a little higher than normal. (Original) Ubicación perfecta A las afueras de temozón en el camino hacia tizimín. El lugar limpio con bastantes mesas el servicio bastante rápido los precios a decir verdad se me hicieron muy altos en comparación con otros restaurantes del pueblo. El sabor de la comida muy bien aunque sólo pedimos la carne Ahumada acompañado de cebollitas salsas frijolitos tortillas hechas a mano que fue el toque mágico de la comida. También venden algunas especies en almíbar y en conservas Pero insisto que el precio es un poco más elevado de lo normal.

(Translated by Google) Excellent place and good service, two points the portions are one point larger, and checking the bill for the smiles sometimes adds up badly. But delicious seasoning. It has a splash pad for kids (Original) Excelente lugar y buena atención, dos puntos las porciones son un punto más grandes, y checar la cuenta por la sonrisas a veces se suma mal. Pero sazón delicioso. Cuenta con chapoteadero paramos peques

(Translated by Google) A very nice place, very helpful and every time I visit with my wife, it is obligatory to eat here, 100% recommended, very delicious, very clean, the tortillas are on hand, super, stop to eat, you won't regret it, greetings from Cancun (Original) Un lugar muy agradable muy servicial y cada que paso con mi esposa obligatorio comer aquí recomendable al 100% muy rico muy limpio las tortillas a mano super paren a comer no se arrepentirán saludos desde cancun

(Translated by Google) There isn't much to choose from, especially if you've just left Ek Balam. I don't know if it was due to hunger or the taste of the meat, but I found it to have a very good flavor, dishes not suitable for vegans. Acceptable prices. (Original) No hay mucho de donde escoger y más si acabas de salir de Ek Balam. No se si por el hambre o el sabor de la carne pero la encontre con muy buen sabor, platillos no aptos para veganos. Precios aceptables.

(Translated by Google) The meat is very rich and soft. I didn't eat in the restaurant, I ordered takeout. Very fast and friendly attention. (Original) La carne muy rica y suavecita. No comí en el restaurante, pedí para llevar. La atención rapidísima y cordial.

(Translated by Google) Delicious smoked meat! The red sauce they sell packaged is super spicy but delicious! (Original) Deliciosa carne ahumada! La salsa roja que venden envasada es super picosa pero riquísima!
