Customers rave about the incredible flavors and unique preparation of the grilled chicken. Mathis Erichsen highlights the generous whole chicken meal, which comes with tortillas, rice, and an array of salsas, making it a satisfying choice for a group. Similar sentiments are echoed by Amber Lam, who appreciates the excellent seasoning and the fresh ingredients that accompany the dish, enhancing the overall dining experience.

Incredible Chicken grilled over charcoal with tortillas, rice, soup and salsas. We ordered a whole chicken for 4 people which was plenty, and cheap. The family running the place was really nice and welcoming as well! Their restaurant burned down two years ago and rebuilt it to keep going. A definite must-visit place after a day at Chitchen Itza!

Carbon grilled chicken here is excellent—tastes amazing and smells wonderful. It’s served with some vegetables and soup, making for a well-rounded meal. The couple who own the place are warm and friendly.

220MEX for 2 beautiful bbq lunches and 2 beers. We were so happy to come here and eat the fantastic grilled marinated chicken with all the trimmings - plantain, onion, pineapple, pepper, corn, rice, mango. Everything was cooked to perfection and nicely seasoned. You also get a free, small bowl of tomato soup with pasta - nice! The staff are friendly and welcoming. Great, no frill, authentic experience. I'm a little jealous that I can't be the grill master here :)

Eat there!! Excellent food, service, and ambiance. We stopped here after visiting Chichen Itza. We loved it so much, we stopped again on our way back from Merida. We ordered a whole chicken for our family of four. It comes with tortillas, soup, rice, cabbage salad, pineapple, and onions. We paid 170 pesos for food, plus 25 for juices.

We stopped here for lunch after visiting Chichen Itza. The interior is very basic but don’t let that fool you. They offer one menu, namely a plate of chicken made on the bbq with salad, pineapple, banana and rice - and it’s very very good for an excellent price (100 pesos per person). Service is also wonderful. Would highly recommend lunching here if you pass by.
