Manjar Blanco, a smaller restaurant, which comes highly recommended by locals, a top chef we spoke to, as well as international food bloggers. It features a menu with pretty much only local Yucatecan food. Our favourite dishes here were the Sopa De Lima and the Cochinita Pibil. This was our favourite restaurant. The dishes had some slight variations to the standard dishes, while still remaining authentic. Service was very good as well.
Kim, what a terrific suggestion. This was our final meal after a week in the Yucatan. It was a pleasure to find some unique dishes. We ate lightly, but thoroughly enjoyed both tortillitas tropicales, a mix of corn and banana fritters with shredded pork on top, and lomitos de Valladolid, cubes of pork in a tomato sauce in a cream sauce. Their chips were served with a tasty black bean paste. We couldn't have been happier with our meal.
