mexican restaurants

anyone been to playa cabana? is it just a restaurant, or is there a pool and stuff? is it nice?

also - i want to go out for a mexican dinner one night. which place is better - la destileria, paloma bonita, casa de las margaritas, hacienda sisal? if you've been to any of them and they suck, let me know. lol

 

Hi I have been to a few... La destileria is alright its a chain they do more traditional mexican stuff its not too bad. Las Margaritas is good not great.

If you want traditional mexican yucatan food head to Labna (http://www.labna.com) or La Habichuela (http://www.lahabichuela.com) I prefer the later they are located in the city not the hotel zone. Owned by the same people.

 

yeah, i heard that la habichuela is great.. i'm just not sure how adventurous my boyfriend is gonna be / if he's going to want to leave the hotel zone..

 

The city is not bad at all. Def a diff feel than the hotel zone but its perfectly safe and actually a nice break from the hotel zone.

 

can we move this discussion into cancun info too?

 

sure what do u want to know?

 

i just wanted to move the discussion into the 'cancun info' forum too, because maybe the people over there have been to these restaurants too

 

I can do that for ya...

 

rockrgrrrl,

Just keep it simple and to to La Casa del las Margaritas. It is at Plaza La Isla which is around km 12 in the Hotel Zone. An easy bus ride.

Your comment about your b/f may not wanting to leave the hotel leads me to believe that this is the best recommendation.

But if you can drag him to downtown there are many great eating options and then you can go to Avenida Yaxchilan and hit some of the clubs there. There is nothing big like Coco Bongo but there is live music, the drinks are always 2 for 1 which works out to about $2 US per beer or simple mixed drink.

Send me a PM if you want directions or details.

 

thanks a lot!!
