Amazing food. We have been in Mexico for almost a week now and this was by far the best food we’ve had all trip! Everything was perfectly cooked and very well put together. Service was great, just took a bit long for the food to arrive but it was so worth the wait! The meat is the best I’ve ever had.
Absolute FIRE. I’ve tried many tacos this past week and these are the best I’ve had in the area. Highly recommend — especially the shrimp and pork ones. Beautifully presented as well. :)
Wonderful little restaurant! The husband/wife team and the guy who does the grilling do a great job of making you feel welcome. Most importantly the food is amazing! We had molcahete with a mix of 5 proteins and the potato with carnitas. All delicious! Variety of sauces to go with it. I highly recommend the passion fruit margarita!
We visited this roadside cafe twice and truly enjoyed the food — it was delicious and absolutely deserves five stars. However, during our second visit, we waited about 15 minutes for the check, and it felt like we were being a bit overlooked. Even so, we still had a good experience overall and would recommend this place for its excellent food and cozy atmosphere.
It was the best taco I’ve ever had. Everything was awesome but tacos are excellent, it made my day perfect.
I have posted just last night's meal of black rice with shrimps, to demonstrate the skill and artistry of the chef, the taste unfortunately I cannot present. I have eaten several times in this little restaurant, one meal better than the other, both meat and mariscos. The atmosphere is so friendly, like you came home to eat with your siblings. And the place is just called Ko'ox Janal which I was told means Let's Eat in Mayan - what a great name for a great place! Come to no man's land between Macario Gomez and Francisco Uh May and have a great meal! Let's Eat!
If you ever find yourself in this tucked away part of the world, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you didn't indulge in this incredible taco shop. Without a doubt, the best I've ever had. I will be coming back tomorrow! I had the tuna tostadas and one of every taco.
Absolutely fantastic!!! Food amazing. Service joyful and friendly. Atmosphere local relaxed and casual. Incredible hidden gem!!!
