El Jacal del Huinic cocina yucateca is a delightful gem nestled in Playa del Carmen, where authentic Yucatecan cuisine comes to life. Patrons consistently rave about the genuine flavors and homey atmosphere that make this restaurant a must-visit for both locals and tourists. Highlighted by Martin E. Aburto's review, the clean ambiance and friendly service quickly draw you in, setting the stage for a memorable dining experience.

Signature dishes like the empanadas de chaya receive high praise from Antonio Garcia, while Ivonne Benitez commends the attentive service, which helped navigate the menu's rich selections. A unique offering is the dogfish bread paired with hibiscus water, celebrated for its local touch, and the refreshing aguas frescas further enhance the culinary journey.

Despite minor critiques regarding the greasiness of some empanadas, as noted by Vladimir Koci, the overall quality remains impressive. The restaurant's dedication to Yucatecan snacks and traditional dishes, coupled with excellent service, promises satisfaction for anyone craving the region's rich flavors. Highly recommended for a taste of Yucatán's cuisine, El Jacal del Huinic delivers an experience that feels both welcoming and authentic.

This place is great if you want a sampling of dishes typical of the area. Our server was wonderful and noticed that we did not know what many of the items were on the menu. She offered to bring a little bit of everything and she did not disappoint! The aguas frescas were delicious and artesial.

Small local restaurant with good selection of Yucatecan food. Excellent Chilaquiles. Good Empanadas but a little too greasy for my taste. Very nice service.

There are very few places where they sell Yucatecan snacks. This is one of those. The place is clean, the service is good. The dishes are very good. I ordered dogfish bread with hibiscus water, I couldn't order dessert because I ended up quite satisfied with the main dish. Highly recommended if you are craving food with a Yucatecan touch.

The chilaquiles at Cocinita Pibil are exquisite, as are their panuchos and queso bola quesadillas! And I've already returned; the food is always delicious. You just have to be very patient, as it takes a while for the food to arrive at your table. Be mentally prepared. It would be nice if the waiters would let you know in advance... They need more attention to their amenities, as the bathroom door needs a little painting or a thorough cleaning. There's a lot of room for improvement in this area.
