Although it's on the higher end for Valladolid, the service and food are well worth it. We loved the Pook Chuuk and Tikin Xic, beautifully presented, delicious traditional Mayan dishes. The waiters were friendly and attentive. We didn't love the music selection, but you can't have everything!

Incredibly delicious, upscale, Mayan food. Get the grilled watermelon- I'm still dreaming about this. Such a unique culture- why isn't this food more popular?!? All very healthy, very fresh. Exotic fruits and veggies- The Chaya juice was so refreshing. The service impecable. The decor lovely.

The staff were excellent, perhaps too efficient as I could have happily waited longer sipping... More

The bad part about Taberna de los Frailes was finding it - on previous trips we'd eventually given up after driving around. This time we made it, and it was worth it.
