Really lovely spanish colonial courtyard restaurant which only becomes mexican when you open the menu. My only regret is that we were short of time and I was having to drive, or we could have settled in to a really good two hour lunch here. The mainly local clientelle indicates quality. Our two main courses were both well cooked and... More

My husband and I stayed for two nights in Valladolid at the Hotel Meson de Marque. Since we arrived fairly late, we decided to eat dinner in the Hotel's restarant. The service, atmosphere, location, food was so top quality, we ate there every meal during our stay. I give the Hotel and Restaurant top ratings in all areas.

Right across from the main square is an entry way you might just miss - don't.this is a cool and lovely spot with tables set around a courtyard. The menu is extensive and the food is truly delicious and reasonable. Be adventurous and choose something different like Stuffed Cheese Valladolid style, and definitely try one of their juice concoctions.

The atmosphere is amazing, a pretty courtyard with lots of flowers and a bubbling fountain. The food was incredible- we had the queso relleno and the cochinita pibil, we are still talking about the meal. Our waiter was wonderful, eager to share stories with us about traditional Mayan cooking, and we would go again in a second! This is a... More

We really enjoyed our meal at El Meson del Marques in Valladolid. My husband had the cochinita pibil and i had some "yucatan platter" or something like that. It all tasted very good.

We stayed at the hotel, primarily because last time through we ate at this restaurant and just love the grounds. The restaurant has the best atmosphere we have experienced, bar none. The food is just adequate, however. But the jicama margarita is superb, and you can just soak up that courtyard for hours.

This quaint little place was recommended to us by the taxi driver we had employed for our sightseeing daytrip. El Meson de Marques sits right on the main square of Valladolid and is the restaurant of the hotel with the same name. Keeping in mind that this is a small town, kind of away from the most intense touristy commerce... More

Loved the yucatecan style, decor, patio...everything it's the way it's supposed to be. The food is delicious, the service is great and, although a bit pricey, it's well worth the visit/stay.

We stopped over at this restaurant for lunch after Chichen Itza thanks to our guide book. The restaurant was a bit hard to find thanks to all the one way streets but when we got there we were impressed. The atmosphere is wonderful and relaxing,sitting out in the courtyard of the hotel with open air. It's the kind of place... More

After seeing Ek Balam and swimming in the cenote there, we took a taxi back to Valladolid and sought out El Meson del Marques for lunch. They gave us a nice table near the fountain. The service was excellent - the most attentive service we had furing our entire trip (we were in Tulum). I had the chicken with coconut... More
