“ The food is amazing and the prices very very good. I had fish fillet Veracruz style which was great and Blue Bacalar Margarita which was 99 compared to one I had at Tulum which was good but expensive. This restaurant is a must if you want to experience Mexican food. Service was great ”
“ Value is incredible. Got my tuna burger with shrimps for 210, the beer for 34 pesos. This makes a proper lunch for about 13. For quite a touristic area this really is a bargain. I recommend this place to you guys. 5* for sure (and this from a picky German feller lol) ”
“ Lovely family owned busineess. Best Mexican steak and cactus in town. I go here everytime I visit. Bacalar from Australia.. Best passion fruit margarita. ”
“ Restaurante Sazon a la Mexicana is hands down one of the best meals we had in Bacalar. If you're looking for authentic, homemade Mexican food that hits all the right notes — this is the spot. The place feels cozy and welcoming, and the service was kind, fast, and genuinely attentive. Now let’s talk food: I ordered the shrimp burger on a whim, and it blew me away. I wasn’t expecting much more than a novelty item, but what I got was a perfectly cooked, well-seasoned shrimp patty that was juicy and flavorful, topped with fresh veggies and a creamy sauce on a soft, toasted bun. It was both satisfying and surprisingly light. Absolutely delicious and unlike anything I’ve had elsewhere in Mexico. My partner had the enchiladas suizas, which came smothered in a tangy green sauce with melted cheese and tender chicken inside. Every bite was comforting and rich without being heavy. We also shared a side of guacamole and sipped on homemade agua de maracuya — both fresh and flavorful. The whole experience felt like we were being fed by someone’s loving tia — the kind who makes sure you’re full before you even finish your plate. The salsas on the table were clearly made in-house, and each one had a different personality, from smoky heat to citrusy brightness. Prices are more than fair for the generous portions and quality. It’s not touristy, just the real deal — a place where locals and in-the-know travelers come to eat well. Highly recommend the shrimp burger, but honestly, everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked amazing. We’ll definitely be back! ”

“ Food was delicious (tacos and guacamole). Really good prices! Everything is freshly made (know that you might wait longer for your food if the restaurant is full). About 4-6 tables. ”
“ Very delicious food for fair prices. We tried the tuna burger and the Maya fish, both tasted amazing. ”
“ My husband and I ate here for the first time visiting!! 12/10 I ordered the carne and enchiladas with guacamole and beans!! And my husband got carne and shrimp with rice and beans and guacamole!! The flavors were amazing! Highly recommend this place!! It was all so affordable!! ”
