The only annoying part was the constant street vendors strolling into the outdoor seating and harassing you to buy their knock off items. Would eat there again....

We took the free shuttle from the Valor and it dropped us off a block away. We [the boys] made it through the maze of vendors and right to Eladio 's. We sat down and had some beers for about $3 a beer. Included Corona 's [yuk], Modelo, Pacifico and various others. So when they asked us to sit down, they said they would bring us out some free appetizers. I never expected the 7 to 9 plates they brought out: little hot dogs in tomato sauce, the tamale in the banana leaf, an egg that was wrapped in a masa with pumpkin seeds in a sauce, abalone, ceviche and so much more. The service was great and they kept coming out to check on us. Never rushed us out. The girls showed up about an hour later with bags and coconuts. They ordered mango margarita 's, mojitos, and a strawberry mango daiquiri that my daughter loved. The girls did complain of that they had very little liquor and I tasted them and had to agree. They were good but you could not taste the alcohol [but they wouldn 't get beers]. When the girls got there, out come more appetizer plates. We did order a queso fundido with tortillas. We had a great time sitting here under the cover from the sun and had a great breeze for several hours. The whole bill for 7 of us with drinks and the queso was about $60. That was a great deal.

Parking was found on the street, which can be a challenge at times. We lucked out, and found parking right away on a nearby street. We walked up to the front of this busy restaurant, and got an outside table on the beach. We sat under the canopy and enjoyed a variety of dishes local to Yucatan. I don't remember the name of all of them, but check out my pics for reference. The staff here was friendly. Service was slow, but that is understandable due to how busy it was that day. It was an overall great experience in cultural immersion. This place is a must, come check it out.

Server were friendly and the restaurant was clean we sit inside with a nice breeze coming through the building. It is located right on the beach. I order some kinda of Nachos and my wife order enchiladas they were filled with boiled eggs), both plates were tasty. FYI you can't read or speak Spanish you will have a difficult time with menu.

I've read some very critical reviews for this place and I can reassure you that the negative reviews are coming off cruise ships. To those folks, stay on the boat you close minded twits. If tearing down hard working people is an alright thing in your country, shame on you. From the polite reception and very courteous wait staff, this place is excellent. The food is very authentic and the taste is of a culture that is proud of their culture. Enjoy, the sights, sounds and tastes of real Yucatan cuisine. I'm going back tomorrow. 3rd time going in a week.
