Uaymitun 2018-Blog Post #13 “Have you ever been to…?”

Welcome to our Uaymitun 2018 Blog!

This, my penultimate blog post, will highlight the wide choice of dining experiences here in the wilds of the Yucatán !

Whenever we get together with folks down here, the conversation typically drifts into a discussion about food & drink!

What’s good, what’s bad, what’s new, what’s old, what’s available and where… and where to never go again!  It never fails!

So some new places from this year…

Loncheria Carolina, Chicxulub Puerto
Loncheria Carolina on the square in Chicxulub…
… on the recommendation of Raymondo y Paméla…
… great salbutes and empañadas!
We enjoyed it so much, Val & George went with us on our 2nd trip!
Hermana República, Progreso-Mérida highway
Elaine and I went to Hermana República on the recommendation of Gaby our house owner!  We liked it so much, we returned with Val & George!
Great ambiance, great service…
Our favourite entrée… “Cerdo braseado en cerveza Porter con hongos y tocino”
We shared a piece of Pay de Límon!  Val had ‘vanilla helados’!
Leña y Mar, Progreso
