Make sure to stop at El Encanto on your way into Coba. The owners are so friendly and everything is made from scratch. He shared that they don't even have a freezer because they make everything fresh. The juices and agua frescas are delicious, the shrimp ceviche lovely, and probably the best freshly made guacamole we had our whole trip. Very affordable, please support them!

Friendly, quality little place in Coba. Owner (I think) recommended the local pork dish; it didn't disappoint. Guacamole starter was also very tasty. Menu and service in English helped my tired brain

We stopped by after our trip to the Coba ruins. The tacos de pollo were delicious. The guacamole and chips were fresh. The owners were so friendly and warm. It was the best meal we have had in our 5 days in Mexico so far. Thank you!

When you come to Coba, make this your restaurant of choice for lunch! It's family owned, everything is delicious and made fresh! They even have an espresso machine. High quality food and service at a great price. The ceviche was sooo good! We love this place!

This restaurant was the best during our trip! They just know how to cook well. We tried burger and burrito on the first day, then decided to visit again next day for shrimp ceviche, local pork (poc chuc) and chicken fajita, all was great! Shrimp was lightly cooked, tender! Service was great as well - they don't sell beer, but we were told to buy beer from the supermarket (chile picante) :)

After leaving Punta Laguna, my friends and I were hungry, so we went into Coba. We stumbled upon a really nice restaurant there. They had delicious juices and great food. I had lomitos, my son had shrimp, and my friend ate fish. Everything was fantastic!
