What the operator publishes
Address5 Avenida Norte, Nicte-Ha
HoursOpen Saturday mornings.
PaymentCards accepted.
Air conditioningHas an air conditioned section.

It sits north of town, outside the tourist strip. Not a walk-in-on-your-way kind of place.

Air conditioningNo air conditioning, fans only. Worth going early.

Portions are large. Four people can order less than they think.

Source: its @lacuevadelchango account, checked September 6, 2026. It has no website of its own, so that is the only channel the business runs.
Pook
Peninsular cooking, Yucatán style.
What the operator publishes
AddressDiagonal 80 Sur at 31 Sur, Ejido
HoursMonday to Sunday, 8:00 to 18:00

Que Huevos
Breakfast, lunch and coffee.
What the operator publishes
Address5th Avenue at Calle 48 Norte
HoursEvery day of the year, 7:00 to 15:00
DeliveryOwn delivery and on Rappi.
Source: quehuevos.com.mx and its @quehuevos_ account, checked September 6, 2026. The 7:00 to 15:00 hours come from those two channels the business runs itself. Yelp lists 7 to 4: it is an aggregator, and it does not get the last word here.
Choux Choux
French bakery and patisserie that also serves Mexican breakfast.
What the operator publishes
AddressAvenida 20 at Calle 24 Norte
Hours7:00 to 17:00
Source: its @chouxchouxcafe account, checked September 6, 2026. The chouxchoux.mx domain no longer reaches the business: it redirects to an unrelated site with nothing to do with the bakery, so it is out and we do not link it.
Casa Mata
Breakfast and brunch, contemporary Mexican.
What the operator publishes
AddressAvenida 10 between Calle 40 and 42
HoursOpens at 8:00. Closed Wednesdays.
Source: its @casamata.cocina account, checked September 6, 2026. Its channels disagree with each other on the closing time, so no closing time runs here. All three do agree that it opens at 8:00 and closes on Wednesdays, and that is all we publish.

Details taken from each business's own channels. Hours and prices change, check before you go.
