La Picuda

Yucatán State & the Maya Heartland


Locals highly recommend this casual eatery with plastic chairs and bright tablecloths, located just off the square and near the pier. The camarones al mojo de ajo (shrimp sautéed with garlic, M$150) is really good, as are the botanas (snacks) that come to the table before the main dish.
