Regional specialties are featured in the Caribe's restaurant El Rincon, just off the central courtyard. The Yucatan has a distinctive cuisine that is an attraction to visitors from other Mexican states as well as to foreigners.

Probably the most well known dishes are pollo pibil (chicken marinated in orange and spices then barbecued in banana leaves) and poc chuc (pork fillet cooked with tomatoes, onions and spices). Here you can try these, or more international dishes if you prefer, all at very reasonable prices.

There's a pleasant, relaxed ambience around the wooden tables nestled under the arches. You'll often find someone playing the guitar in the afternoon.

Breakfasts are served here too - there are a variety of set meal options ranging from American style bacon and eggs to "scrambled eggs with Yucatecan sausage", all offered with toast, coffee and fruit juice for around 45 pesos (US$5). You can also choose from an a la carte selection.

Outside on the Parque Hidalgo, El Meson is an outdoor cafe ideal for drinks and snacks.
