La Casona de Valladolid
They serve cochinita pibil and sopa de lima in a colonial house on Calle 41, two blocks off the main square. You pick the buffet or the à la carte menu, and the doors shut at seven.
Why go
The operator runs it as a choice rather than a set menu: a buffet, or the same kitchen à la carte, over what they count as more than seventy Yucatecan dishes, vegetarian plates included.1 They lead on cochinita pibil and sopa de lima, and a cook can judge a Valladolid kitchen on that pair alone.1 They also cut the price for people from Valladolid and from Quintana Roo, which tells you who eats here on a Tuesday.1
Order this / avoid
- Order: the cochinita pibil, and the sopa de lima before it.1
- Avoid: arriving after seven. The kitchen closes at 7:00pm.1
Good to know
- Hours: noon to 7:00pm.1
- Where: Calle 41 no. 214 on the corner of Calle 44, a few blocks from the main square and the church of San Gervasio.1
- Discounts: the house gives them to visitors from Quintana Roo and to people from Valladolid.1
Verdict
listed — The only source is the business selling the meals, and that limits the rung more than anything about the room does. What it does establish is useful: a seventy-dish count across buffet and à la carte, a day that ends at seven, and a discount for people from Valladolid and Quintana Roo, which says the room is not built only for coach parties. No outside read exists on whether the cochinita is any good.
