Very cute, authentic, clean local spot for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. A simple menu full of great choices. The Jamaica tea was great.

Sehr nettes traditionelles Lokal und super enchiladas!

It's a must! Family owned. Sweet service and a great breakfast.

Don't miss out this fantastic, delicious food!!! Everything is so fresh and the portions are very big. Everything we ate was so tasty. The best burritos de pollo I ever had. The special sauce is very hot, but 100% natural and homemade, as well as the ice cream. The place is very cozy to sit and watch the street and if you're lucky some squirrels. The ladies who run the place are soooo kind and caring.

We’ve been here three days and have been searching for excellent Mexican food and finally found it! This exceeded expectations. Fish tacos are light and perfectly fried just like in Baja California. The burrito is amazing. Banana milkshake is a must. Favorite meal of the trip by far.

Best local food, friendly staff and normal prices :) See you soon.

We enjoyed an authentic Enchilda lunch. Humble, polite and caring service. Thank you!

Great authentic Mexican food and decent prices! We really enjoyed our lunch!

Great little place to go eat amazing breakfast. The eggs were mixed with the bacon which was odd at first but ended up being amazing and the shake was a banana smoothly mixed with milk so it wasn’t overly filling. Our server had a little bit of a hard time communicating with us but she was still super nice.

Cute independent women owned restaurant with freshly cooked food and cold refreshing drinks

A very good breakfast in this place, looks small but the food is great, the fruit plate es exquisite I have eggs with cheese and chorizo. I would recommend this place . Don’t park in the front there is a place where you pay 20 pesos if you are just going to eat

Sehr authentisches leckeres Essen! Auf Wunsch bereitet die Chefin alle Gerichte auch nur mit Gemüse als vegetarische Variante an

Muy bonito y encantador lugar! Vale mucho la pena.

El mejor servicio para auténtico cómoda mexicana

Excelente comida.

Rico sabor.

Piccolo ristorante a conduzione familiare. Si attende un po' per i piatti perché cucinati al momento, ma i sapori sono ottimi. Burritos strepitosi.

Enfin un restaurant typique. Un carte simple et efficace, quelques places assises, des prix plus que raisonnables (ça change des autres villes touristiques, et la qualité est au rendez-vous. Idéal pour manger le midi avant ou après être allé nager avec les tortues ! Je recommande de plus le personnel est sympathique.

Sehr süß und lecker. Wer es ruhiger mag :)

Ein sehr schönes und nicht touristisches Lokal. Sehr freundliche Bedienung und essen zum fairen Preis. Eine absolute Empfehlung für ein leckeres Frühstück.

Un'ottima scoperta proprio nel centro di akumal ma defilato dal traffico. La ragazza super disponibile. Abbiate pazienza nella spettare i piatti, la cucina è tradizionale messicana ed ha il sapore dei pranzi preparati in famiglia. Da provare assolutamente il filetto di pescato. Buonissimo

Molt bon lloc per menjar plats típics de Mèxic. Servei molt amable. Preu molt correcte.

100% zu empfehlen! Super essen, super Service, super Preise! Was uns auch gefiel waren die kleine Bilder, die von einem Mädchen in Tulum gemalt werden! Auch das Eis „popsicles“ waren super lecker und schmeckten nach echten Zitrus Früchten!

Pyyyszne jedzenie. Próbowaliśmy beef i chicken fajitas, chicken burrito poprostu rewelacja. Dodatkowo swiezo wyciskany sok z pomarańczy mniam. Zdecydowanie polecam to miejsce

Pyszne śniadania, normalne ceny mimo lokalizacji nad morzem. Przemiła właścicielka. Warto zatrzymać się tutaj i odpocząć w cieniu przy znakomitej kuchni meksykańskiej.

Excelente comida y sazon, el precio es bastante accesible, es comida hecha el mismo día, recomiendo ir temprano porque las cosas se acaban, hay un comentario con 1 estrella el cual desacredito completamente, el vaso de agua de Jamaica costó $20 pesos (1 dólar) y puedes ingresar bebidas alcohólicas si quieres, 100% comida mexicana auténtica de la región!!!

Sencillo, económico y sabroso! Recomiendo las enchiladas rojas de pollo, exquisitas!! Acompañadas con frijoles y arroz 👌🏼👌🏼

Homemade food. We tried the huevos rancheros, the waffles, and the fresh fruit! Delicioso todo! Súper recomendado.

Es una joya en Akumal. La comida estaba bastante rica y a buen precio, la porción más grande de lo esperado.

Excelente sazón , muy buen precio y sabor recomendable, un poco lento pero es porque todo lo hacen en el momento vale la espera

Comida casera muy buena

Muy bueno, Se abre todos los días de lunes a domingos de 9 a 5 pm Muy bueno, Se abre todos los días de lunes a domingos de 9 a 5 pm

Me gustó. Desayuno rico, rápido y tranquilo. Buen lugar.

Fruta súper fresca, personal amable y buenos licuados...

Comida local, muy buena y amables, 100% recomendable

Comida tipica exquisita, la tención es muy buena

Se come. Muy rico à un exelente precio !

Fondita con ricos desayunos, sabroso sabor casero y a muy buen precio. Las señoritas nos recibieron muy amables y el servicio ni se diga nos atendieron muy bien. Nos obsequiaron una pequeña olla de barro.

Muy atenta. El sabor es casero 100% y muy sabroso. Los precios son muy accesibles y amabilidad sobre todo (a pesar de no contar con chilaquiles en el menu, nos preparo unos muy ricos). Se pueden estacionar en cualquier parte e ir caminando, aunque los guias turisticos de la entrada les indiquen lo contrario, tranquilamente puede dejar el auto estacionado por ahí sin problema y elegir donde comer. Grata persona. Volveré.

una encantadora cocinera con un sazón increíble un buen lugar y muy limpio repites plato porque repites

Nos encantó este pequeño lugar, comida casera a buen precio y excelente servicio

Fue increible! La comida es muy rica! This is a MUST visit in Akumel to eat!

Exelente lugar, para desayunar, la comida muy rica y precios muy buenos. La sra muy amable. Regresaría.

Riquisimo todo y a muy buen precio me encanto todo

Increíble, nos encantó todo lo que comimos. Súper bien de precio y comida riquísima. Volveremos ❤️

Un lugar fantástico, con un pescado muy rico y una salsita muy especial

Imelda esta ubicado en una plaza muy segura con guardiana y muchos locales de comida deliciosa. La pizzeria es un top, la cueva del pescador no la recomiendo. Volviendo a imeldas fuimos la fmlia completa y cada plato delicioso. Todos recomendados. Pidan su salsa picante

Fuimos hace un año, extremadamente humilde y sabrosa comida. Restaurante de familia, con buena estética y majas cocineras. Extremadamente recomendable, el mejor recuerdo de mi viaje a México.

Los mejores tacos de pescado!!! Delicioso,la atencion de ninive genial carismatica amigable, ...muy limpio todoo.. la chef cocinera imelda de lujo, todo natural delicioso , bien servido... eso es amor al arte de la cocina.. super recomendado... volveremos pronto..saludos ecocina akumal!!

Nos encontramos este restaurante y la señora que lo regenta muy amablemente nos preparó dos platos vegetarianos deliciosos y muy completos, especialmente el burrito. Muy recomendable

Restaurante con un encanto único. Está un poquito escondido y eso tamién le hace más especial. Tranquilo y se come de maravilla. Como si te cocinara tu abuelita. Si volvemos a Mexico de bien seguro que iremos a ver a las seños!!

The (fried) fish is out of this world, and one of the best I ever had! Very nice and welcoming place!

Ines

Delicious local meal in a 100% women owned business. Hidden from the crowded touristic restaurant, don’t miss this little gem

Reiss Krygier-Mclaren

A very short walk away from the beach clubs/bars is this small unassuming diner with a lovely waitress. We ate the chicken enchiladas and the fried fish (recommended by the waitress), and both were spectacular. Their home made hot sauce was simply delicious and packed a bit of a punch. Other guests around us had the fish tacos which looked awesome and the popsicles also seemed to be a bit. They accept cash and card and for us it was a much more appealing option than the overpriced beach bars. Enjoy!

Irina Liskey

Best food and service. We came for lunch and dinner. On Friday nights they make a buried pig. Their tamales and cochinita Pibil is incredible. Also try stuffed peppers. You will not regret!

Danny Lin

Absolutely delicious food in a very quiet and peaceful setting. The hostess was so sweet and patient with our somewhat large group. All of it was amazing, but I personally loved the fish tacos! I’ll also be going back to eat again and buy a bottle of their hot sauce.

Bill

Always great place for a casual breakfast or lunch. Thankfully the prices here are more in line with the local economy rather than vacation visitors. Get in here for a good meal at a reasonable price. 10/3/24 We’re back after too long to Imelda’s new location for lunch and the food is better than ever. We had the pork enchiladas & fish filet for lunch. Both dishes were tasty with large portions. The homemade hot sauce elevated the meals. Thank you !

Stephanie Simms

We enjoyed several meals here during our week long stay. Every one was delicious with highlights being the extraordinary chili relleno and a very authentic cochinita pibil. Also high marks to the mole sauce which we enjoyed quite a lot also. Plan to bring any alcohol you want to enjoy with your meal as they dont serve any. Many thanks to the lovely hospitality we enjoyed here.

Greg Eldridge

These are the fish tacos I have been looking for all week, made by Imelda herself. Crazy fresh pico de gallo and chips. 11/10 Really lovely food, made and served by the owner with a smile.

Wonderful authentic food at good prices! Loved the chicken enchiladas, fish tacos, and chicken burritos! The mole sauce was delicious!

Tara Davis

We thoroughly enjoyed our late lunch experience Imelda’s. The food was local and authentic and affordable. Lunch plates are either $7 or $9 (US) and delicious. Fish tacos were great. The fish fillet was also excellent. Staff is so friendly and kind. Place is extremely clean. Right off main Plaza. Just ask around how to find it. Delightful. Update: Went again for her Friday night only (6pm and on) dinner. Tried the cochinita pibil which is the whole pig that is roasted in ground (similar to Hawaiian style) and then shredded and seasoned with delicious sauce and served in small cazuelas. Very reasonably priced as well at around $12. She also does chili rellenos and tamales on the Friday night dinner. Imelda and Glenda are lovely, hospitable ladies.

Absolutely delicious hearty food made with intention and love. One of the few small family owned places we could find with very affordable authentic flavor packed food. I got the fajitas with fresh squeezed orange juice and a fanta, and my husband got a burrito and coke which he ate SO FAST. They took note of our diary/cheese allergies and accommodated which was much appreciated. 🥰 We were able to talk to Imelda (I assume), the owner for awhile as we ate. She was so kind and sweet adding to a very welcoming experience. She told us her story of her restaurant and how she has been there for 27 years, as well as the recent trying times of the pandemic and community effort from some women who made a go fund me to help support her restaurant. It is so wonderful to see she was able to make it out with the help of community and people who were also touched by the delicious food and experience here. I hope nothing but more success for Imelda and for everyone to try her food! Thank you for such a delicious meal and talking with us. We cherish small family owned businesses with amazing food and we hope to be back very soon. ❤️

Mark Kowalski

The best food I've had in Mexico! Delicious fish tacos and don't forget to order an orange juice!

Kelly Connolly

I am so happy we found Imelda’s while we were staying in Akumal. It’s a warm, family restaurant right off of the plaza near the beach and I appreciated that it was on the quieter side of the plaza and market. We ate as many breakfasts, lunches, and dinners (open later on Friday nights) as we could. For breakfast, the tostadas with eggs are perfect with fresh squeezed orange juice. Specials including the most delicious, lightest chile relleno I’ve ever had. For lunch, super light, crisp fresh fish tacos. I’m so glad we got a chance to try her specials including chicken pozole and cochinita pibil. Everything is made with care and it tastes like the very best home cooking. Thank you, Imelda! We will be back.

Had one of the best meals of our trip at Imelda’s cute place. Imelda is the cook and is helped by her daughter, the dishes are so delicious and typically home made. Extremely reasonable prices , especially more so given it’s location. Imelda and her daughter are also so lovely. Please visit this place and support a hard working local lady who whips up some amazing food 😀

April Wilson

An awesome little place to get a really good meal. The staff were lovely and service was great. The food was awesome and really reasonably priced. The fish fajitas were delicious as was the pork burrito. The fresh orange juice was awesome.

Tammie Kong-Santos

The food was delicious and tasted like a hearty home-cooked meal. We also ordered the hot cakes (no photo, sorry). There was something special about them, like extra butter and vanilla? Whatever it is, they were amazing!

James Rausch

This restaurant is amazing if you want authentic home cooked Mexico cuisine at very reasonable prices. We went today for breakfast and had wonderful tostadas as well as scrambled eggs Mexicano. We were so pleased with the food quality and the friendly welcoming feel from the family run establishment. I encourage everyone to stop by and support this local business that has been part of the community for over 20 years. We will be back!

Alina Rakhmatullina

Amazing food, loved it. Home meals. We had fresh fish, which I didn’t even have time to take a photo of, my hubby ate it right away. We also had chicken burritos and enchiladas, all delicious. Highly recommend!

Restaurant atypique proche de la plage d’Akumal. Nous avons passé un moment agréable, repas de qualité, boissons généreuses. Nous y avons mangé des fajitas et de très bonnes paletas

The fish tacos and enchiladas we got were great! Just don't order the popsicles; I got a wicked case of food poisoning from the pineapple/piña one. I know it was the popsicle because my partner and I shared everything else we ate that day and he didn't get sick, just me, and it was the only thing he didn't eat.

Lo probamos por que nos quedaba de pasada, la comida está rica pero la vdd no nos encantó y estaría bien algo más de variedad

Une cuisine familiale mais très bonne sur une jolie place arborée avec la possibilité de voir de jolis oiseaux. Rapport qualite-prix correct

los enchiladas son muy rico y las mujeres son majas 💛

Buenas las enchiladas de mole...estarían mejor si la tortilla la fríeran un poco y el queso fuera cotija o fresco. El pollo muy bueno, pura pechuga.

Imelda's cannot be beat for "cheap and good" eats in Akumal. We like Imelda's home style Mexican food and friendly service.

Siempre lo mismo, todo depende de que es lo que esperes, comida bien en general , no tienen carta y un solo platillo por 130 pesos, atención buena

La verdad esperaba otra cosa, por tan buenos comentarios. Una disculpa pero esta sobrevalorado. Creo estaba la dueña, otra mujer y un chico, llegamos y tenían una flojera que parecían no tener ganas de trabajar. Pedimos huevos rancheros $125, huevos a la mexicana $135 y hot cakes $130, café $60, licuado $85.

It wasn’t fresh… The orange juice was warm! The tortillas was not fresh Do not recommend this place

Fairly bland food. The chicken is very tough, prices are reasonable. The washroom water was not working. I don’t quite understand the good reviews by others. There is definitely better options.

Stopped by around 9am wanting a quick breakfast. We were the only ones there. I ordered the French toast and the pancakes. Portions were ridiculously small for the price I paid. 115 pesos each. I got two pitiful pancakes with about half a chopped banana, and 5 hockey puck sized pieces of French toast also with half a sliced banana. I would’ve thought the portions to be bigger given the restaurant being anything but fancy. Felt like you’re eating in someone’s home.

Me decepcionó, mala experiencia nada que ver con los comentarios. Comida mala, muy pocas opciones para elegir, todo grasoso frito, nos dieron unos Frijoles y arroz fríos, lo único rescatable el Agua de jamaica, solo hay de ese sabor además. Poco atentos. El pollo de las enchiladas muy seco, el pescado duro de tan frito. Y no es barato.

Quise almorzar ahí pero...les pregunté si tenían cambio de un billete de $500.00 pesos , me respondieron que NO. [Ya era como el medio día] entonces me retiré sin probrar nada y com hambre. [Yo no traía nada cambio, salvo tarjeta de cŕedito que tampoco aceptan otra alternativa de pago]

La comida mala. Pedimos unas enmoladas, unas fajitas de pollo y unas fajitas de pescado. A nadie nos gustó. El agua de Jamaica tuvimos que devolverla de lo mala que estaba. Lo único rico fue el jugo de naranja. Definitivamente no volveremos.

Nada del otro mundo, las enchiladas súper saladas. Lo que si está súper mal es que llegas y tienes que esperar más de 1 hora a que te sirvan. No volvemos es demasiado lento el servicio.
