In the Direction of Uxmal

Hacienda Ochil has a great buffet on the weekends and during the week you can have lunch til 5pm a la carte. It is on highway 261 between Uman and Uxmal at the exit to Abala. It' just 15 minutes from Yunku. Yucatan today has the details.

El Principe Tutul Xiu is the very best place in the Yucatan to eat Poc Chuc. Poc Chuc is a dish of grilled pork marinated in sour orange. There are two locations near Yunku. A new one in the village of Oxkutzcab on the road from Mani. The original is in Mani. Here's a second opinion.

It's been a couple of years since I've been to Chun-Yaax-ChÈ in nearby Muna. Jen Lytle from Tierra Maya Real Estate took us there. She used to live in Muna and she knows a thing two about the area and good food. There is also a very good and sort of expensive workshop that specializes in the reproduction of mayan art, polychromatic ceramics and sculpture. I remember the fresh hand made torillas under the thatched palapa cooked over an open fire. Hours 9-5. Calle 13 #20 Muna

Ticul is the largest town in the area and worth a visit. The market is interesting on Saturdays. Los Almendros: Calle 23 #207 8:30 a.m. to 9 p.m is the most famous restaurant in Yucatan. Or so we are all told when we arrive. Here is Chef David Sterling's review I remain unimpressed however. Still if your starving in Ticul it's Los Alemendros or pizza...and the pizza ain't half bad. I just cannot remember the name of the pizza parlor but it's by the hardware store a couple of blocks from the cathedral.

The Hacienda Temozon is a beautiful estate. Part of the Starwood Luxury collection. You'll need a reservation as the resort is closed to the public with out a reservation. Sometimes you can drop in but not always. The quality of the food goes up and down. Lately reports are good.

Yucatan Living has a poll you can take after your trip and tell them which hacienda you liked best. They are photos of Uayalceh which is just 10 minutes north of Yunku. It's grounds are more or less public as the village surrounds this private estate. If you go to Sotuta de Peon you'll pass Uayalceh. Sotuta de Peon is a working hennequen hacienda with a museum and restaurant.
