Recommendations

"You'll probably have to wait for a table at this popular eatery, and service is slow, but it's worth the wait when you try Mary's Yucatecan comfort food. Salbutes are prepared with chicken (same as panuchos minus the beans)."
"But it's worth the wait when you try Mary's Yucatecan comfort food. All dishes are prepared with chicken: tamales, panuchos (fried tortilla with refried beans and toppings), salbutes (same as panuchos sans beans) and a hearty chicken soup, just like Ma used to make."
"The tamales steamed in banana leaves (unlike the tamales we’re used to in corn husks) are moist and filled with tender chicken."
"The tamale is the best I have ever had—and to look at me now, I might have eaten three the size of Volkswagens."
"If you want to dine like a local, grab a meal at Lonchería Doña Mary. It gets crowded, so be prepared to wait a little bit. However, it’s well worth it to be able to sample their delicious food. One of the best dishes to try at this lonchería is the caldo de pollo (chicken soup)."
"Another place we really liked for its authenticity and good prices, where the customers are mostly locals. Here you can try Caldo de pollo."
"If you want to dine like a local, grab a meal at Lonchería Doña Mary. This traditional restaurant has a wide variety of small plate Mexican dishes. One of the best dishes to try at this lonchería are salbutes (similar to a panucho without beans)."
"The tamales that she makes are not like any tamales I’ve ever had. Inside the corn husks there is fish or chicken with chile sauce. No corn. The tamales are served with fresh corn tortillas. The combination of catfish, corn and chile is unbelievably tasty!"
"Located in the traditional Gavira market, tamales from Doña Mary have been the delight of the capital and visitors for 30 years."
