We loved our dinner at Yakunaj. Very nice Mezcalita cocktails, best guacamole we ever tried, all the food was delicious (traditional Mexican cuisine, on the fine dining side). Enrique provided brilliant service! Would highly recommend if you’re in Valladolid. We had no reservation but were able to sit on the lovely terrace. It was cash only, though this might be temporary.

Gluten free folks, this is the place! The wait staff is so kind and understanding of celiac. They walked me through the whole menu showing what I could eat. I got the fish dish and it has been the best meal of my trip. They also include a complementary salsa sampler and the longaniza sausage one was to die for. Drinks were good too, I got the cold chocolate drink and a passion fruit margarita. The garden is super cute.

Yakunaj Cocina did not disappoint! Four of us had dinner here, and all of our dishes were superb. We shared bites, and we all agreed, however, that my Ribeye dinner was THE bomb!! We tried the restaurant's four main desserts, which used local fruits either for flavoring (Tangerine Cheesecake, Fried Banana, Dulce de Papaya, and Pie De Elote. They were all interesting flavors and textures, which we were hoping to experience. The most expensive item we had was the Ribeye, which was about $25 USA. It's totally worth going here, and we would highly recommend it! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $300–400 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Tangerine Cheesecake

Partner and I are in town for only two nights. We have eaten here twice, lunch and breakfast. About to return on our last night for dinner. Cannot explain how good the food is. And on top of that, José the waiter is an absolute legend. Do not second guess this place, if you’re in town, give it a go. I promise you won’t regret it.

From the outside all you see is a long hallway. At the end of the hallway there is a lively garden. They also have a terrace. We ordered the beetroot textures as a starter. That was delicious. Such a nice change from all the tortilla based dishes we had been having lately. For mains we had the pink mole and fish. Both were nice but not as good as the starter. Dessert was very disappointing. The presentation was a 10 but that was it. It was a mandarin cheesecake shaped as an actual mandarin. The cheesecake was bland. Tasted of nothing. But the worse thing was the tons of gelatin they used so that it kept the desired shape. The spoon was bouncing back. The mandarin sorbet was nice and refreshing. Service was great Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $300–400 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

It's in a touristic busy area, fancy type of dining but not so pricey. Burrito was full with meat, tuna tartar was quite interesting, free tapas sauces were great too! Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $200–300 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Great tacos with handmade tortillas! I had vegetarian and beef Barbados, both were delicious. House chips and salsa (complimentary) are good also. Have eaten here twice during my 4 days in Valladolid. Staff is very accommodating and asked if we had any dietary restrictions on both visits. Good price and great service! If you're from the U.S. the elote/corn is more savory and chewy, (not sweet and juicy) very delicious just different.

Very cute garden dining area with murals, lush flora and lights. They were busy that night and gave us some nice nibbles while we waited. Excellent food and decent size portions. I am coeliac and they understood my gluten free needs with plentiful options. The house nachos were sizeable and delicious. I would certainly come back again.

Incredible tacos, a variety of sauces with chips automatically included...and a REAL espresso, not made from a powder. Ha! It also has a nice upscale feel and a neat open backyard dining area. I HATE not to give this place 5 stars but I had to bring it down one star because I was amazed that a place with such great food and a nice environment would not have a toilet seat on the toilet and no toilet paper! It's so easy to fix this problem and it makes me question what other decisions like this are they making in the kitchen. However, I would go back. Price per person $200–300
