What People Are Saying About Chichen Itza Restaurant

In Short
The owners of a celebrated but far-flung Yucatecan food stall have opened this cozy, eponymous restaurant near MacArthur Park. The menu highlights the Mayan, Spanish and Lebanese influences of the cuisine, with specialty appetizers like beef and cracked wheat patties known as kibi. The chef seasons a familiar Mexican entree like pollo asado with sour orange juice, achiote and pickled red onions, and also serves Yucatecan specialties like the marinated pork dish cochinita pibil, and papadzules which are hardboiled egg-filled tortillas spiced with epazote and pumpkin seed sauce.

Chichen Itza was a big let down!! We drove all the way from Orange County and were very disappointed with the food! It came very highly recommended by a local. But did not meet our criteria! We will not be returning . . . Ever!

I've only been to this place once and I will have to agree with everyone else: the service rocks. The food was simply awesome. I lived in Yucatan for over 6 years and let me tell you folks- the flavor is as close as you can get to the real thing. My boyfriend had the cochinita pibil which he totally fell in love with. For appetizers we had the panuchos which I HIGHLY recommend. If you thought Mexican food was all about burritos, quesadillas, and taquitos think again. Yucatecan cuisine is like no other. We can write great reviews about t his place ranting and raving about the excellent food and service but you have got to check it out for yourselves.
