Suggestions please for restaurants in Chichen Itza and Merida.
Tks

In Chichen Itza itself? There is a snack bar just past the main entrance.

Yes, in Chichen Itza as well any close by.

Hacienda Chichen is at the south gate of Chichen Itza. It has a cafeteria and a full restaurant. http://www.haciendachichen.com
We have a list f restaurants in Merida and the surrounding areas here: http://www.yucatantoday.com/eng-restaurants.htm and be sure to check out our 'Restaurant of the Month' reviews.

We ate at a restaurant near Chichen Itza that was on the left hand side of the road as you were driving away. Sorry, I cannot remember the name. It had a dining area across the front patio as well. The food was good, just don't sit outside--the noise and smell from passing cars and trucks was a bit much. Pick carefully, many of the restaurants are buffets that cater to the huge bus crowds. We asked several times for suggestions from locals. Even though we are fluent in Spanish and asked about non-buffets, we kept being directed to them.

Yucatan Today's guides for Merida are great. If you already haven't, spend some time reviewing them.
