Hacienda Sisal is one of the favorite mexican restaurant for travelers in Cancun and very famous around the world. Their food is made of fresh ingredients and authentic recipes.

There are top chef selections; like the Salmon with Mole (is the fillet topped with more chocolate-chili sauce and white chocolate chips, this served with freshly made gnocchi with butter and cilantro). If you want a plate for 2 I recommend the “Panela del jefe”, is a delicious griled panela cheese served with refried beans, roast tomato with chili salsa and a tortillas to make your own tacos. Hacienda Sisal serves 100 percent agave tequila and mezcal, they follow artisanal techniques in any preparation, even in guacamole and salsas!
