The best 'nut-free' restaurants in Yucatan
Posted on September 12, 2022
Mexico, the country known for its delicious food! Burritos, fajitas, quesadillas, you name it! Mexican cuisine often uses fresh products with a natural origin, which means that few allergens are found in the food. Yet it remains exciting to go abroad with an allergy. During our trip to Yucatan, Mexico we had someone in our party with a nut allergy. In this article you will find tips for restaurants, where you can find dishes that do not contain nuts or traces of nuts, or the best 'nut-free' restaurants in Yucatan!
The Mextreme in Cancun
An authentic Mexican experience is debatable... At the Mextreme, Mexican conviviality comes first. Sombreros, Mexican music and of course typical Mexican food such as tacos and burritos. You can preview the menu on the website and it includes many nut-free options. The word 'nuts' in Spanish is 'nueces'. Are you going for a piece of meat with guacamole or a vegetarian taco?
Enjoy Italian food on Isla Holbox
Pizzeria Roots on Isla Holbox is a phenomenon! The business is located in a traditional Mayan house and serves the tastiest pizzas fresh from the wood-fired oven. After 8 o'clock you will also be treated to live music. There are many pizzas to choose from and you can also create your own pizza. The most popular pizza on the menu is the lobster pizza. Which pizza are you going for?
Surprising Valladolid
Valladolid is located in the interior of Yucatan. In this colorful city you can find a stall with delicious Mexican food on almost every street corner. With your nut allergy, do you find this a bit exciting? At Paparazzi you can safely eat Italian meat and fish from the grill. The ambiance and service are also fantastic.
Eating by the lake in Bacalar
There are several nice restaurants around Lake Bacalar! One of the best known is La Playita. You can compare it with a beach club but on a lake. The menu offers a wide variety of dishes, such as burgers, salads, Mexican dishes, but also delicious soups. View the menu with plenty of nut-free options here.
Enjoy yourself at Onyx in Tulum
In our opinion, Onyx in Tulum is a real pearl. This restaurant can be found in one of the side streets of Tulum Pueblo, which also serves delicious drinks. We must honestly admit that nuts are used in some dishes. However, the owner and the staff speak English so well that indicating your nut allergy ensures that you can enjoy the delicious burgers and other Mexican dishes here with peace of mind.
