As some of you might know last week I was flown to Riviera Maya for a few days of fun in the sun with some other fellow travel bloggers – Carol Cain, Matt Kepnes, Ryan van Duzer & Roni Weiss.
We had an AMAZING time. Riviera Maya was far more beautiful than I imagined and there are a ton of activities to do in the area from zip-lining to visiting Mayan ruins. In the next few weeks I’ll be putting out a ton of blog posts that show the beauty of the area and why Riviera Maya is must see destination for your travel bucket list.
One thing that really blew me away was the quality of food we ate. I’ve spent plenty of time in other regions of Mexico and I’ve never had food as good as what we ate in Riviera Maya. In fact, I don’t often eat food this good anywhere in the world! Not only were all of the dishes visually appealing but the flavors were creative and tasted truly fantastic. All of the food was very high quality and prepared perfectly. Normally vegetarian dishes aren’t that tasty in places that cater more towards meat eaters but I didn’t have any problem getting vegetarian food and to top it off – it was extremely good. I was completely surprised at how good everything was so if you’re a veggie and you’re headed to this part of Mexico – don’t worry – you’ll find plenty to eat!
Wondering what it is your looking at and where you can get it? Here’s a description of eat plate including the name of the restaurant:

Oh jealous jealous jealous! You know how much I love Mexican food and this looks divine!
Thanks Ayngelina. It was all amazing! @Ayngelina,
Oh, after seeing this post I am convinced that it is worth going to Mexico only to try the food, it looks so delicious!
Mexico is amazing on all fronts – the people, the activities & the food! @Alex Van,
Yum! I always come back from Mexico feeling a little bigger in the waist. I can’t stay away from anything with refried beans since the beans are always better in Mex. You got to sample some truly unique dishes. Lovely photos too!
I know – between the beans, the cheese & the nachos it’s impossible to not gain weight. @Christy @ Ordinary Traveler,
You’ve successfully made me crave Mexican food like there’s no tomorrow! Unfortunately, here in Spain the Mexican food just isn’t up to par, so I make everything myself. Gorgeous food photography! π
It’s hard to get good Mexican outside of Mexico. Well San Diego has amazing Mexican but the east coast -forget about it! @Christine from christineinspain,
*super giant drool*. This post is just cruel π
I know – I got hungry when i was putting it together! @Denise,
*love* doing events in Riviera Maya!! so much fun & so many options!
Yup, I’m definitely hooked on that area of mexico now! @jenjenk,
Nice photos. Now we have two new places to try the next time we are in Playa!
I highly recommend these spots! @Michael Lewis,
Wow, that looks just amazing. Makes me wish I was still in Mexico… Now I’m just hungry, and I know there are no Mexican restaurants around here π
There’s nothing worse than
craving Mexican and not being able to get it! @Jarmo,
It was a MASSIVE mistake to read this post whilst hungry!
Hahaha – sorry Sarah! @Sarah,
Oh my god this all looks so amazing! My favorite type of food ever is Mexican food. This all looks so mouthwatering delicious!
Thank you Sheryll! The food was out of this world! @Sheryll,
WOW. I can’t decide what I’d want to try the most… I think the pineapple creme brulee is calling my name currently, though. It doesn’t help that it’s lunch time, either!!
The creme brulee was amazing! @Tours of the Vatican,
I loved my time at the Riviera Maya. You captured the colors so beautifully. <3
Thanks girl!! π @Erica,
The food looks absolutely delicious – you really captured it well along with the festive atmosphere.
The food was amazing Sam! I don’t think i’ve ever had such great Mexican food before! @Nomadic Samuel,
If anyone knows the recipe for these, would love to try them! Especially the Pineapple Creme Brulee! That just made my summer!! π
Your trip and food experience made me more excited to go next week π
