This was a hidden gem!! Walked by it in front of my hotel and decided to try thei brunch...the French toast is the best I ever had in my life!!! 12/10! So good! Eggs with cheese, bacon, and potatoes but French toast was so delicious we went back a 2nd day on vacation. The drinks were also 10/10!! The servers had great customer service especially lady with orange curly hair so nice I will definitely be back next visit! Everything for breakfast is great!!
As soon as I walked in I knew I liked the place. Then we met Larisa and she made it soooo much more enjoyable. She recommended some dishes to us and they were delicious. I knew I could trust her option from the start. Cannot wait to come back. Thank you Larisa
Hijole was just a quick 5-minute walk from where my fiancé and I were staying, which made it super convenient. The restaurant itself was clean, cute, and had a cozy tropical vibe.
Our waitress was incredibly friendly and knew the menu well, which made ordering a breeze. We both went with the chicken and waffles — and wow, they did not disappoint. So flavorful and perfectly cooked!
I also got an iced caramel coffee with almond milk and whipped cream on top, and it was just as good as it sounds.
Definitely recommend stopping by Hijole if you’re in the area and looking for a great spot for breakfast or brunch!
This was located within walking distance from my Airbnb. Larissa was AMAZING. She was great with suggesting things to try and overall had the sweetest personality! I had a mango margarita with a chicken taco. They both were delicious!! The atmosphere was very welcoming and the music gave the perfect vibe to enjoy my dinner. I will definitely be returning on my next trip to Isla Verde
Nice cosy restaurant if you want some Mexican food. We were seated right away with no reservation. Nice music and ambiance. We ordered the following:
-Natural Lemonades: Nice flavour, not too sweet, just right.
-Guacamole with chips: Tasted a bit sweet for some reason? Maybe because of the purple onion. Also it needed lemon and it had too much oil. Decent taste but could have been better.
-Quesabirria Plate: Came with 8 quesabirrias and a bit of consome. Consomé was not that exciting and the tortilla was flour instead of corn. Nice cheese but the winner here was the meat. The meat was super soft, nice cooked, lovely flavour. It almost tasted like authentic cochinita from Quintana Roo. Loved it!
-Fries with cheese and bacon: These were homemade fries rather than frozen, which gave them a nicer flavour. However they were extra oily and I didn't enjoy them unfortunately. There was almost the same amount of cheese than there were fries. The fried bacon on top was delicious.
-Vanilla Flan: Had an okay flavour, as a Mexican Ive tried better. This wasn't as creamy but it had a nice flavour!
Some food items could have been better. They didn't offer WiFi in a touristic area of the city. Nice enough for a TexMex restaurant.
Service from Isai was really good, he was really attentive. Great decoration from the place.
