Génesis Restaurant
Restaurant Génesis
An affordable roadside café in Xpujil serving snacks, burgers and tacos. A good place to buy food to take to the Calakmul ruins.
Located beside Highway 186 (Av. Calakmul) in Xpujil, this plain, low-priced café serves Mexican snacks, sandwiches, burgers and tacos. Lonely Planet suggests buying food here to take into the Calakmul ruins. Diners mention the avocado dip, a “Mexican” burger, Swiss-style enchiladas and cream fajitas. The drinks are generous, and a meal for two costs under US$9. The café says it is open 24 hours, but one visitor arrived early in the morning to find it closed, so if you plan an early visit to the ruins, confirm the day before. The menu and service are in Spanish only.
