El Mesón del Marqués
A long-standing restaurant in a colonial courtyard beside the main square, where locals say the pork lomitos in tomato sauce are the best in town.
El Mesón del Marqués is the restaurant of the hotel of the same name on the north side of the main square. Its open-air colonial courtyard is lovely and often has live music, making it a classic choice in Valladolid. A local food blogger's family often comes here for weekend breakfast and says the Valladolid-style pork lomitos in tomato sauce are the best in town. The cochinita pibil (pit-roasted pork) also ranks near the top, and they recommend the papaya gelatin served with a basket of toasted bread. Some dishes are prepared tableside. It gets busy at mealtimes in high season, so book ahead. Average spend is about 300–500 Mexican pesos per person.
Opening hours
Daily, breakfast to dinner (about 7:00–22:30)
