Izamal

About the restaurant

Caminar por las calles de Izamal te obliga a llegar al lugar perfecto, la experiencia mágica de los sabores que calman hasta al más hambriento, la frescura de las texturas que calman la sed y la tranquilidad de llegar a un lugar distinto y distante en el tiempo, como si redescubrieras un Izamal ancestral que no esperas, en medio de un pueblo mágico y a las faldas de la pirámide siempre dispuesto a restaurar el corazón del visitante.

El Restaurante Kinich sigue luchando con la bandera de preservar la cultura del sistema alimentario mexicano vivo, sigue construyendo modelos efectivos de rescate gastronómico a través de la promoción y divulgación de los platillos típicos autóctonos de la península de Yucatán pero sobre todo sigue sumando a los cocineros y cocineras tradicionales de México a ser parte de las manos mágicas mexicanas.
