Best Beach Eats Summer 08
June 9th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under
The San Benito Restaurante Familiar between Uyamitun and Telchac Puerto is outstanding. The food is fresh and innovative, the staff is (almost overly) attentive and the margaritas are the real deal. Papaya slices and guacamole/chips as a botana! Chimichurri sauce served with the steak! Warm bread basket and Silver Gloria butter! Very cool spot. Open daily 1-10.

Well, about time. We’ve been watching this restaurant for about a year, wondering when it was going to open. Sounds like it was worth the wait…will try it on the next trip.

I learned months ago there to order my steak well. It comes medium rare, just the way I like it.
