Mexican cuisine is much more than the stereotypes around it, and here, this is the foundation of thought.
Deep in Quintana Roo, adjacent to Yucatan, sits Xpu-Ha's very own hotspot for dining excursions. As you soak in the breeze from the Caribbean and sink into the luscious gardens that surround you, dive into a culinary experience that's unlike any other.

Mistura
A 180 degree view of the Caribbean, a sea-to-table ethos, and a creative flair indicative of Central America, Mistura takes Mexican gastronomy to new levels. Bask under the sunlight - or moonlight - with a carefully designed menu of seafood dishes, grilled specialities, as well as signature comfort foods. A hallmark dining option for a reason.

Beefbar Esencia
Established in Monaco in 2005, Beefbar has made another home at Esencia, becoming an epicurean epicentre in its own right in Xpu-Ha, Mexico. Exceptionally cut meats from Australian Black Onyx to Wx Wagyu and Japanese Kobe beef are paired with Esencia-exclusive menu items that reflect this paradisal spot, which begs the real question - what exactly will you select?

Taiyo
What do you get when you blend classic sushi tradition and Japanese dining with a Mexican twist? In one way, one has to discover this answer on their own at Taiyo, but expect a curated yet casual lunch and dinner menu incorporating fresh local ingredients in a way that positively sings. And yes - omakase is most certainly on the table.
