Nectar: Menu & Drinks

Prepare for a culinary adventure as Chef Roberto takes your taste buds on a journey through traditional Yucatan delicacies with a modern flare. Let's explore some standout entrees!

A must-try dish is the Cochinita Pibil, which features slow-roasted pork marinated with achiote and spices. The succulent pork is wrapped in banana leaves and offers a tender, flavorful experience. 

Another signature dish is the Sikil Pak, a Mayan pumpkin seed dip served with freshly made tortillas. It's the perfect blend of simplicity with rich, earthy flavors. 

For seafood lovers, the Tikin-Xic Fish is a spectacular choice. The chefs marinate fresh, local catch in a vibrant mixture of achiote and sour orange. The fish is wood-grilled, which adds a smoky flavor, and is juicy and will melt in your mouth. 

Regarding beverages, Nectar doesn't disappoint, like the Margarita Yucateca. This marg is made with locally sourced ingredients like fresh lime juice and quality tequila, providing a refreshing and authentic taste of Mexico. The Tepache is a fermented pineapple beverage traditionally served cold, embodying the essence of Yucatecan flavors.

The traditional Yucatecan Agua de Chaya is a refreshing winner for a non-alcoholic option. The beverage is made from chaya leaf, lime, and a touch of sugar—perfectly refreshing and nutritious.
