One of the functions of our facebook group, Isla Mujeres’ Food, is to give restaurants an opportunity to share about their food online with an interested audience. We’ve noticed that post-pandemic there are more and more restaurants offering home deliver, whether they have a brick and mortar store, or what is known in the business as a ghost kitchen, that only does delivery. Yiron is a hybrid of the two. There is a physical building located not too far south of Chedraui. But there is no actual seating inside. Just a kitchen and a take away counter. The business is primarily delivery.

All year long we have been approving posts from Yiron about what they have available and it’s been making me very hungry. Problem is I live 5,000 km away for 10 months of the year. Thats a lot of drooling over mouthwatering options that I know I can’t have until I get to the island.

So now that I’m on Isla, the time has finally arrived. We arranged for take out for two and told them to surprise us. When Kathryne walked into the kitchen with two big containers I could hardly contain my excitement.

I opened the first container to find a generous portion of Chilaquiles rojos. A traditional Mexican breakfast, this dish consists of tortilla chips slathered in a light tomato sauce topped with sliced onion, cilantro, avocado and usually topped with an egg or shredded meat. We got both, shredded chicken and eggs!  The sauce softens the chips as they soak it all up for the most delicious bite.

The next container just happened to have my very favourite Mexican breakfast of all time-Huevos Motuleños. Corn tortillas are brushed with refried beans and topped with a fried egg, strips of ham, peas, and tomato sauce and sprinkled with queso fresco cheese. My favourite part is they are served with a couple slices of fried plantain. The sweetness tastes great with the otherwise savoury dish. They come three in a serving.

There was so much food for such reasonable prices! We had left overs for the next morning. I could get used to having this beautiful food brought directly to my door. It’s like Door Dash without all the extra charges. But don’t forget to tip your driver.

Insider Tip: There is also Yiron Pizza which I am sure would be as delicious as the items that we sampled.
