This year my wife and I decided to have Thanksgiving Dinner out at a nice Restaurant, but here in Yucatan Mexico, they don't celebrate Thanksgiving, but luckily a few Hotels who cater to Americans do serve their version of Turkey Dinner. So, we decided to try the Holiday Inn in Merida, across the street from Fiesta Americana Hotel.
The price was $377 mxp each person with no beverages.
So, we got all dressed up to celebrate a delicious Turkey Dinner, and headed off to the Holiday Inn, to their restaurant called La Arbolada Bistro and Grill.
The dinner was served outdoors, in a very romantic setting,and the night was cool, so it was really nice.
The first thing we noticed that they were paying American football that nobody was listing to, and they had it blasting, we needed to ask them to lower the volume 3 times, or waitress was very nice and told us to go help ourselves to the buffet.
We got to the buffet, the Turkey was this dried up carcass of a bird, with stuffing that was all dark, and looked bad.
We sat back down to eat, and the food was horrendous, the turkey was so dry I called the Turkey jerky, the vegetables are under-cooked, and they had no mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes a staple for every Thanksgiving dinner, and what little stuffing they did have was inside the turkey all dried out.
What a waste of our good hard earned money.
And the bathroom by the buffet seems that the septic tank was overflowed and had a terrible smell.
The desserts were simple commercial style desserts that are served at all hotels that there's no pastry chef.
however our waitress Cecelia was extremely nice.
