Here on Gilligan’s Isle…………….
So this is the tale of our castaways,
They’re here for a long, long time,
They’ll have to make the best of things,
It’s an uphill climb…………….
The first mate and the Skipper too,
Will do their very best,
To make the others comfortable,
In the tropic island nest.
No phone,………..no lights,……… no motor cars,
Not a single luxureeeeee,
Like Robinson Crusoe,
It’s primitive as can be.
So join us here in CANCUN my friends,
You’re sure to get a smile,
From twenty five stranded castways,
Here on “Gilligan’s Isle.”
ADIOS! …………………………………….till next time
Saturday night our gang of four decided to try the newly opened BOVINO’S restaurant across from Costco on Yaxchilan. This new restaurant has only been open for two weeks. Bovino’s, a Brazilian style eatery is a meat eaters paradise, not to mention the awesome salads bar and good wine.
The concept is a simple one. A host of Gauchos parade through the restaurant with choice cuts of grilled beef, chicken, lamb, pork and sausage. All selections are slow roasted over an open flame, seasoned to perfection and accompanied by an extravagant salad bar.
Turn your coaster to green and prepare to be swarmed by a troop of carvers generously serving various cuts of sizzling beef, lamb, pork, chicken, and Brazilian sausage.
This is an all you can eat deal. The enormous salad bar has everything from sushi to soup. (Hint:Save some room for the meat). The gauchos slice off as much as you desire. You grab it with a “personal tong”, that is part of your place setting. The wait staff was very attentive and most of them spoke English. The cooking rotisserie area is glass enclosed and visible to all the diners. The building is newly constructed of brick and wood. The woodwork in the ceiling is a multicolored masterpiece. The bathrooms are spotless. The pricing is $340 pesos per adult and children under 12, $140 pesos each. Drinks and dessert are not included. Our bill came to $1270 pesos (approx.$97 USD) per couple. This included dinner, two Beefeater martini’s, splitting a full bottle of good wine with our friends Al & Louise, and two after dinner cordials (digestif’s), and the tip.

I don’t want to rate this restaurant yet…………..because it had only been opened two weeks as of the date of our visit, Sat. Jun.13th. Like any start up there were a thing or two that I’m sure will improve after the staff has more experience. We will be going back soon. This was a fun and friendly place to dine and we enjoyed our evening at Bovino’s very much. I suggest that you give it a try and let me know what you think.
