The best kept secret in Progreso!!

          “La Ria”

Located on the river to Yucalpeten is La Ria, a quaint, quiet, romantic, peaceful tiki  bar with the best FREE botanas ever. Buy a beer, get something to eat; buy another beer, get something else to eat, and so it goes all day long!  Fried fish, ceviches, refried beans, beets, tostados, fish soup, shrimp, etc.

Nestled in the mangroves are three or four little tiki huts or (palapas) as they are called here, with a bar and small restaurant.  The setting is wonderful, and the service is great.  A nice place to pass the day!
