100% Natural (Sunyaxchen)

The 100% Natural restaurant on Avenida Sunyaxchen, at number 63 near Avenida Yaxchilan in downtown Cancun, Quintana Roo, Mexico, is described as the original Cancun branch of a Mexican healthy-food chain. It is located about three blocks from Parque de las Palapas, in the El Centro area. The cuisine is healthy Mexican, built around fresh fruit, vegetables and lighter preparations. The most recognised items are the fruit smoothies and licuados, which are blended to order, and the salads. The menu also covers breakfast plates, including chilaquiles, tortilla pieces simmered in salsa, as well as enchiladas and other plates that adapt classic Mexican dishes with less frying and more vegetables. The chain has a loyal following among Mexicans and visitors who want a break from heavy, fried street food. The dining room is bright and casual, with a family-friendly mood, no dress code and moderate noise. It works equally well for a morning meal, a light lunch or a stop for a smoothie. Prices are rated $$, a little above a taqueria but modest for a table-service meal. Reservations are not taken, as the listing indicates walk-in service. The phone number given is +52 998 884 0102 for questions about hours or groups. Breakfast and midday are the most popular periods, and larger groups may wait briefly. Beverages are a focus, with fresh juices and blended drinks rather than a wine programme. Because the location is downtown, it is convenient to combine with a walk through the city centre or a visit to the park, and it provides a dependable option for vegetarians and for travellers who want a lighter meal.
