4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 April 2013

We were staying nearby so we walked by this restaurant regularly. One night we decided to give it a try. I loved my food. The appetizer salsas were very good and my ceviche was absolutely delicious. My husband said his food was good but not memorable (I can't remember what he had because I was so focused on mine).

My friend and I would usually pass by this restaurant... but seeing that they had a 15% off your check coupon in the City Passport coupon book, we decided to try it.... As said by others, it is clean (which holds me back from trying a number of other restaurants) and there is a good range of prices. We would... More

I passed this restaurant numerous times while wandering around Merida, and finally decided to give it a try. It is a small place, but attractive on the inside with art on on the walls, some of which was for sale. The server was very friendly and helpful with answering questions about the menu. The best part of the meal was... More

We had walked by a couple of times skipping it but then read the reviews and decided to try it. Got hustled into a table and the service was so non Mexican. Everything seemed a rush. The food was ok but not great. Draft beer horrible. I would of rather had two tortillas full of chicken rather than 4 half... More

Like others, at first I was put off by the emptiness of this place and on my first night I went to La Chaya round the corner. However after reading the reviews I thought I would give it a try. I'm glad I did. The food was excellent - much better than at La Chaya, although maybe I was unlucky... More

Finally good food! The soap de Lima was great as was the fish. My husband had the ceviche (made fresh without pulpo as he requested) and a shrimp avocado dish. We sat next to the window into the kitchen and the staff inside was clean, professional, and friendly. This is a place to visit again! Oh as one other reviewer... More

This is probably the cleanest restaurant in Merida. Newly renovated, it has the only window into the kitchen I've ever seen in this type of restaurant. The Torta Cubana I ordered was very good for 5 dollars, and the french fries were fresh-cut and delicious. The food is bland by Yucateca standards, but that's a blessing for people like me... More

Staff stands on the street enticing you in - but done in a lackluster way, service was pleasant but undistinguished. Decor is nouveau coffee shop. Only one other couple who left halfway through my stay. Every time the waitress went by I kept thinking they were bringing some nibblies but it never happened. I ordered the 69 peso chicken pibil...
