This is a commentary on the food stalls, especially Castillo, that serve the most disgusting garbage to clueless tourists (interestingly not only clueless gringos but also Mexicans). I've been around and IMO this is to be absolutely avoided. Scammy and inedible.

Arrived on Christmas night with our family of five in Merida and were fairly sure that there would be nowhere for us to eat dinner. We were pleasantly surprised (shocked, really) to find that several of the cocinas along Parque de Santa Ana were open. Hands-down, the best food I ate on this trip were the panuchos and salbutes at Cocina Castillo (I think that was the name -- it was the very center strip of the cocinas in the plaza). My husband ordered the sopa di limon, and it was rich and delicious -- loaded with flavor. In fact, it was so good, we went back a second night. We ate at several restaurants on this trip, but none were as good as the street fare we ate here. Plus, the prices were unbeatable -- something like 200 pesos for a family of five.

Nice environment. Surrounded with restaurants and bars. In a very central location. You cannot miss it if you a take a walk along the city center.

Santa Ana is one of several you will pass as you walk through the central portion of Merida. We saw it by day and night. There always seemed to be something going on there.

Santa Ana Park is just around the corner from our casa, so was a handy place to sit and watch the world go by while feasting on food from the adjacent mercado. Exhibits in the park during the International Festival of Light were dazzling!

There are many wonderful places that sell delicious food. There is an ice cream stand that sell rose flavored ice cream! There are many shops that sell everything from keychains to clothing. At night there is music. On Tuesday they have a band that plays music from the 40's and people dance. On Saturday it's Noche Mexicana with folklorical dancing, bands and singers. This park is so nice that I moved into the neighborhood. It's walking distance from the center of Merida. Don't miss this adventure.

This is a small plaza in the old part of Merida, you can enjoy local food from small vendors around the plaza, the little church is a nice a quiet place where you can rest, sitting and meditate. Remember, this is a sacred place for locals, be respectful and quiet.

I came here solely in the evening for the folk dancing. They were well performed.
Vendors would come around selling their wares such as the peanut man who would offer his peanuts for samples, the man who sold fans would open up his fans as if he was an operator singer, young girls showing off the blouses they were selling, etc.
It is a safe place for by the time the dancing was over it was close to 10 pm and I walked all the way back to my hostel close to the cathedral.
