Close to the Pose de Montejo. This place has the best french toast on the planet!!!!! I don't drink coffee but my mom and son were huge fans of that! It's quaint and they serve everything on wood dishes...kinda cool and organic feeling. It has a little bit of a romantic feel also. Service is good, English and spanish. Buen provecho! read more

Great friendly place taking traditional mexican dishes and marking them more modern. loved it.

Had a great family breakfast at El Barrio this restaurant has it all with a quaint vibe, great service provided by our waiter Juan and amazing food. Not only is the food beautiful it tasted great as well. Even the drinks were great, I highly recommend trying the horchata de cacao it was delicious. read more

Great breakfast spot. Warning: there are intel about 10 tables so call ahead and either make a reservation or make sure they have room for you. We arrived right around 9:30 on a Saturday and just beat the crowd. The OJ is fresh, the breakfast sandwich was awesome, as was the coffee and service. Everyone was happy with their breakfast, especially my coworker with his huevos rancheros. He wasn't expecting the shredded chorizo. They do have some pastries but they're limited and not well advertised. You have to go to the counter to see what they've got. This is a very quaint spot, somewhat off the beaten path. Some local art for sale on the wall at very reasonable prices. Don't mind the tiny dog running around the dining room and into and out of the kitchen. read more

Rarely do I ever take pictures of food in any environment but the eggs I had here were so mind blowing I can't stop thinking about how well it was all tied together. Simple and superb. The coffee was also worthy of"wow". We ether hit them on their greatest day or I will be eating there for years to come. read more

We went in for a quick bite post-run and pre-spa day. We had no expectations and were absolutely blown away. I had the avocado toast, which turned out to be the best I've ever had. My husband had the gemelos and was equally impressed. Planning to return for chilaquiles and French toast before leaving Merida. Fuimos a tomar un bocado rápido después de la carrera y antes del spa. No teníamos expectativas y quedamos absolutamente impresionados. Tuve la tostada de aguacate, que resultó ser la mejor que he probado. Mi esposo tenía los gemelos y estaba igualmente impresionado. Planeando regresar por chilaquiles y torrijas antes de salir de Mérida. read more

The best breakfast and maybe one of our best meals in Merida! Why didn't we discover this on day one? Ug, who would have thought Merida was more filled with reviews on TripAdvisor than Yelp? Come here and let Fabian and Alex spoil you. They have so much heart and pride in their food, which is well deserved - Bright, flavorful, and rustic food cooked with organic ingredients. Hidden away a block off paseo de Montejo. What a wonderful way to start off your morning in their cheerful and breezy cafe! Attaching a pic of the breakfast sandwich, which was more of a breakfast hamburger. The bread was delicious, sweet like hawaiian bread. Half of my so delicious potatoes were stolen by my boyfriend! Guard them well if you should order this dish! read more

El Barrio - Breakfast sandwich. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mérida, YUC

This spot is a hidden gem. It's on a corner and is very lowkey. We ordered Chilaquiles with pollo and we didn't know what to expect. We were amazed once they were brought out to us. Have you ever had gourmet chilaquiles? I don't think so until you've tried them here! Wow. I didn't finish my plate because the portion size was huge but I wish I could've because they were really good! The chai latte was like no other. I will definitely come back to this place in future trips. read more

You wouldn't believe how good it is. It doesn't look like much on the outside. Oh but once you go in and you sit down. IT'S DELICIOUS. I got french toast and it wasn't drenched in sugar. It had granola, REAL, FRESH fruit, and a bunch of other things. The orange juice is delicious and fresh. If you are in the area. HOP IN THERE NOW! read more

The bread and coffee were great, but this is not your typical Merida breakfast place. The place is really small, so if you go with a large group you will have to wait. This is more of an organic concept, this is good for to go orders but not to eat there. They can greatly improve, we will give this place another chance. read more

Wow, awesome place! Easily the best breakfast we had in 7 days in mexico and it ranks right up there in my top all time breakfast places! We did the enchiladas and huovos mexicanos. Fresh, innovative, not heavy or over spiced or salted. I wish these folks would come and open up a restaurant in our town. read more

Take a moment to try a new place in Merida. This breakfast and brunch restaurant is very unique and it's because the flavors. The menu is base km eggs but make it in a Yucatán cuisine way. I've been twice in this place I had once the Huevos encamosados, are really delicious, are serve on a bread base, with longaniza de Valladolid, xcatick cream, and when I gave the first bite it was delicious, the longaniza has a really strong flavor with the egg has a really lovely taste and with che xvaltix cream, reduce the flavor to have a very incredible experience. Also they have homemade sweet bread, it's delicious, is a must to try a basket of bread with a cup of coffee. The negative side of this place is the service, they are slow, sometimes forgot the order. But it's really a place to take a bite in merida for breakfast or brunch read more

This place had very delicious food but it was a very tiny restaurant. The server was very amiable, although he did forget about us at times. The coffee was very delicious. Omelette was alright, I think I enjoyed the salad more. And the egg chilaquiles were very good, although it was 80% tortilla and barely any topping. Overall a very nice experience, the food was very fresh and I would definitely come bs l again! read more

El Barrio - Chilaquiles with scrambled eggs. I took a bite and then the picture :) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mérida, YUC

My wife and I go out to a different breakfast spot every other Monday and El Barrio has been on our list for a long time. The inside is small (maybe 8 tables) but is very bright and there a great selection of art on the walls. I had the breakfast sandwich which was very tasty, and my wife had the ranchero eggs which were a little different than traditional huevos rancheros. The coffee was also good. Once we exhaust our choices of breakfast spots, we will return to El Barrio read more

El Barrio - Rancheros... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mérida, YUC

I live in NYC which is a brunch and food capital. This is literally one of the best spots for breakfast/brunch. The french toast is so different from anything I have had and the dreamiest texture and flavor. The chilaquiles are very different from traditional chilaquiles but delicious. The chai latte is also just delicious. Not to sweet and the perfect amount of spice. The service is also warm and friendly....like Merida itself. We speak Spanish but I noticed that the staff speaks English as well. This is a must visit spot when in Merida! read more

What a gem of a place! This is a small place that actually opens at 8:30 a.m., so keep that in mind as you read other entries. The waiter didn't speak much English, but hey, this is Mexico and it was as good as my Spanish! He was really friendly and helped us navigate the menu. We started with coffee. It came hot and fresh. Watch the cup, as it was metal and can get hot! We ordered two of the entrees, the gemelos, and one other that I'm currently forgetting. Both were good but the gemelos would be my go to next time. We then got a dragonfruit juice, very tasty, mixed with lemonade maybe? Took a cold horchata con cocoa to go. It's 2:00 p.m. and I think I'm still full. read more

El Barrio - Gemelos - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Mérida, YUC

If I could double the amount of stars, I would without thinking it twice. The food here is amazing! The service is beyond excellent! We had breakfast here on our second day in Merida and both of the waiters that served us were really friendly and helpful with recommendations and tips about the food. I had Huevos Rancheros and my boyfriend had Huevos Gemelos and they both were so delicious and comforting. So much we had to come back again for our anniversary and I had the breakfast sandwich while he had pancakes with honey. Nothing disappointed. The place is a little small and doesn't have that many tables, but I think that adds to the private ambiance that makes you feel home. read more

We had a lovely breakfast at el barrio. Their homemade bread is great and unique combinations were perfect. Service was exceptional.

We arrived at noon for brunch and they kept us in the door waiting, while the waiter was making a transaction, he came back and went again.. then he said he will ask if he had food.. when the restaurant closes at 5 pm. He kept us waiting and he came back and said he didn't have anything left. Horrible customer service. read more

This place did not live up to my expectations after reading all the fantastic reviews. First of all they donnkt serve agua de Jamaica or coke to drink. I ordered the chilaquiles de pollo and was very disappointed. They had no flavor. They were so bland, even after putting the salsa picosa that they brought. Next I ordered a cappuccino without foam. The girl insisted that what I really wanted was a flat white so that is what she brought me. It was more of a latte than a cappuccino. Very weak. I think the building is nice and clean and it is a nice ambiance and the the service was great but I was Disappointed with the food. Also it was expensive for merida. I think the chilaquiles were 120 pesos. If I went back I would not order those things again. read more

This is an amazing spot to start your day exploring beautiful Merida. Huevos rancheros are a creation from the same maya gods! Amaziiing!!!

As I sit in El Barrio, I breathe in the charm of the beautiful city of Merida. Scrumptious smells fill my nostrils with the sweet and savory flavors of comida y café. Great Breakfast! Started with two pan dulces - orange and chocolate. They were warm and delicious. I got a delightful double espresso and mi amiga had a wonderful horchata (iced rice milk) with Cacao. For our main breakfast dishes we had a breakfast sandwich without meat (just egg) that came with a delightful salad and spicy potatoes. We also purchased a dish with beans, tomatoes paste, egg and fried tortilla (also ordered without meat). When the crisp tortilla was delicately punctured, a perfectly cooked sunny-side-up egg slithered out. What a treat! The waiter spoke some English and lots of fast Spanish. Service was relaxed - a common place in Mexico. Our menu was in Spanish. After breakfast we took a wonderful stroll down the wide welcoming sidewalk of El Paseo de Montejo to view some eloquent houses. It was if the trees and architecture were greeting us with a warm hug and soft "Bienvenidos a Merida". read more

This place lived up to the great reviews. The presentation and quality of the food was fantastic and the service great as well. Best breakfast I have had in Merida by far. We would love to return again. Tip: Bring cash as they don't take credit. read more
