Came through twice…read more The first was at noon on a Sunday. Joke is on us: we learned they're not open until 2pm (only on Sundays. Otherwise, they're open at noon all other days.) We came through a couple of days later because it came highly HIGHLY recommended by Big Bro. So, I was more curious than anything. Another reason I came through is to try their kibi's. (It topped my Yelp search when looking for this particular grub.) We wanted to get drinks as well since it was a hot and humid day! Pina colada for me, brewskis for Hubbers. We put in an order for the kibis because that's main reason I came through. Drinks came through, and then... mini plates of snacks, oh, WHAT! La botana, is what they call them. Whew, didn't plan on eating more than the kibis, but I welcomed it! It was a pretty good variety, too: there were sausages, pork skin, jicama and some sort of salad. Staff told us if we wanted refills on any or all of them, to let them know and they'd be more than happy to comply. Kibis finally came through, and I have to admit that I was disappointed. Not only did they lack taste, but they were also hard. They may have been overcooked which most likely contributed to the lack of flavor. Initial thought in mind were hockey pucks. Chewing through one was a challenge that I didn't bother going for a second. (It was practically inedible.) The guac, pico de gallo and sauce were great, but didn't do much for the pucks. Hubbers really liked it, though, so there's at least that. FOOD: 2. SERVICE: 4. I noticed staff mostly just hanging out together at the bar, but they were excellent at being mindful of guests. VALUE: 3. 5 for las botanas, 1 for the kibis. PARKING: Street only. It will be a challenge, for sure. OVERALL: 3. FUN FACT: They are the second oldest cantina in Merida (opened in 1917.) I learned the place is far livelier at night when they have bands performing. Someday, maybe...? Not a one-and-done, but it'll be a long minute before a second visit, if at all.

I had a combo of a meal with espresso. The Chilaquiles were not really my thing because they were fancy and not too heavy and had a weird ham on them, but the ambience was great. The servers also were very nice. I think it is worth going here if you'd like a fancy looking brunch without the ridiculous price. The tablecloths had nice linens, so I don't see this as a "bar". Maybe at night it's different but at noon it was absolutely a lovely brunch..

Service was really good! Everyone wanted to help you and make sure you had what you wanted/needed. It only got slow when it was time to pay but not in a horrible way. Our check was missing drinks and we had to get it corrected and then the card reader wasn't working and needed to get swapped out. I told my husband that I thought some drinks were complimentary but he wanted to pay. I could've easily been wrong but it seemed like the drinks were given for us to try. After a full day of flights, I really wanted good food. Sadly, this was not the place for that. The only thing I loved were the French fries and so we ordered a plate of fries. It wasn't on the menu so I was happy they let us order. My shrimp tacos had alot of breading and I didn't taste or see a shrimp. My husband's fish looked like buffalo chicken. I also didn't like two of my drinks and didn't drink them. The margarita had salt inside the drink and the rim. The aperol spritz...not a fan and didn't drink either. Come here for the fun not the food!

What a fantastic experience, from the beautiful ambiance, to the fantastic server (props to Cesar, our server) to the absolutely amazing food and its presentation. This restaurant is an absolute must in Merida and a great representation of modern Mexican cuisine without losing ancestral flavors. The highlight of our meal was without a doubt the Cebollas Negras. What an explosion of delicious flavors and textures! Like nothing we have ever tried before. The Pescado al Carbon was delightful too, and our second favorite dish. The lightness of the fish combined with the strong flavors of the carbon were the perfect pairing. I was in awe of how delicious the different presentations of cauliflower were. We couldn't finish our amazing meal without dessert and boy did it was the perfect way to end our amazing dinner. We couldn't make up our minds so we ended up ordering two. Manjar blanco was a must! Can't wait to be back and try more!

This was a unique char flavored using local recado from charred chilis from the Yucatán which were fried and stuffed with a savory mayonnaise that is flavored. We did like this appetizer was so unique. We also started with the harissa carrots although not traditionally Mexican the flavor was so good. The sauce was so savory and delicious the perfect amount of Salty and savory. We both opted for the burger which is not what we would traditionally choose in Mexico but it was really juicy perfectly cooked and delicious. Was served on a fresh brioche bun with a savory sauce and was served with four house made French fry logs cut in to perfectly cut rectangles. We paired the meal with house margaritas with el himador tequila. Very good and non fussy. Service was good restaurant was not too crowded but nice vibe. You can see the kitchen from the dining room.
