My wife and I have been to the Colonia Mexico location many times but had never tried the Centro…read morelocation because parking is usually scarce. Since we were already heading that way, we took a slight detour to see if there might be an elusive parking spot on Calle 51. It wasn't looking too promising, but we lucked out and found a spot on the next block. When we entered the restaurant, we got the last available table. For those who don't know, the Centro location is small, with five small tables and a few seats at the counter. We ordered coffee. The menu is the same as the other location, so I went with my favorite: the omelette en costra, an omelette with cheese baked on the outside to make a nice crust, served with bacon, half an avocado, and their delicious sourdough toast. My wife chose the grilled cheese, which she said was divine. The coffee was also delicious. Service was very good overall, although our waiter never brought my wife water after she asked for a glass. It wasn't an inexpensive breakfast, but I think the prices were reasonable considering the quality. Our two dishes and two coffee drinks came to $550 MXN before tip. My wife said the bathrooms were nice and clean.

From Chicago, first time at SOCO today. Here are some thoughts:…read more -We came in on a Sunday mid morning for brunch. There was a steady stream of internationals for the hour we were there, must be located near a larger hotel. -We ordered a chocolate croissant for an appetizer. It was good. -I ordered the chilaquiles with green salsa and chicken. I really enjoyed the chicken, but overall not great. -My wife ordered eggs and toast, not great. And they charged us extra for butter and jelly. -She had an Americano, I ordered a latte. Both were good. They forgot to bring hers out. With all the great cafes in Merida, I cannot recommend SOCO : (

Looking forward to going back next time I'm in Merida. Process: You pick up a pan and use tongs to pick out your items. Take your items to counter one, where they give you a list of your items to take to counter two. At counter two, you pay for the items while counter one bags up your order. Once you pay, you go back and grab your items.

Every bite had me questioning my life choices (like why I haven't been here sooner). The pastries? Outrageously delicious. The vibe? Cool enough to make your iced coffee jealous.
