7 RESTAURANTS TO EAT IN MéRIDA, MEXICO (GOOD AND CHEAP)

Send

Mérida is the capital of Yucatan and, how could it be otherwise, it is also its most interesting gastronomic center. Along its streets you will encounter an incredible amount of good restaurants, and it will be difficult for you to decide on one. To make everything simpler, we have prepared this post, where we recommend 7 restaurants to eat in Mérida (good and cheap).

They recommended it to us because it seems to be a city institution. Here you can eat some of the best tacos in Mérida. Castacán tacos (something similar to torreznos) are highly recommended, but there are many types, so the ideal is to try several different types. Taco prices: $ 13-18.

Another great place to try typical Yucatan dishes and from Mexico. We recommend chicken enchiladas with mole, a sauce that, among its ingredients, has cocoa ($ 80). Beyond food, this place has Very good atmosphere, so it’s also a great place to have some beers and listen to live music. Without a doubt it is one of the sites with more personality of all Merida. Tip: it usually gets quite crowded at rush hour, so try to go at odd times.

Traditional Yucatecan Food, prepared with love, that you will find in this place. The prices are slightly higher than the previous ones, but they are still very reasonable: the “Yucatecan flavors” dish, for example, costs $ 117 and includes a turkey panucho, a black stuffed taco, another cochinita pibil and a steamer .

We went our last night and put on our boots. We ask for a chicken mucbil (a typical dish of the day of the dead and that they serve here throughout the year), which consists of a baked dough stuffed with turkey and pork (I do not understand then why it is called “chicken” XD) and wrapped in banana leaves. We also ask for an order of cochinita and a plate of tacos and panuchos. The truth is that we ate very well, but we expected more because of the great fame of the place. We recommend it anyway, eh!

This place that offers simple and flavorful dishes at very good prices ($ 60-80). As you have already understood, it is a restaurant that specializes in Cuban gastronomy. The menu is not very extensive but it does not matter: apparently the dishes are homemade and abundant, you will like them. We also understand that there is always at least one vegetarian option. And I say we understand since we were not ... or rather, we went but it was closed 😛
