    It is a nice place. Service was regular. However, we went there because everyone told us it was a good place to dance salsa but at the time we started dancing we were told that it is not allowed to dance due to the pandemic, I really believe they should warn people about it before letting them in. I understand the current situation and that's why they should be clear with people since the beginning. There was live music but it was sad, to not be able to dance, we left the the place as soon as we finished our beer. Maybe later it will be a good place or if you don't plan to dance it might be a good place for you.

    Staff is arrogant. You cannot see their menu without scanning QR code (they didnt give us the Wi-Fi password) so you cannot see the prices and the offer and We also couldnt see the promo happy hour - they didnt tell us that they have one. Back We saw It at home. I can't forget the waiter's arrogant sneer when I told him we were leaving. Absolutely dont recommend.

    Good atmosphere and music, but if you expect good mezcal cocktails, consider to go elsewhere. Mezcalita (Margarita con Mezcal) takes like water with way too much lime juice. Drink are very large though.

    Loved the place! Came there early and had full attention of amazing manager and waiters, who served me grasshoppers and had fun watching me eat them for the first time😜 I must admit it was super cool and the interior of the place and variety of drinks just charmed me. In general they made you feel very welcome.

    Very disappointed. Margarita had a soapy artificial taste, staff was quite rude and ignorant from the beginning. Tourist trap, please avoid

    It's a nice bar with live music. The prices for the drinks are also good, but you've to wait an eternity for your drinks. They have like 3 (slow) barkeepers for 250+ people.

    Great place to party downtown Mérida. You get a free shot of mezcal on the way in and there's lots of events going on. The DJs are pretty cool 😎.

    Went on a Sunday night. A bit quiet but good service. Many drink options and a nice place to hangout outside.

    The place looks nice but cocktails are horrible, margarita tastes like a bad lemonade. I had 3 sips out of a big jar and left it. Stick with tequila shots.

    Cheap drinks and nice vibe with life music. Only con was that the bartender kept following us and wanted to charge us our neighbors tables bill even though we had already paid, so be careful they don’t charge you for anything you don’t consume.

    Place is nice, fun salsa classes. staff not so nice. Always in a bad mood. Lady at the entrance almost didn’t let me in because of my ID (it was a driving license, an official document)

  • 5/5 John H. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome bar. Good crowd, nice drinks. Deep mezcal selection. Didn’t try the food but the menu looked nice. Great location. Open really late every night. Lots of fun. Definitely make a stop here if you like mezcal or good cocktails.

    This damn place slaps just like their sister bar La Negrita, and slaps HARD. If you are looking to hear some ear blasting raggaeton mixed in with other hot house tracks then this is the perfect destination. The reviews don’t really capture how great and versatile this place is. Wait staff is accommodating and attentive. They bring snacks too just like La Negrita as long as you vibing and buying drinks. Once again, I am so jealous we don’t have places like this back in California. It absolutely slaps.

    Great cocktails for good prices and nice decor. We enjoyed it so much in the afternoon that we came back in the evening to find a DJ playing the best club music we've heard outside of Netherlands. Great place for a lively evening full of drinks, snacks and dancing.

    Fun spot to dance salsa, have good drinks and enjoy the night. Live band and dj to keep the party rockin.

  • 4/5 jimmy n. 1 year ago on Google • 20 reviews
    We walked by and almost chose to go somewhere else since it looked empty and quiet. Gave it a chance and when you walk to the back outdoor area, there’s tables and stage and is much larger and livelier than the front makes it seem to be. There was live music from a great band, people were dancing and having drinks. Prices are normal, service was a bit slow but overall a fun experience and would return for drinks.

  • 5/5 Benjamin N. 1 year ago on Google
    Was only there for drinks and the scene but wow. a very fun, lively bar with impressive live music and salsa lessons. Perfect end to a day touring Merida

  • 5/5 Juliet for O. 2 years ago on Google
    Great bar with very affordable drinks (eg a glass of mezcal cocktail is 40 pesos). Great interior & music. Must be very lively here at night.

  • 5/5 Kelly 2 years ago on Google
    What a fun salsa bar to visit. It was very loud but open w outdoor areas and a live band. We each had a drink & watched the people salsa dance. It's a fun place, clean with a nice upstairs balcony that we went up to.

  • 5/5 Elizabeth G. 2 years ago on Google
    This is a great spot. They have an awesome outdoor seating area. The drinks and food are delicious and are a fair price. The people are very nice here too, especially when you don't speak Spanish well. They have a good COVID protocol - hand sanitize, temperature check, and take your phone number down in case of a breakout.

  • 5/5 Tina R. 2 years ago on Google
    My new favorite bar. Staff was friendly and helpful. Nice layout and decoration. I wasn't a fan of the band, but once they left the music was good. I also loved the overall atmosphere. We literally ended up talking and dancing with all the people from the four tables surrounding us. Fun night!

  • 3/5 Dirk B. 2 years ago on Google
    I liked the bar downstairs but upstairs they were so paranoid and weird. I already spent $700 pesos In the place and they wanted me to pre pay upstairs for mi mezcal. Rude and very clueless bartender.

  • 4/5 Marion T. 4 years ago on Google
    Went there for drinks. Very nice atmosphere, live band we really enjoyed it The only thing I didn’t like is the woman coming to you 10 seconds after seating to try to sell us something, it was a promotion on a rum. I mean, come on, can we at least seat and look at the menu :x

  • 5/5 Anne H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place for cheap and good cocktails, 110 pesos for a huge jar (around half a litre or even more). On wednesday they had a free salsa class for beginners around 22:00, which was good fun. After the class a live band started, so you can immediately practice and watch the pro’s as more people went on the dancefloor.

  • 4/5 Seth E. 1 year ago on Google
    The food here is excellent but also rather 🤑 so watch your wallet.

  • 3/5 Onur �. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice atmosphere but that’s about it. Service is very slow, 30mins until someone came around so that we could ask for the bill. The mezcal margarita was like a lemonade without alcohol

  • 4/5 Nadine M. 1 year ago on Google
    tends to be quite fun :) likes for womens washrooms can get insane though! the music is awesome here too! very easy to switch between dancing and sitting if youre getting tired of one or the other!
