    Manjar Blanco was listed as one of the good places to visit and was also featured on Netflix And did live up to those expectations. We had some delicious refreshing lemonade to start with and the platter. This allowed my friends and me (vegetarian) to try some of the different options. My friends said the sausages (launganistas?) were to die for For vegetarians: There were several options and I had a delicious taco style dish and really good soup

    I don’t know, I think I’d give it somewhere between 3/4 stars. Place is hyped, has a really nice patio and dish presentation is colorful which explains the inclusion in mentioned Netflix show. Service was okay, however food was disappointing. Tacos aren’t explicit at all. Pork meat was fairly dry, not marinated. Tortillas were really good, however I can easily name couple places with more impressive tacos. It’s all about the presentation. Marinated onions and empanadas were really nice. Prices are really reasonable so no hard feelings.

    A nice spot with AC for classic Yucatecan fare. The cochinita tacos were tasty. Place has been made famous on Netflix on The Taco Chronicles.

    An absolute sublime experience from the moment you approach the door. The place itself it’s beautiful, the patio spacious and fresh, a room with air conditioning if you prefer it. But most importantly, a very attentive and professional staff that will help you with anything you need. Food itself it’s great, I’ve been only a few times but every time everything was delicious, well prepared and fast. Once I had to leave very fast and I managed to eat and pay super fast, proof of an excellent service. Definitely a must go if you are in the area.

    Very good food and they are quick to serve. I've only had the tacos and tostados. I liked the tostados far better as they seemed to come with more than the tacos, but in saying that the meat is tasty and fabulous. You don't go wrong with either

    We came here for an early dinner upon recommendation of a friend. Upon arrival, we were super impressed with the beautiful interior and garden area that we chose to dine in. My husband has been a little I’ll lately, so he wanted something easy on his stomach. He ordered the Sopa de Lima upon recommendation of our server. Good choice. I ordered the Queso Relleno and I don’t think I could’ve ordered anything better. Both dishes were so tasty and pleasant…… yummmmm!!!! We will definitely be back to try other items on the menu.

    Our best meal in Mérida, and that's saying something based on all the great choices in that city! Quiet tranquil courtyard, large portions of all the authentic Yucatan classic dishes,.and ice cold beer! Note: only open for breakfast and lunch!

    we were a group of 6, arrived without a reservations, luckily they were extremely accommodating and we had a great meal. It is a nice, clean location where you can enjoy local foods, with a different "vibe" than at a market or taco stand, but with all the incredible flavors.

    This place was voted one of the best on Netflix for their cochinita pibil and they didn’t disappoint! Their cochinita pibil was excellent and their tortillas were some of the best I have had yet, their refried beans were also on point. Overall, so yummy and a must try.

    We had an amazing time. We didn't know we were having mediocre Cochinita Pibil until we went here. That was the best tasting Cochinita Pibil ever. The little bit of everything starter was a great way to sample some of the amazing dishes here. All were tasty.

    One of the best cochinita pibli I ever had, Chaya with LIMA is great, and the manjar blanco dessert is the best. Came again, quality is great, service is good. You need to come with time speed is not their brand. So take your time. Poc Chuc, Lomitos de Valladolid are just fabulous. Hidden jewel in Merida.

    This place is awesome minus the mosquitoes that were enjoying my leg in the courtyard. I didn’t try many things as I was solo but the pork tacos was delicious and while not a fan of pickles onions these were not bad. Paired with black bean soup and all was good washed down with a good cerveza of course. Can’t wait to return and try other dishes.

    This restaurant is very lowkey but very yummy. We were able to be seated quickly and the staff was accommodating to dietary restrictions. They really wanted to make sure they knew all ingredients before telling someone it was suitable for them. We got pitchers of different juices for the table: hibiscus and dragon fruit. They were both delicious. I got the queso relleno negro. It was delicious with a little spice to it!

    Probably the best Yucatán food we have had yet. Correct size portions, and chilled out atmosphere. Service was quick and attentive.

    I wanted to love this place so badly after watching taco chronicles but with all my experience eating cochinita pibil it did not live up to the hype. The service is attentive and friendly. The back garden is beautiful for sitting and I do think that is worth the visit. But the food is nicely plated lacks flavor to take it to the next level. The Cochinita pibil panuchos at Kuuk are the same price but notably better.

I particularly recommend eggs with Temozón meat (it is smoked beef). (Original) ¿Buscas dónde desayunar rico y barato en Mérida? Yo hallé este lugar y cumple ambos aspectos.

    Tried the netflix famous tacos and they lived up to their expectation. The main dishes we ordered was evidently well made and presented, but perhaps weren't our preference, who knows. The garden is lovely to sit in whilst inside was empty and looked a little bit like it was closed from outside the front, glad we sat outside. Great service.

  • 5/5 Amanda M. 1 year ago on Google
    I won’t lie, we literally came here because of Netflix and I’ve never been less embarrassed to admit something so mainstream. The fruit plate was beautifully arranged and heaping with papaya and melon, served with fresh Mayan honey and toasted granola. We also ordered the “Netflix” special and I’m pretty sure we could have eaten two plates worth. The juice is the freshest I’ve had and I honestly didn’t miss not having booze with breakfast.

    (Translated by Google) It is a 100% Yucatecan place the food is good and the menu is Yucatecan dishes, delicious, well made. I do not give 5 bursts because one day we went to breakfast I liked salbutes (but without the fat, without frying), when I asked the waiter if they could be made only in the comal, without frying, he told me that that was NOT possible . The truth is that I was amazed but still say that I gave the benefit of the doubt and asked if the reason was that they were already made. He said no, that this was simply not how they were done and that it was NOT possible. ~ English version: It is a 100% Yucatec restaurant, the food is good and the menu offers only Yucatec dishes, good and well done. I am not giving 5 stars because my experience there last time we went for breakfast. I oredered salbutes, but before that, I asked if they could please make them on the "comal", meaning not deep fried. Well, they said NO. I was shocked and to find out why, I asked if the reason was because they already had them made. Another NO, the waiter backed up his amswer by saying that it was simply not the way they are made. Final. (Original) Es un lugar yucateco 100% la comida es buena y el menú es de platillos yucatecos, rico, bien hecho.

La verdad es que me asombré pero aún así digamos que dí el beneficio de la duda y le pregunté si la razón era que ya los tenían hechos. Me contestó que no, que simplemente así no era como se hacían y que NO se podía. ~ English version: It is a 100% Yucatec restaurant, the food is good and the menu offers only Yucatec dishes, good and well done.

    Amazing food! Best Pibil! Service was great. We went at around 3 pm which was quieter than earlier and had a table straight away (table for 2). The place is really beautiful and a lot bigger than I initially expected! We took the table in the garden but there is also an AC area inside.

    The food looks impressive when it's served, but it's not that good. Flavors are pretty bland, there is only one type of salsa and the chicken on the panuchos was dry. There are many better places to eat in Merida.

    Had an amazing meal here. Enjoyed the empanadas, the panuchos, and the sopa de Lima for starters. The Longaniza de temozon was also delicious with fabulous fresh tacos. Beers are cheap. Service is friendly. Definitely recommend. A nice shortish menu of local cuisine.

  • 3/5 Callum Y. 5 years ago on Google
    Our experience at this highly rated restaurant didn't live up to the hype. We ordered the queso relleno and lomitos de valladolid. Both were cooked well, and were more refined options of classics, but lacked what is most important to me - flavour! The food is mid-ranged pricewise for Mérida at about 150 pesos per main. For what we received I wouldn't go back, too many other good options in the city.
