    The menu has totally changed which for me all the sudden disqualifies one of my favorite cafes. They went from serving packets including everything and refill coffees to charging, $40 for the first cup of black coffee, $50 for the REFILL, and$15 for the creamer. So it is a great place and the food is great, but it's now for the tourist or the rich people of Merida. I refuse to go to a cafe for breakfast that's charging 50 pesos for each refill , plus additional for the cream.

    Food was not great at all. The very unfriendly male server with the beard tried to gaslight me into thinking I received the meal I ordered, which was completely different from the picture. I just ate it to be kind. Service was trash! Even though the little pregnant one was nice, they all walked around like they haven’t been paid their salaries in a while. Atmosphere was cute, but dark and filled with ants 🐜……. They do provide a spray for you to spray the chairs and yourself to keep the ants at bay. Would I go here again? Absolutely NOT!!! I recommend better customer service and upkeep of the place since it’s outside.

    Excelente food, service, and drinks. I was told to get the giant quesadilla and it did not disappoint. My only complaint is the desserts are from Costco, so skip dessert.

    How fresh was this dish? So fresh that after the friendly staff took my order, I watched the chef walk across the street to Mercado de Santiago to get the ingredients for this deliciousness.

    We just had coffee and a croissant which were both quite good. The atmosphere was very nice and chill, especially after the chaos of the market.

    Breakfast was simply amazing and the staff was so nice and helpful. We don't speak a lot of Spanish but they helped us figure out what to order. The hot cakes were very tasty...thick but not heavy. The smoothies are huge and delicious. Definitely try this place. We plan to go back for breakfast another day.

  • 5/5 Germán M. 3 months ago on Google • 31 reviews New
    Phenomenal food. The quesadillas were unreal. I had cecina and poc chuc. We went back, and the baguette sandwiches were also great. Service was slow, but it didn't matter. Worth it!

  • 5/5 Khalid H. 3 months ago on Google • 6 reviews New
    The breakfast experience here was fantastic sitting under one of the red umbrellas! I ordered the omelette with mushroom and cheese. I avoided the refried beans though because they make it with lard. I got some potatoes instead. And these potatoes were seasoned perfectly with herbs! The waiter was very helpful to help navigate the menu to avoid pork ingredients and provide access to wifi. Highly recommend this spot.

    (Translated by Google) The place is very nice, lets you enjoy the moment. There is no ambient music, so you can hear the birds and the sounds of nature. The food is delicious. The cocoa-coffee drink is delicious. (Original) El lugar es muy agradable, te permite disfrutar del momento.

  • 4/5 Gerardo G. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is very cozy, typical cafes and restaurants in Merida, the taste of good food to dry, service was not the best, but I mean, we were treated great, the problem is that they had the place packed to 1 Attending person, after the owners joined but it had been quite a while, they forgot to bring us some drinks and did not give us the fruit that was included in the breakfast package. It is a good alternative except that detail. (Original) El lugar es muy acogedor, típico de los cafés y restaurantes en Mérida, el sabor de los alimentos bueno a secas, el servicio no fué de lo mejor, pero lo explico, nos trataron fenomenal, el problema es que tenían el lugar lleno y 1 persona atentiendo, después se sumaron los propietarios pero ya había pasado bastante tiempo, se olvidaron de llevarnos algunas bebidas y no nos dieron la fruta que venía incluida en el paquete desayuno. Es una buena alternativa salvo ese detalle.

    Cafe Montejo is a wonderful place, one of our favorites to have breakfast or just to enjoy a good cup of of coffee in a beautiful garden patio. They have a great menu, fresh squeezed juice, plenty of smiles. We love it !

    The food portions are hearty. We loved the pancakes. The service was slow but the food was really good. They had run out of decaf coffee which was odd considering it was a weekday at 9:30 am.

  • 5/5 Connor M. 1 year ago on Google
    I had the mole chicken enchiladas. They were absolutely delicious. The mole was rich and intense. They had a lovely salsa macha on the side as well as another hotter salsa, both of which were very tasty with the enchiladas. To drink I had the limonada. It cut through the richness of the mole beautifully. It was a relaxing atmosphere with nice music playing. Overall it was a very positive experience. I'd highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area.

  • 5/5 Major T. 1 year ago on Google

  • 4/5 Jackie F. 1 year ago on Google
    We had lunch here - Local yucateco food was flavorful and delicious. Service was prompt, tables a bit small for 4, but manageable. Some repair work in back corner did not allow 5 stars for ambience but lovely homey place. Would recommend to anyone.

  • 5/5 Joseph C. 6 years ago on Google

    I love the enchiladas suizas that they serve on the breakfast menu. A friend and I met here for breakfast and spent 4 1/2 hours visiting in the comfortable, lovely courtyard, eating, drinking coffee, then lemonaide. Perfect environment for a delicious meal and quiet conversation!

  • 5/5 Toni S. 4 years ago on Google
    My husband & I had our first breakfast in Mérida here. The Huevos Rancheros and the Huevos Motulenos Mole were spectacular!! Coffee is so so by American standards and that won’t stop us from coming back many times. This was the best breakfast imaginable!

  • 5/5 Kirsti H. 5 years ago on Google
    Delicious coffee, great menu selection and friendly staff. I highly recommend sitting in their open courtyard. The only thing was that there were a few mosquitos but our server aimed a fan at us to shoo them away.

  • 5/5 Amy S. 4 years ago on Google

  • 3/5 Al R. 4 years ago on Google
    Our trip to Merida looking for something to eat, Google sez they are here(behind closed doors they are hard to find ) . Many Cafe's and Restaurants are not marked. We met the Owner on our way back from an evening meal. We went for breakfast, Coffee was Good however a bit expensive. Emma went with us, we sat on the Patio water was brought as requested. Service was Good, Atmosphere was nice. lavor of the food was not spicy. They close from 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm. We would return.

  • 5/5 Robert S. 4 years ago on Google
    We returned again, this time for late breakfast. My wife had eggs I had hotcakes both were very good. All topped with a great cupochino with cream tops. The only thing missing was brown sugar bot the regular sugar was ok. We will return soon with our friends. Enjoy.

    The breakfast plates were so delicious we made it a point to visit twice for our 4 day vacation. We would’ve made it three days but they were closed on Sunday! The ambiance is relaxing and the staff was incredibly friendly and attentive! I took a second Cappuccino Caramelo Frío to go! 10/10 recommend!!!
