    Highly recommended by locals, and caters to sea food. The place make you feel like you are at the beach. The waiter was very attentive, and answered all our question about the offerings. I decide for a sea food soup, delicious! And coconut shrimps, 8 big shrimps. Prices are right, and service was fast. I highly reccomend this place also.

    Great regional seafood fare. 0ne o'clock lunch time was not crowded. Bright, cheerful atmosphere, uncrowded tables. Fried shrimp platter came in large or medium sized shrimp that was served with lettuce, tomato, tortillas, mayo etc. Excellent portion of guacamole and chips. Service was very efficient with typical Yucatecan friendliness.

    It's a little hot because they don't have AC, but everything else is great! Prices are on the cheap side. Flavor is great. My favorite dish here is the fried octopus (Pulpo frito).

    It's hot in there. But service is great and so are the crab claws!

    Excellent ceviche for an excellent price. Highly recommended. Wish they were open later than 6 p.m. We tried the shrimp and fish ceviche and it was so fresh. The portions were large for 2-3 people (all depends on how much each person eats ;) ) We will keep going back as often as I can.

    Excellent food, service and the place are barely good. We got seated on the back where bad smells interrupted the excellent cuisine

    This was our first time… and let me just say it didn’t disappoint. We only came here for the ceviche and we were shook of how OUTSTANDING it was. We ordered the shrimp and fish ceviche, medium size and it was plenty of food for 2. The service is great, you get the beach vibe and they even give you a sample of shrimp soup. We paid a total of $15. USD including tip and a drink. A MUST TRY IN MERIDA!!!
