Always amazingly delicious Mexican food. This is my favorite of my "locals" spot. As the name implies, the menu changes daily. There is always a vegetarian option. Very good value. Open air dining.

Aka “BC66” because they now have multiple locations. This is the original, and best location. Great food, great price, great outdoor setting. Good baked goodies..Their market is across the street where you can buy fresh veggies, their canned goods, they have occasional pop-up artisan markets in the lot behind the store on Friday’s I believe. But if you are just going for the food vs the market or events, there is another location on Parque Santiago half a block from the house!

Fantastic tacos y tortas. Great breakfast tacos y salsas. Castacan y Queso taco or the Chilibul taco are a must. So delicious. Definitely a favorite of the local Yucatecos.

Cute little place run by a Cuban family cooking their family recipes. Their son created the art the adorns the walls and their dog hangs out in the back and is available for pets. Open for breakfast and lunch. Only a few tables but I’ve never been turned away.

Definitely what and where the locals eat! Super economical. We always get the family style meal or Trompo Especial, which feeds 4, but we like the leftovers! Very inexpensive & good value. Great location. You can walk off your meal at the Plaza Grande, just a block away.

Really yummy Mexican food with vegetarian options. It is gourmet Mexican, so more of a splurge vs economic option, but a beautiful setting on Parque Santa Lucía. Great date night or special night out with friends.

Very authentic and delicious Korean food. Large menu. Have never been disappointed. A bit more expensive, but worth it if you're craving Korean. Known for their huge selection of ice cream desserts, but I'm always too full for that! Outdoor seating if you want to people watch on the Paseo Montejo. Good vegetarian options. A/C in dining room.

Delicious authentic Italian food. Everything is house made by the owners using their family recipes. Claudia and her family are from Italy but travel the world opening a Carboni in every place they land. We hope the Carboni Merida version is permanent!

Temporarily closed due to COVID

Not sure it’s reopened since the pandemic. Call first! A vegan’s delight! My meat obsessed husband happily goes there with me. They offer 2 choices of a preset menu, each featuring a different style of cuisines a steal of a price! Dining is outdoors in a beautiful setting, poolside in the courtyard of the Hotel MedioMundo. You will have to ring the bell and let them know you’re going to the restaurant. The gift shop has great finds too.
