Cafetería Pop y Restaurante Pórtico del Peregrino

My wife and I have been coming to this restaurant for years, and it always stands out as the best among the many breakfast spots we frequent. Adrian and Luis are our regular servers, consistently providing excellent service. The quality of the food, the cleanliness, and the peaceful back patio—our favorite spot—make this place a true gem. While I haven’t tried lunch or dinner, I can confidently say the breakfast is incredible.

A nice local diner with choices of coffee, juice and a bunch of brunch dishes. It’s also open during night. Atmosphere is quiet and waiters are very patient to help non-Spanish speakers with translator. Tried Huevos motuleños and Chicken in Salsa Sauce. Complimentary French bread and white toast smells really good. They are great match with salsa. The salsa is only a little spicy. Love both! The fresh melon juice is very refreshing.

This is very nice place for breakfast and or lunch. I had breakfast of scrambled eggs with bacon. It came with toast and fruit cup. Spouse had chicken fajitas. All was very good. Service is good. Place is clean. Mostly local when I visited and mostly Spanish spoken. Highly recommended.

I’ve been here few times Service is good, I loved the guacamole. Seems like this restaurant has been around for awhile. Owner is nice

This place has a very friendly staff, great food, and excellent prices. For being so close to downtown it’s very inexpensive.

The name is wrong on these pics. It's actually Cafetería Pop, which is right next door and owned by the same people. This is the first restaurant I remember eating at in Mérida back in 1992 when I was a little kid! These days my kids and I go about once a week, and it's their absolute favorite. My 7 year old lives for their sopa de lima. The servers are the absolute best I've ever encountered, and the food is fabulous. They have standard diner fare, Mexican specialties, and a cool 1970's decor.

Really nice, low-key, café and restaurant with a pretty, tropical courtyard and internal dining areas. We had breakfast here a few times and really enjoyed the paquetes which included either juice or a bowl of fruit, huevos mexicanos, toast, butter, jam and coffee with 2x refills. Great value at about $150mxn per person. All served discretely and politely. Recommended

What a great little place. We discovered this gem close to our hotel while in Merida. The menu has a nice selection of items, even if you want to stray from the ordinary offered elsewhere. I highly recommend the tortilla soup and the spaghetti bolognese. The food is great and portions are generous. The service was prompt and friendly. No wonder the reviews tell tales of people returning for years.
