Museum of Yucateca Gastronomy

Fantastic and delicious local cuisine! If you come for 3pm you can experience how they cook the meat underground like a tandoori and they offer you a bit as well ! Portion sizes are really good and try the desserts especially the papaya !

The place is incredibly pretty and food isn’t as at all, but it’s not incredibly either. It is still a must go if you’re in Merida. A lot of traditional options and the service is great. You can get a good reference of what your experience in Merida will be like, by having food here on the first day of your trip.

The moment I arrived I was greeted with such great joy. Food was incredibly delicious and the drinks were also great but strong! My server was incredibly informative about everything and made the best recommendations to me as I was on my own but still wanted a variety of foods to try. The pumpkin dip (kind of like hummus) was incredible!!

A very nice establishment. Service is outstanding, English is limited. 4700 pesos for 7 of us so not too bad, but pricy for Mérida. Food was good but there is definitely better.

Food was good. But waiters need education if you want to advertise as your self as "restaurant of gastronomy". They are keep watching tables from behind of customer and keep waiting until they find an empty dish. This felt like very uncomfortable, and someone was keep watching me during my whole meal. Some of waiters were talking in the middle of tables. I understand they can have a rest but if you have nothing to do, just go back to your position and talk there. I couldn't focus on my meal during my whole dining. And even I was eating, waiters came to me and asked me if I want to remove those dishes bloody 4 times! Did they want me to leave as soon as possible? Idk, services of this place is almost same level of taquerias outside. I'll not come back here again.

Everything was amazing and I would even say that this restaurant has the potential to be Michelle recommended. The dishes were beautiful and the tasty. The tortillas chips could use some more love however. The servers explained the dishes in detail and were fast.

Unfortunately, the food is not to my liking. I was recommended Cochinita pibil enterrada but it’s served cold (plate was hot but meat was cold) too salty, and only lean meat was used (maybe it could be the traditional way but it was what made it too tough to chew). Service wasn’t exceptional, I was seated right in the center of the court yard but it’s hard to get the attention of the staff. Once I get hold of them, they’re nice.

They have a beautiful indoor courtyard. The music is romantic classic music. The cheese empanadas were cheesy. The parrillada meal perfect for 2 people and came with handmade tortillas. Tres leches cake was yummy. Great fast service. Local beer. They have the underground food reveal at 3 pm all the way in the back of the restaurant. Authentic Yucatan cooking.
