Oliva Enoteca

Into pizza, pasta, mozzarella, or a good bruschetta? Mérida doesn’t have tons of great Italian spots, but Oliva Enoteca totally hits the mark for me. It’s one of the city’s nicer places, right on the popular restaurant row – Calle 47.

130 Grados Steakhouse

A friend recommended this steakhouse to us, and the very next night we were the first ones through the door. I’ve been raving about it to everyone ever since.

Catrín

From their perspective, the restaurant Catrín reinvents Mexican cuisine. And to be fair, the menu does push beyond the usual expectations. The dishes combine traditional flavors with creative twists, blending local ingredients in unexpected ways.

Micaela Mar & Leña

The restaurant Micaela Mar & Leña has several advantages at once. First and foremost, the food is exceptional, featuring a mix of Mexican cuisine with a focus on seafood, meats, salad variations, and more.

Cafetería Impala

The time-honored Cafetería Impala is a favorite among locals since 1958. This Mérida institution is popular day and night with long opening hours from 8:00 am to 2:00 am.

Baretto Espresso Bar

The Baretto Espresso Bar is a small and charming espresso bar on Calle 47 ("the Restaurant Row"), right next to Café Marmalade 47.

Marmalade 47

Marmalade is a café with two locations in Mérida. One (Marmalade 47) is on Calle 47, also known as the Restaurant Row (Corredor Gastronómico), near the beginning of the street, right next to Baretto Espresso Bar.

Latte Quatro Sette

Latte Quattro Sette is a charming Italian café located on Calle 47, right in the heart of the city's Restaurant Row (Corredor Gastronómico).

El Lucero del Alba Cantina

Cantina El Lucero del Alba really won me over with its cozy, down-to-earth vibe. Don’t go expecting fancy décor – it’s all about the charm of a classic, old-school cantina. By the way, "El Lucero" means "dawn star," which somehow fits the atmosphere perfectly.
