El Trapiche - Mérida

After a long day of exploring the Centro Histórico, I stumbled upon this restaurant and decided to give it a try. From the moment I walked in, I felt welcomed and relaxed. The atmosphere was friendly and inviting, the perfect respite after a day of walking. As for the food, I ordered the traditional cochinita pibil tacos and they were absolutely an experience. The meat was cooked to perfection, tender. I personally would have loved more seasoning on the meat; however, what elevated tacos apart were the salsas. The pico de gallo was fresh and spicy, while the red and green salsas added a nice depth of flavor. I couldn't get enough of them! I also had the sopa de Lima and it was good. Overall, my experience at this restaurant was positive and satisfying. The food was delicious, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was just what I needed to wind down after a busy day. If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking it out!

Haven’t gone wrong with a dish here yet! We tried the sopa de lima, an alambre, the consome de pollo, and the fajitas! All well prepared and very tasty. Make sure they give you their two salsas, pico de Gallo, and the limes! Doctor up your food for maximum spice and deliciousness. We have come here twice because we liked it so much!

They have tasty vegetarian papazdules and refreshing chaya juice. Service was pretty good although it was crowded during lunch time.

One of our favourite places to eat in Merida. Don't be fooled by the tatty, faded pictures of food outside the restaurant... the meals are delicious, the staff friendly and helpful, and the location is just steps away from the main central plaza. Excellent value for tasty local dishes.

We ate here several times, both for dinner and breakfast. We enjoyed the food and service each time. My boyfriend loved cochinita pibil and I was happy to find (possibly vegan) enchiladas verde. Prices are in between the ones in local joints and the ones in touristy spots. Great place to try some local specialities!
