“ Wow wow wow. The cochinita pibil was outstanding, I want to go back for more already. Wonderful. It's unfair for us to rate the atmosphere because as we were the only ones in there. It was 4pm in 41 degrees. We just wish they were open for dinner. ”
“ Nice and spacious. Yucatan's traditional dishes. Outdoor area, but if you prefer there's air conditioner. Food is great and service was awesome. Highly recommend. ”
“ The best diner for the best price around Centro Historico. The prices are more reasonable than Chayo Mayo or museo de Gastronomia and I dare say the food is better. Excellent empanadas and the best sopa de lima. Cochinita is cooked to perfection. Excellent dessert called manjar blanco. ”
“ We came near the end of the day for an early dinner. The plato manjar blanco (440 pesos) is huge, and enough to feed two people. It's a great way to sample many dishes - it includes panuchos, cheese empanadas, tortillitas tropicales, longinza, and poc chuc. We also ordered the cochinita pibil, which was good but it was far too much food for 2 people. The tortillas were also fresh and delicious. I also recommend the chaya/lemon agua fresca, which was so good. The staff were super friendly, and very easy to get by even if you have limited Spanish. ”
“ Manjar Blanco in Merida offers a delightful brunch experience that beautifully showcases Yucatecan cuisine. This charming restaurant serves traditional dishes with a modern twist. A lot of Vegetarian options available. The refreshing hibiscus and Chaya juices are perfect complements to the meal. With attentive service and a welcoming ambiance, Manjar Blanco is a must-visit spot for brunch in Merida ”
