Las Vigas - Mérida

Best option in town. They have a/c and the food is fantastic. All super cheap. It is located in close to the main plaza.

Don't be scared off by the fact it is upstairs inside the Los Arcos hotel. Small, authenic, we were the only tourists there. We had chicken nachos, enchilidas, and quesadilla wow were they all great. We could not finish them. If we were here longer we would definately go back.

Decent budget option. Lemonade, sopa de lima, enchilada with shrimps were surprisingly good. Pasta with bolognese sauce wasn't very nice.

Ate there this afternoon after reading about it on a blog a couple of days ago. Found the food to be very average chips not even warm and the ribs overcooked and small. My friend's enchiladas were OK the best thing about them was that they were at the right temperature and that you could identify it as chicken. Certainly not somewhere I will rush back to based on this visit.

A pub/bar upstairs from a small hotel lobby. I wasn't sure I was in the right spot so I asked the girl standing behind the hotel reception counter and she just kinda nodded her head. I carefully went up the narrow stairway which led me to what looked like an empty space with tables and chairs. Turning to the right, you see where the action is. I was told to sit anywhere. Asked for an English menu but they had none and none online either. Not very welcoming at this point so far. Then a guy came over who sounded and looked like an American and gave me a rundown on the menu. I chose the ribs which is what the guidebooks told me to get. They were very fatty and a much smaller portion than you would expect from an order of ribs. And the fries were cold and tasteless. I wouldn't return.
