The 50 best shopping and stores in Merida

Amazing place on Mérida you can walk, eat marquesitas and have fun! Take a lot of photos

Nice walk with explanations along the way, can visit some interesting places such as the concept like Casa Tho

The buildings are beautiful, the area is clean and very safe. Some of the architecture is just amazing and romantic.

Sad to see that many historic buildings are now either empty and abandoned or have become a business. I guess there is no other option.

Beautiful and great atmosphere

Beautiful road of the city of Merida. Clean and modern, perfect road to walk, run and ride a bike. Many beautiful colonial architectures along the road. At day time not many people are walking because of the sun. Approximately from 6pm, people come out.

Nice area to walk and eat. Beautiful buildings

It's good but there is no soap in the washroom....

This place is gorgeous!! IPAs and many other beer options on Tap. 3 stories of various shops (most closed) but still beautiful to walk around. Perfect date vibe. Stays cool most of the time because of architecture. Music in most evenings. Outdoor seating.

It has so much potential and it would be a nice place if the restaurant owners in de mercado gastronomic would to stick to their opening hours. So many times during the day you get there for a late lunch and most counters are closed although Google maps say they should be open. Or food or ice for drinks, is simply not available because they do not stock up. And when it is busy most people bring food from outside, so weird to see Uber eats deliver there instead of collecting orders. The Mercado has a feel it all will collaps pretty soon and everything will close down for good. The outside restaurants are nice and have so much more to offer and they are true to the opening hours listed.

This location has baby food options compared to actual shopping. There's spa experience available within this complex.

I love the place, the stores, the restaurants, everything is beautiful, BUT my friends and I were asked to pay $300 pesos per person in order to stay at the table in the courtyard due to some musicians that were about to play music. I visit every year and in the past , there was no charge . I hope that the administration think this over.

Paseo 60 offers everything in a great atmosphere. We were there on a rainy evening, and it couldn't be a better option. There's food for all tastes, and the experience of the Colon sorbets at the end was the cherry on the cake.

Really nice little mall! I am on a nearby hotel and it is great to walk here hangout and have some great food. Really nice place to be.

A pleasant spot with good food, desserts, and drinks. It’s slightly pricier than others nearby, but the experience and service are worth it. Great for brunch, a date, or a quiet coffee. Shops and galleries with creative designs are also there.

Amazing place! We enjoyed it to the fullest! Had an amazing brunch, bought some art and perfumes. Top notch products and designs.

Lovely place I love to have breakfast when I’m in Merida. I always thought their avocado toast is the best in town but I have to say that recently, I felt it went a bit downhill, probably for the low quality bread they use. The waitress are really nice. The place remains a good place to spend some time and to work from a computer. Expensive for what it delivers. The quality is average!

Well, Mérida is definitely hot and humid — but at Casa Tho, it was a nightmare. We went this morning for breakfast, and while the place itself is beautiful, the experience was very disappointing. We asked them to turn on the fans, but they said there was no electricity — quite odd for such a nice establishment. Service was terrible and breakfast was just okay. It took over an hour for our food to come out of the kitchen, and another 20 minutes just to get the check. Overall, I do not recommend this place. Beautiful setting, but the service and organization were unacceptable.

We've had two lunches here, and we've loved both. The first day we had the avocado an salmon toasts. The next day, I had the tuna tartare and my wife had the spicy ca rrot soup. Everything was excellent. It has a lovely quiet atmosphere, similar to old Singapore (the weather is so similar). The margarita was probably one of the best I've ever had.

You must stop by this place for a divine meal and artisanal shopping. We had some cute cocktails and bites including the arancini and the sandwich made with bacon , grilled pineapple, Gruyère. The stores include an art gallery a carla Fernandez store with amazing clothes and a number of other boutiques including a jewelry spot and some home furnishings

Gorgeous older building with precious courtyard turned into a collection of boutique shops and a restaurant. The shops feature high end designer clothes, products and art. Definitely an interesting stop as you’re exploring Paseo de Montejo.

1st time here, and what a welcome treat to cool you off. Beautiful flavors and amazing vibe. It was not too expensive and a wonderful treat. I had the corn sorbet, and others had the watermelon sorbet. Can't wait to go back.

If you like fruit sorbets which are the perfect level of sweetness, this place is for you. We went back twice and had to try all of the flavours.

Great place to cool down after a short walk (I want to cool down after every walk in this weather). Prices are more than reasonable and the staff is super nice and attentive! Would definitely recommend!

I really don't understand how is that in Merida where the income is quite low an waterbased 🍨,could cost almost 8 usd per scoop. whoever is familiar with a Concrete in the Midwest (USA) could have an idea of what to compare with. I honestly wouldn't recommend this place anymore. NOTE, is not about the price is more about the cost-beneffit os this product. Not worth it.

Loved this place! Area is nice and the outside seating is great. The workers are super friendly and on top of it, the ice-cream is tasty.

The place was excellent. The location was great. We loved the ice cream and the sorbets . The coconut ice cream was Divine. The mantecada shake was amazing. The place is well decorated and the service was also excellent. The entertainment was fine. I am glad that I tried it . I loved it I would totally recommend it. I don't know why is the 4.5 it should be a 5.0.I really recommend it. It was a good recommendation.

Delicious shaved ice! The texture is superb. The ice they use is all purified and sanitary. Good vibes eating desserts right on the beautiful Main Street of downtown Mérida.

By the work "park" I imagine a lot of greenery, trees and benches to relax on, but there is almost none of that in this park. It's more like a small square with three palm trees and restaurants. What's interesting here are two huge white benches (or more like chairs) that you can sit on if you are able to climb them. However, if you are in luck, you may see the Yucatecan Serenade - an open-air dance with live music - taking place in this park every week. I imagine this event is what makes this park interesting.

City park in the historic center of the city. The park has GINORMOUSgossip chairs, the white chairs that face opposite directions for lovers to kiss or gossip to share information. The park is surrounded by restaurants. Once a week there is a city sponsored concert in the park. Get there early to sign a seat for the singing and dancing. The park is easy to get two of you are visiting in the center or the historic center of the city, or a quick Uber ride from the outside of the center. This is a lovely park, but it is just a park. The oldest park in the city of Merida

There’s often events going on at this park, like traditional music and dances. This is an iconic little park in the heart of Merida, so it’s a must visit if you are around the area. The place captures the Mexican culture and colors.

Great plaza a few blocks away from downtown with lots of places to sit and restaurant around the park. Don't miss sitting on the large chairs and get your picture taken. In the evenings there is usually live music.

Beautiful park just blocks from centro. If you're staying on the north side, you can walk past this park every time you're heading to the city center. The park is shaded by beautiful trees, and has 4 restaurants with outdoor seating to relax in the shade. Tucked in the corner is Ki'Xocolatl - authentic Yucatan chocolate that is a must visit, and the perfect place to get some gifts for friends and family when you get back home. Also Grab a few photos at the Sillas gigantes (giant kissing chairs) or wait to get those down in the centro by the Merida sign. One of the favorite things we did was the free walking tour with Gabriel that starts here. This is a great way to see the highlights of the city, the history and a few of Gabriel's favorite places all in 2 hours. Please take my word for it - do this on your first day and you'll feel like you got the insider tour - https://www.freewalkingtourmerida.mx/. Lastly, and maybe most importantly, Yucatecan Serenade, an open-air dance with live music, has been held weekly on Thursday night at 9:00 pm since 1965 right here (now you know what the stadium bench seating is for). Please take my word for it... this is the place to be on Thursday. Locals and travelers alike attend this event and it is always amazing and it is always busy. Get there at 8:00 pm (or earlier) to get a seat at this free event, because it is the place to be! The regional music was played by a full band, and some of the songs were accompanied by traditional dancers. You don't want to miss this on your visit!

This park is full of joy. I went there for the Thursday local dance show which starts at 9 p.m.. The people there are in a really good mood, they are chilling, talking, laughing and just enjoying their time there. Come around 8 to 8.30, find a nice spot to sit. Bring snacks or buy some of the many locals selling snacks, water, coke or buy some food from the food stalls or many restaurants.

Great place to hangout. Several restaurants, little pricey but good food everywhere. Make sure you ask if there are discounts, we got our drinks half price at the Soberana patio.

The mall is almost as hot as outside. Just as humid. Better off at Altabrisa or Galerias.

Very nice mall with a good selection of high quality stores. I especially like the waterfront area in the back and the underground parking.

One of the best malls in Mérida. Has a beautiful lake out back, the Liverpool is huge and has a great selection of international imported goods. The wife enjoys Muy Mucho because is has cute stuff there quite often the Zara home is great for nice niche items also. Only thing La Isla is missing is good food.. the restaurants there are pretty mediocre to be honest. Tatemar was the last good restaurant there and they closed up and moved south of the periferico.

The nicest, high end mall in Merida. Massimo Dutti is one of my favorites.. Very happy they are here. You can also go water skiing!

I love this mall, they have outdoor activities such as zip lining, and water board skiing!! 😆

Beautiful shopping mall with an artificial lake. I loved that it is pet friendly. Has several restaurants and you can walk by the lake. I had a relaxed afternoon.

I visited this mall in March 2019, it was full of life. Today, not! The only advantage is that you can walk in a closed area with AC under the 30+⁰ temperature in Merida, Yucatan

You may say this market is dirty, but it was a great experience to be in the local market in Merida. I loved to see the chilli, fresh fruits, and vegetables.

This market lived up to my expectations, both high and low. There is a curious mix of things and food for sale. The things are colourful and cheap for the most part. Plastic stuff in every shape and colour. Plastic toys, costume jewellery and religious icons and ephemera. Electronics and parts. Clothing for literally cents on the dollar, but nothing I could wear. Size being the problem. I was more interested in the potential for prepared food and refreshments. My expectations were realized in terms of the plenty, however there was no way I was prepared to take a chance on some of these places. I'm not suggesting that the vendors were dirty or lacking in skill in the kitchen. Just a bit outside my comfort zone in terms of my notions of hygiene. Having said this, I did enjoy a few foods and suffered no I'll effects. My concerns were further belayed after a food tour through here the following day. Treat this place as a combination museum and fun house as a tourist. But keep in mind that it is a serious, integral part of community life here in Merida.

The real deal! If you’re used to local Mexico living this is your kind of place, 99% local, actually we saw only locals, but this is where it all happens, best food, best local experience, get your Spanish ready you’re going to need it! My kind of place, friendly, helpful, enjoyable. Can’t wait to go back! Prices are great, the meat market is huge!

Mercado San Benito isn’t just a market—it’s an experience. It’s big, it’s bustling, and it’s got everything. Think of it as the Costco or Super Walmart of regional markets, attached to Mercado Lucas de Gálvez. Walk out of Galvez, and boom—you’re in Benito. This place is a maze of vendors selling fruit next to shoes, next to tacos, next to cell phones. Not a flea market (everything’s new), but it’s got that chaotic, treasure-hunt vibe. Feeling hungry? Don’t hesitate—food here is clean, delicious, and dirt cheap. Pro tip: The market is huge and organized by sections—candy with candy, shoes with shoes, butchers with butchers. It can feel overwhelming, but everyone’s polite, and the prices? Unreal. Must-tries: Cochinita pibil (slow-roasted pork heaven) and a Jamaica juice (refreshing hibiscus drink). you can visit every day and barely scratch the surface! I was fascinated by the people watching as for the food and offerings. I hope you enjoy!!

Mercado San Benito in Merida, Mexico, is a vibrant marketplace that offers an impressive array of fresh fruits, vegetables, regional spices, and household goods at fantastic prices. The lively atmosphere is complemented by the friendly vendors who showcase the region's rich culinary heritage. For the best selection and a more leisurely shopping experience, I recommend visiting early in the day, close to opening hours. It's a delightful destination for those seeking quality produce and local flavors in a charming setting.

Great market to buy produce, clothes etc. I visited the vegetable and fruit stalls.

Huge, authentic market, almost only locals. Very cheap prices. You will find almost everything: Meat, vegetables, fruit, spices, shoes, clothes, hardware, animals... . Craftsmen repair phones, shoes and jewelry. Taco-Factories. Lots of places to eat cheap, local food. All the Hustle and Bustle a market needs!

Galerías Mérida is a beautiful and modern shopping center that offers a pleasant experience. Its air conditioning provides a welcome escape from the Merida heat. A unique and fun feature is the ice skating rink located right in the middle of the mall, offering entertainment for all ages. You'll find a wide variety of local and international brands for shopping. It's a great place to spend a few hours, whether you're looking to shop, grab a bite to eat, or enjoy a bit of ice skating. The overall atmosphere is inviting and contemporary.

It's a mall. But unlike American malls, this one is relevant and busy. A wide variety of stores is available. The food court is small but excellent. The vendors they have chosen complement each other, so there is something for everyone. I had lunch at Arcade. The burger was presented well and tasted excellent. My little one had a ham and cheese quesadilla. After lunch we went to ride the train, then off to the trampoline park (her favorite place). We've already been back several times for the trampolines. Great mall. :)

Mall with an open air ice rink. Not something I thought I’d see in Mexico let alone Merida. Was quite beautiful watching the figure skaters practice.

Omg I love this mall. It has pretty much everything from arcade, gym, you can get a high class facial. The food court has end less food options. Great for solo trips, family outings oh not to mention the skating rink. I will be back.

Nice mall to wall around and get some food at. I have been here at Christmas a few times also, and it's always nicely decorated. Also has a casino attached, and a skating rink

We love this mall. All the usual stores and some you wouldn’t expect. The ice rink is always fun to see. When you want to find something that you can find at any other H&M or Aerie, go here. We like stopping at the Chilis for a marg after shopping as well. A little shopping tradition. Also super convenient that Costco is right across the street.

Absolutely amazing. My daughter had so much fun ice skating. I love it here

Absolutely beautiful merchandise. If I owned a home, I would love to furnish it with several things we saw here. The furniture and textiles are so, so nice.

Lovely store with an array of products, all made by artisans in Mexico. I took with me 8 handmade bull horn napkin holders that I will cherish and pass on to someone when it’s time. They have home decor, clothing, accessories, and so many other handmade gorgeous products. The price might be a bit elevated for some but the quality and craftsmanship reflects that.

Beautiful, unique products that seem to be priced fairly to reflect the high quality of craftsmanship!

Gorgeous boutique, pricey but stunning pieces abound!

Inspirational! MUST VISIT. Mexican Artisan at it's best. Very well priced for the quality and craft.

Unique goods from all over Mexico. Enjoyable even if you don’t want to buy.

Staff was very rude and unhelpful. I was excited about this place but it ended up being just another overpriced store.

An unique shopping experience of mexican made personal goods .. hats , sandals, bags, perfume, tee shirts, shirts curated by the young owner. a good experience and a chance to help the artisans

The one place in Centro we found men's clothes that were plain. Really cute products.

Really cute men’s shop - bought handmade sandals for $15, tried on loads of hats Nice fragrances

Great curated men's store. Mi hijo and I really saw some terrific things in there.

Very cool place with handmade designer fashion from Mexico for affordable prices!

Just a great shop to buy some things for men.

Beautiful clothes. Also they have three corgis.

Super unique store -- pottery, art, perfumes, clothes. We ended up getting two pieces of art that we didn't see anywhere else. Really wish we could have brought some of the big pottery pieces home.

Fantastic shop with art, jewelry, ceramics and clothes from local artists!

Amazing store with an array of products. From clothing, to ceramics, and art. There’s a little bit of everything for everyone, even the little ones (if you have them). My partner and I really enjoyed taking our time to browse because there’s a lot to see. Their stuff is reasonably priced and we really had to restrain ourselves because of limited luggage space. One thing I wish they had when I was there and didn’t, an axolotol hat (which I collect), apparently they were sold out of them and only had kids sizes. I guess it’s an excuse for me to come back next time I’m in Mérida. They packaged the glass vase we purchased very well, so you don’t have to go scrambling for bubble tape else where. I always love that attention to detail. Workers were very helpful without being on top of you, which I also appreciate. Can’t wait to come back!

This was my favorite shopping experience in Merida. The staff was friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable of the designers and pieces. The shop was filled with Mexican designers and a few international. The selection was curated perfectly for the area with lots of bright colors and light weight fabrics. They also had a nice selection of jewelry, beauty,shoes and ceramics. I will be back next time I'm back in Merida to see there new selections.

This store has adorable and unique ceramics, clothes, notebooks, candles and more. The staff is also very friendly. Happy I stumbled into this store 💖

I always find cute trendy things .

A beautiful Little Store to find souvernirs!

If you can avoid this place do it, they advertise free parking not parking at all, you need to park on the street at your own risk. They advertise luxury boutique not true, we tried to go to the upper terrace the bar was in terrible conditions. Excellent staff good breakfast,good location.

Thank you for a lovely stay at Rosas y Xocolate. Our room was right next to the pool which felt like a real treat, as we could enjoy the peaceful atmosphere just off the bustle of the Main Street. Even though there were 3 of us in the room it felt like there was plenty of space, with a separate bedroom and lounge. The staff were friendly and attentive, and patient with me trying to practise my Spanish. We really enjoyed the complementary breakfast, including a hot drink, juice, pastry, and an option from the extensive menu. I would particularly recommend the smoked salmon bagel. The location was perfect, about a 20 minute walk to the main square but lots to see closer too. This was a perfect start to our trip across the peninsula and would recommend Rosas to anyone considering a trip to Merida.

My stay at Rosas & Xocolate Boutique Hotel and Spa in Mérida was a delightful experience that left a lasting impression, thanks to its unique charm and warm hospitality. Nestled in the heart of Mérida, this boutique hotel stands out with its breathtaking architecture and distinctive style. The fusion of colonial elegance with bold pink and chocolate-hued accents creates a visually striking ambiance that feels both luxurious and whimsical. Every corner of the property, from the lush courtyard to the meticulously designed rooms, showcases a thoughtful blend of modern sophistication and Yucatecan heritage. The attention to detail in the decor—think vibrant tiles, artisanal touches, and elegant furnishings—makes it a haven for anyone who appreciates aesthetic excellence.The staff at Rosas & Xocolate deserves high praise for their friendliness and professionalism. From the moment I arrived, they were welcoming, attentive, and eager to ensure my stay was comfortable. Whether it was offering recommendations for exploring Mérida’s vibrant cultural scene or accommodating special requests, their service added a personal touch that elevated the entire experience. The on-site amenities, including the spa and the restaurant, further enhanced my stay. The restaurant, in particular, served up delicious dishes that beautifully blended local flavors with a gourmet twist, making every meal a treat.However, there was one peculiar aspect of my stay that stood out for the wrong reasons: the hotel’s deposit policy. Upon checking in, they charge a deposit, which is fairly standard, but by the end of the stay, they retain a single cent from the refund. This practice felt odd and unnecessary, and it’s something I haven’t encountered at any other hotel I’ve stayed at worldwide. While it’s a minor amount and didn’t significantly detract from the experience, it left me puzzled and slightly annoyed, as it seemed like an unusual quirk for an otherwise polished establishment.Overall, Rosas & Xocolate is a fantastic choice for travelers seeking a boutique hotel with character, style, and heart in Mérida. The stunning architecture, exceptional staff, and unique vibe make it a standout. If you can overlook the odd deposit practice, this hotel is well worth a visit for a memorable stay in the Yucatán. I’d happily recommend it to anyone looking for a blend of luxury and local charm!

This is a really charming hotel in a renovated mansion on a beautiful avenue. I stayed in the master suite - it was bright and airy, had massively high ceilings, was comfortable and spotless. (I did get an upgrade and for those of you with Bonvoy status, the staff did a great job of recognizing and valuing me throughout my weeklong stay. They were helpful, courteous and attentive) Crisiant, the Sales Manager, was particularly helpful. He contacted me promptly after my booking to assist with spa appointments and suggesting and arranging excursions. His assistance was valuable in planning my visit, as I had done little to no research before booking. The hotel's location is convenient for exploring the city. Paseo de Montejo is beautiful, offered a good base for walking to many city attractions and experiencing the local area. There are so many really good restaurants and shops in easy walking distance. It's a really great choice for a more than comfortable stay in Mérida.

I came for the food and dispute all of the less than 5 star reviews, I still went. I have to say the food was fantastic!! I got the Eggs Benedict and the chef did not disappoint!!! From the perfect hollandaise and poached egg to the mimosa...Fantastic!! The service was also top shelf. I was afraid to try the coffee because of all the bad reviewers who complained about the coffee, food and service but I'll definitely try it the next time I go back. If the coffee is the only thing that some people gave bad reviews, I'll skip it!

We always stop by here to get their pear salad. The other food was very good as well.

I've always had a rather ambivalent regard for the Pet Shop Boys. Whilst their tunes are undeniably catchy their lyrics often humorous and clever they are equally often let down by a rather laboured rhyme or a clichéd phrase. However, I've often found myself quoting the line from the song Left to My Own Devices that states "...learn to ignore what the photographer saw" and that's what you need to do at Rosas and Xocolate. Rarely has a website been so misleading. See photos. There certainly aren't any Roses and no Chocolate either 😕 😄 But let's start with the positives. The hotel staff are accommodating and polite (special mention for the breakfast server Sophie) with a comprehensive breakfast menu of decent quality and the location is very good. That's it. Now the reasons I wouldn't return. In general the hotel is unloved and poorly maintained. On arrival, the lobby had a large broken glass candle holder, the corridor had dirty glasses on the floor that remained untouched for over 24 hours and our room (the Master Suite) was tired and inadequately maintained. On arrival, the power shorted, the toilet leaked (this was fixed) the coffee maker didn't work (this too was fixed - but by turning off the refrigerator) and the bed linen faded and poor quality. The breakfast courtyard was dirty and unswept and the windows generally needed a good clean. The overall feel was one of decline and neglect which is unforgiveable in any establishment but given the prices being charged it almost amounts to theft. Read my other reviews; you'll see I'm not given to unnecessary criticism nor over reaction to a single incident of  bad service. There's another lyric from the Pet Shop Boys song Shopping that goes "...our gain is your loss, that's the price you pay". This might just sum up the Rosas and Xocolate experience. P.S. I'm honestly not a big Pet Shop Boys fan.

Amazing fresh market with deep history. Step in here and visit the real Mexico.

You never know what you might discover buying local produce direct from the growers, or shoes made in Merida by local craftsmen. Take some time to wander about the market and learn about the different areas of concentration of types of things being sold. I found a great place to get my shoes repaired, knives sharpened, spice jars filled and lots of artisanal foods including cheese.

Always get everything need here. Love it, just crowded for Nov and Dec.

Love this market very much. It was busy and crowded, full of so many things that stimulate all the senses. So much stuff for sale, both new and used. Very inexpensive. Tons of cooked foods every where, especially in there large food court. Lots of locals shopping for their household needs and eating lunches. Very authentic. I wish I had more time to explore.

Amazing market for just about anything but the wonderful fresh produce is just wonderful! A must see if you are visiting Merida!

Ok, I know it's not the coolest place but fruits and vegetables are cheaper than in the supermarket

Great market with fresh fruits and more

Came on a Sunday around 11am. Easy to find a parking spot right outside for free (not considering the tip for the gentleman). It was a bit overwhelming once the waiters began to yell very aggress for us to check out their menu and competing against each other. But it stopped as soon as I chose one of the many outstretched menus held out at us. The waiter was very helpful and friendly. We chose FRUTI-LUNCH. The menu had a great variety plus nice fresh drinks. We ordered the tacos cochinita, panuchos cochinita, empanadas con carne y queso and one tamal. To drink, we ordered one litre each of mango agua fresca and a mix of mango and pineapple aguafresca. Every order was good and tasty and we were satisfied (2 adults and 2 children) for a total of $505pesos. I thought that was pretty good! We had a few people approach us at our table while waiting for our food and we welcomed it as we actually were interested in the items. One was selling hammocks, another handmade pine fans and another handmade bracelets. They were a bit pushy but budged easily and quickly on the prices. We got a beautiful hammock ($650 pesos) and a fan that smells so nice and is very pretty($100pesos). Sorry about the half eaten food photos, we couldn’t help but dig in before I got some snaps in! That’s first part of our experience was great. The second was disappointing as we expected the place to be full of vendors but most were closed with only about five open. And the bathroom visit was not great either. We had to pay $5pesos pp to use the washroom and they give you a little bit of paper and there are no toilet seats. So once I used the paper for my young one to sit on, there wasn’t enough for her #2! But we figured it out with some leftover napkins in my bag. If I know that it gets busier on another day with all the vendors open, I would give it another try.

This market used to be one of my favorite spots — it had affordable prices, good food, and everything was always kept neat. Unfortunately, things have changed or at least I have seen decline since the beginning. The quality of the food is no longer the same, and it feels like the staff is too tired or overwhelmed to keep the place tidy. For a local market, the prices are now on the high side, which makes it hard to justify coming back as often as before. It’s disappointing to see the decline because it really used to be a great place.

Along most streets after 7:00 pm these energetic people pedal through if there is nice weather or not. The fresh goodies are worth running to the door for. The (pan) bread absolutely wonderful, soft, often oven warm and very economical. No need to go to the market and walk home in the heat. Not usually delivered on Sunday or Monday nights in some zones. When you catch the delivery person ask what nights are available. Once they know you are interested they will often slow and honk the hand operated bicycle horn louder. Please attempt to enjoy this home delivery service it is worth the effort. For 12 years we have enjoyed many of the delivery people in a multitude of housing locations throughout Merida. Enjoy.

Loved it here - authentic Yucatan food, the waiters really try to win you, the juices are delicious and the prices are fantastic. Much better food than some of the up-scaled restaurants that are close to pretentious rather than being authentic.

We arrived to merida and went there 1st day. BIG mistake. For a street market food is VERY EXPENSIVE!!! And barely decent. When u arrive you have all these guys hustling you to seat in their section/food court. For 2 aguas frescas and 2 meals we paid around 450 pesos! In our last day we went to La Chaya Maya, a few blocks from the market. La Chaya is a tipical yucateca food situated in an old hacienda downtown with the best...literally beat local food in merida, amazing service and well served portions (lots of cochinita in each taco) and girls what? Half (yes, 1/2) the price. Avoid the market, GO to la Chaya Maya if you want the best food, place, service and overall experience!

It is place, where you can get souvenirs and give a chance to loc gastronomy. You can find “panuchos”, “tamales”, “salbutes” and more delicatessens. Mérida is well known, actually the entire state of Yucatán, for its “Cochinita Pibil”, where this dish saw the light for first time, many years ago. Enjoy this must, eat and walk in to the shops.

Great restaurant in a great spot. Our mesero, Cesar, was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. Food was good and the craft beer selection too.

Great shopping experience. I really enjoyed the discounted prices within one of the main stores. Great parking even on a very busy Saturday. I am looking forward to visiting again in the near future.

Beautiful mall with lots of shopping options. We specifically went to Sears and Sorianna’s to find what we needed, but ear marked a few stores for future visits. There’s plenty of places to eat as well and lots of vendors. I’m looking forward to future visits.

Went to each mall in Mérida today and this by far was one of the best. My daughter loved the go carts.

Great Big Mall. With food court, arcade Pool hall, well priced hair salon on the second floor. Recommend the good value restaurant across from Chilli's (which is pricey) Sears is a good place to find larger size shirts pants, etc Outside the lower exit to Sears is a good place to buy mobile phones. Very helpful staff. There is an IHOP and Changs in the mall.

Our favorite mall in Merida. There are lots of things to do and lots of stores. There is a great food court and a theater and bowling alley. The only other mall we liked was the one that had an ice rink inside.

Good selection of stores. Easy to get in and out of.

Pretty good mall in the Altabrisa area . With a balanced selection of of shops and activities for all

Cool art gallery. Such creativity from sculptures to wall art. I regret not purchasing a piece.

Full of colour and vibrancy with glorious modern art paintings, sculptures and metalwork . Stopped by on our walk past the Soho Gallery and it became the highlight of our day . It’s small, air-conditioned, super-friendly and it’s free . Lots of coffee shops and other galleries nearby . Marvellous !

Worth checking out. Great local artists. Nice collection.

Cute gallery filled with paintings, and art , and sculptures. A great place to escape from the heat and see what local artists are making.

Nice gallery, has a wide variety of art.

For the best selection of contemporary art from Mexico and Cuba this is the place. Lots of events and well done.

Very evolved and remarkable gallery. Really friendly owner. It's almost a mini modern art museum. Near some other galleries, so this is a good place to start your day walking in a great neighborhood. Mi hijo used the restroom and said it was clean.

For me, the best flat white and the best cortado in town! Just the right flavor and an intense but not bitter or sour taste, milk alternatives are also available (oat milk). Totally recommend it! The nice add-on is the selection of board games that can be played for free while enjoying a coffee and a pastry.

One of the best cafe here. Nice location, lots of books (there are not a lot of cafes that are book themed in Merida as far as I know), reasonable price, and good jugo del dia. Def will come back

Found this cafe on Google Maps when we had to kill time before checking into a room and it couldn't have been better - delicious coffee, air conditioning, and wifi. We had a flat white and cappuccino frio and both were very good!

Love this place! Excellent coffee and very friendly staff and owners. The avocado toast is perfect. The owners let me borrow their one copy of The Catcher in the Rye for my trip to Tulum. Now we all know people never return borrowed books! Because of their kindness, I most certainly will return it at the end of the month and visit wherever I’m in Mérida!

What a gem 💎 of a place. Such nice people and staff and so inviting. The food quality is tops. The atmosphere is so relaxing and inviting. We could easily spend an afternoon just enjoying great food and books to read from their accumulated library. Our complete to this establishment as it all comes together for a wonderful and appetizing experience.😋

Fabulous oasis in centro district. They have books for sale as well as plenty of room for a meeting, coffee date, or to study/work. Their coffee is delicious and their food is fresh and yummy. Good spot for a sandwich + salad.

I have visited here on several occasions and have always enjoyed each visit. A nice, quiet and relaxed atmosphere to enjoy great breakfast items and a wide selection of hot and cold coffees, teas, etc. The amazing yogurt parfait, fresh fruit and yogurt, is my favorite along with their delicious variety of cookies. Waffles are highly enjoyable as well. Highly recommended...

Mostly crafts on sale here, prices are good and you'll find variety according to budget, but this place have another area for local food. Try the "Punto y Coma" place at the end of central corridor. This place closes earlier than others so don't came here by sunset or later.

A great experience and opportunity to mis with the local population. There are some hidden gems to find amongst the electronics, perfume and cosmetics vendors. I appreciated the blend of old and new products along with food to eat or carry home . There are lots of vendors selling fresh fruit and sweets along the streets around the market. Its not the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul, but has a similar vibe.

One of the best places to earn typical Yucatecan garments, Huraches and easily one of the top local street food places. RULES!!

Great selection of fruits, vegetables, fresh fish, beef, pork and chicken. Lots of lical food kiosks at great prices. Especiallt recommend Tony's juice bar.

A very big market, although a bit disorganized with mixed products. If you are patient you will find what you are looking for. We went on a Saturday, before noon and many, many people. I think it is a must see in Merida Food, condiments, artesans, even live animals. All the people are nice nice and will explain what they are selling. They will even give you recipies for the food or condiments they sell, if you enjoy the local food, like me.

Super local place, if you want to eat local food from mérida this is it, you will find perfect souvenirs, typically clothes and so much food.

It's a tradition, get a torta de cochinita and horchata. Nice market on Merida's downtown. If you get lucky there's live music playing around. Food and souvenir shops.

Looking to spend a few hours in an art gallery and sitting in a cafe; this is your place. So much colour and numerous artisanal items to purchase. Even household items like a coffe tray or jewelry box is handmade. I don't believe it is possible to walk out empty handed.

Beautiful and well worth checking out!! If only to take some photos and admire the artistry. Very pleasant staff and the blue iguana cafe has good coffee and smoothes.

Very small but has beautiful products. The gentleman was super friendly and helpful and very passionate about the items. He answered all of our questions and liked to tell us about the art. We asked about the washroom and he walked us to it and opened the door for us. Then we went into the room with all the handcrafted puzzles and he was very patient as we chose the items we purchased. It was a very pleasant experience. I would recommend popping in if you are in the area.

Don’t bother going anywhere else, I can’t recommend highly enough!! The most incredible, curated selection of artisan handy craft and art I’ve seen in Mexico. Beautiful jewellery of different styles from traditional to contemporary. Finely painted Alebrijes (animal carvings), intricate ceramic pieces, plus many more items. The pieces are by specific artisans (and signed) or from Mexican brands. Compared to the other artisan shops on the near streets the quality is exceptional and the prices in many cases less. I found cheap souvenir shops selling small Alebrijes for the same or up to twice the price - the quality no where near as good. The staff are lovely, Carolina helped us telling us all about the artists and the different traditional crafts. A big difference to the other shops where they pressure and harass you. 10/5 stars

Fantastic art!! One of my favorite galleries. You can find wide variety crafts from large art pieces to ceramics and jewelry. I loved the human size Día de los Muertos skulls. Absolutely magnificent pieces or art.

Probably the most beautiful cafe/art gallery I've ever visited. Everything on display is mesmerizing to the eye. The bright white walls serve as a canvas to so many beautiful pieces and everything is available for purchase. The coffee is exquisite. I came with my fiancé and we ordered two lattes. It was definitely the best I'd ever had, and I've had many lattes in my life 😊. If I'm ever in Merida I will definitely have coffee here a few times. If you're ever in Merida, you have to go, sit and have a cup of coffee. I could sit there for hours. Also the service was excellent and they are very, very nice people taking care of the place.

This is a really upscale art gallery with a wonderful coffee shop all in an open-air patio setting. Art work we can't afford but can enjoy as we drink good coffee and delicious frappes. Really, the best frappes around, and they have coconut milk The coffee folks are very nice with excellent service.

Well designed and fancy place. A quiet and peaceful atmosphere to enjoy the weekend brunch.

Nice plaza with a small restaurant (tasty menu), an art gallery, and a fashion store (accessories, shoes, and clothing). Overall, a nice, modern place to visit.

Gorgeous art center with excellent lunch and superb boutique however staff at resto a bit cold.

One of the most gorgeous spaces in town. Contains multiple art galleries, a restaurant with a delicious menu, a coffee shop, and a retail space. The staff is super friendly and I love the music they play!

Stylish place but you’ll likely have to wait for a table. I was in a rush so can’t comment on food quality but heard good things

Great place to work remote, they have a good selection of non-dairy milks for coffee and good snacks

Great coffee, cute space, yummy good. The staff was super sweet.

One of our favorite malls in Merida. I am obsessed with Caruso and they have two! Also the C&A is great upstairs. We haven’t had any of the food here but seems to be quite a few options. Also it’s very close to Boston’s Pizza so we just walk there when we visit this mall. Other great features are a full restaurant on the first floor, Soriana, Sears!

It is a big shopping mall in Mérida. We went here to have dinner. We found it difficult to find the entrance for the parking. So, we parked our car a bit far from the mall. It has many stores and service businesses. Entrance accessible for wheelchairs. Free wifi inside the mall but it was slow. In some parts, it looks like the mall is empty. It has a food court on the top floor.

Nice shopping center, plenty of variety food at LaCasa De Los Abuelos. For lunch totally awesome food really great value.

This has got to be the weirdest mall in all of Merida. I have been here a number of times over the years and I still get lost. It is very weirdly organized and has the most random stores!

Nice little mall that has some great anchor stores... The Sears store was a special treat for me. It takes me back 50 years to when I was a kid with my father. Clean and not very busy. Lots of underground parking. Movie theater was not busy at all.

It alright. Good food court, good selection of shops although all feel a little bit cheaper both in fit out and quality of stock. One little diamond in the rough was a women’s clothes shop called STOP. The printed map at the entrance is also out of focus and blurred

Easy parking has a Sears, Coppell, and various shops and services, Telcel, CFE and some banks etc.

The world's only Costco with a Cenote. They have freshly made donuts, Mexican ready to eat food and they sell motorcycles, but apart from everyone speaking Spanish it is indistinguishable from every other Costco in North America. Every Costco should be forced to have a local products aisle.

It is like a Costco in the States, items come and go, items get moved around, many items you have to buy in two or large quantities. You have to shop around as items often are expensive or more expensive than other stores especially electronics, computers, printers etc. I like shopping for certain favorites and the Ruta Maya Cafe Organico is the best tasting medium roast in the whole bean that I have found in Merida. I tried a lot of local roasters too!

Getting expensive and often crowded, but a great place to buy many popular items all in the same place. Parking is sometimes crazy with people parking in areas they shouldn't just to be closer to the entrance. I think the city could support a second location.

Had an eye exam & new glasses made at Costco. The prescription is perfect, and the no line bifocales are fantastic. My Spanish isn't great, but I was able to make it through the exam only using my translator app for a few really tricky questions. The quality of the frames with anti-glare and anti-scratch lenses at this price! It was a pleasant shock! Dr. Jesus - Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking the time to make sure my prescription is perfect!

The service in the store is excelent. But the service in the tire center is horrible 3 tire technician make one I'll make it faster with just basic tools.. they just need that little push up to be more efficient and dont make clients wait more then what they said... They told 2 hours 15 min I ended waiting close to 4 hours.. almost 4 Hours for just one tire replaced and do a rotation and the other three.. 3 guys working in a single car..😆

Like many other costcos. Good selection, stock is what was expected. Sell out of some items so if you find something you like DONT WAIT!

Just like in the USA, great place to stock up on items you can find at home including gallons of cold milk

The worst customer service we have ever received. Very rude. They would rather send you away than help.

Nice store with large choice of furnitures and appliances. Some good discounts But prices remain still very high

Ordered in store merchandise for next day delivery. Liverpool delivered it to the wrong home. When I asked for a refund, I was told the delivery was in the warehouse. I waited another two weeks. When I contacted the manager about the issue he said the delivery was on the way. Still waiting; poor service, lots of excuses and very disrespectful. Never again! The same or better quality merchandise can be purchased elsewhere.

Typical US style department store, lots of items mostly overpriced but sometimes has good clearance and sale items.

It's a beautiful department store, with a lot of brand choices. It's great to decorate your home and office. Something for all your family and friends.

We love this store. Huge. Great staff. Beautiful.

Great staff, great selection of products.

This is a beloved community shopping center. The parking is ample and the drivers who go there are respectful. It is generally clean in spite of having Bodega Aurrera as the anchor. Bodega is a downmarket concept and usually problems with sanitation in the parking lot. That was not the case here.

Always so busy not parking lots

Very crowded plaza. You can find many things (like Aurrerá, which is the cheapest super market of the city). There's a lot of local people doing their walks with their family

Easy access, only issue is when there is a baseball game excessive traffic. Stadium is pretty much across the avenue in front of shopping center

Not a big variety of stores and restaurants, but what you see there is a great selection of them that have good quality products at very affordable prices. The biggest store is Bodega Aurrerá, a middle-class supermarket with a nice variety of Walmart and Sam's Club products.

One of the restaurants has loud music outside which makes it impossible to speak. Moviestar excellent service

it's a good place, but with covid as everything else is really abandoned

The Harbor offers a spacious and airy environment, with wide corridors, high ceilings, and plenty of natural light. The design encourages leisurely strolls, making it not just a place for shopping but also for socializing. The inclusion of outdoor dining areas near the lake, along with terraces for relaxation, amplifies the sense of space. The mall's structure is intended to be more than just retail; it's a lifestyle center where one can spend an entire day enjoying various activities. In essence, The Harbor in Mérida combines the allure of major anchor tenants like Gran Chapur and Cinépolis with a selection of popular dining options, all set within an architecturally thoughtful space that celebrates both modernity and local culture. This makes it a significant destination for both residents of Mérida and visitors looking for a comprehensive shopping and leisure experience.

Really attractive shopping mall with good air con making it an ideal escape from the hot weather. There are quite a lot of empty shops, but there are some interesting ones. Lots of lovely figures scattered around the place. The outside area by the water is also very attractive. Nice place for a coffee or meal. Love the thought that has gone into the place providing a clean up station for visitors to clear up from “accidents” and also the recycling box for batteries. The toilets are also modern and clean.

Beautiful work perfectly done by ThorUrbana, there's still a small percentage of the shops to open but it is already a nice place to hang, chill and buy. Great design and great location! Would visit again no doubt.

Beautiful mall. Lots of good stores. Amazing art displayed work. The ice rink inside the mall is everything! Food is good. You could literally be there for hours

Excellent new mall with great food options and a very nice starbucks right in front of the outdoor fountains. This place has great attention to details. Very nice place. Free parking.

I love this mall...it has all the shops that the other malls have in Merida, but I just love the decor and the outside space that they have...it's also dog friendly...like Bloor street is back in Toronto Canada

What a shame this mall was deserted. Only a handful of stores are open and the mall smells like a dog pound. I watched a customer let his dog take dump on the floor and not pick it up. Do not let YouTube videos and other pictures online deceive you.

As the oldest shopping center in Mérida, it has everything you may need at reasonable prices. Many State dependencies.

Plaza oriente has not changed at all or barely since at least 20 years. Supermarket inside, place to eat outside and inside of this plaza from pizza and tacos to cakes and sweets. You can as well buy pets and electronics.

The mall has CFE, JAPAY and CITY SERVICES. Plus a variety of shops and banks along with a small food court.the Soriana grocery store is well stocked. This mall has returned .

Pretty clean and nice place, helpful staff, great variety of stores and banks.. Really mellow place..

It's a good place cleaned and there employee are friendly thank's

This mall haven't changed in years, you gotta find all you need here.

Much to see and do here 2 thumbs up.

Clean store with everything you could need for a diy project. Flooring was well merchandized I liked the tiling display. Lots of staff but no one offered to help us. .

Helpful staff, very clean store, had what we were looking for.

Good selection that is well marked and the prices are shown. The store is clean and parking lot is very convenient.

Lots of parking, easy to find what you need and fast checkout.

I put an order in for fencing 6 weeks ago. It was 14k pesos. They said it would be delivered within 4-5 days. We call and they say they are missing parts. Other times they never answer. I came in Monday and the manager got on the phone and said the order would be delivered today. It’s now Wednesday I’m making another trip to cancel. What a waste of time and money and they could care less. And I need to wait for my credit card refund. Home despot🤮🤮🤮

I like the selection they have. But seriously, in 80% of the cases where i bought something. The item was either damaged or did not work at all. The workers there don't really care as it seems.

We wanted more options for gardening and potting would, but they do have organic soil so that is an plus. Very clean store, we are happy HD has a location here!

Wonderful little market with lots of things for the home. There are a few small restaurants and plenty of fresh fruit, meat and flowers.

We love this area of Merida and the place we ate really surprised us we found this place at the market of Miguel Aleman . The food was delicious.... We really loved it my husband had a sandwich with coconut shrimps ...we are already thinking of going back 😊

Very down to earth proprietor. Good selection of authentic foods at reasonable prices.

This is a smaller market, in the neighborhood. Quality was Okay, Price moderate. You can find most of what you need. Service was good. Parking was okay.

Perfect place to buy the mixed spices typically use to cook Yucatan Food, like Cichinta Pibil, papadzules etc. Look Diego's stand.

Love this market place. Very small, quaint and there are other store across the street. You don’t have to go to the big market place down town Mérida.

The market is pretty small but you find a lot of produce, meat,fish and household items. There are restaurants here as well.

Poor quality food and hygiene.

Not much market but wholesome fast Mexican foods. Good liquado.

Decent placed to eat. But not many vendors selling inside.

A must go place. Breakfasts are so good here.

Best menudo I ever had

My go to for the best Tortas

Great food here!

Very small food market with food vendors, all highly rated. Great place to come for your fresh meat, cheese, veg, tortillas. Still authentic, still local. 10/10 will come again.

Found this little Mercado and had to stop because the food smelled delicious. I have specifically been trying to find a place to have a tamal since I have never tried one. Finally I found La Poderosa, a stall on the North side of the Mercado near the street. Had a wonderful Tamal con Pollo! Very pleasant staff and my tamal was less than 30 pesos! Food at all of the stalls looked delicious!

Cute & small market! Lots of fresh fruit and veggies. Local food vendors making delicious meals! You have to eat at Lupitas — hands down the best inside. The photos don’t do it justice

Good place in the center for some fresh food. And after shopping you can eat some tacos there. Really good.

It's a small market with a small selection of meat. However, we went to get Pollo pechugas which were very good value. Then onto the produce section where they seem to have most things. There's lots of people eating but no crowds, unlike the municiple market.

The food vendors are great and helpfull as well as the fresh tortillas. However maybe because I am treated as a tourist the produce is overpriced. I purchased 2 times to be sure but the price was double what the supermarket charges 1 min walk away. Though I am in favor of small vendors I will not shop there again as they do not deserve my pesos

Smells bad , they sell raw chicken and eggs

I had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel in Mérida! From the moment I arrived, I could tell that this place is exceptionally well-managed, likely family-owned, and run with genuine care. The entire property was spotless, and the attention to detail in both cleanliness and hospitality was remarkable. Maria and Augustin, along with the rest of the staff, were incredibly warm and welcoming. They not only made me feel at home but also went out of their way to provide great recommendations on what to see and do in the city. Thanks to them, I was able to explore some hidden gems and truly experience the best of Mérida. The rooms had so many personal touches that made my stay even more special—far beyond what you’d expect from a standard hotel. It felt like every detail was thoughtfully curated to ensure comfort and charm. If you’re looking for a place that combines exceptional hospitality, cleanliness, and a welcoming atmosphere, this is the perfect spot. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mérida!

Great place to stay for a few days in Merida. Rooms, cozy, very clean, good airconditioning + a ceiling fan, beds are comfortable. Has everything you need for a short stay. Owner and staff are very welcoming, we got great recommendations on places to see, eat, drink and advice on how to get to them. Made our stay very relaxing and enjoyable Would happily stay here again and recommend other do too.

We loved our stay here! Leo was so welcoming and will not let you want for anything. He messaged us information and tips prior to arrival and couldn't do more for us during our stay. Cold bottles a water from the super friendly security guy each night you return plus coffee, juice and a pastry every morning even though breakfast is 'not included'. A cafe/bar in its own right we enjoyed a cold beer here before going out for dinner as the interior is decorated in a beautifully quirky way and nicely lit. We were in room 6 (yellow skull) which had a gorgeous view of the square, comfy bed, practical layout, excellent fan and aircon etc. Hotel La Piazzetta is run with genuine care and excellent attention to detail - we felt really at home. The location is perfect and we walked everywhere.

Everything was great here, for my 3 night stay. The location is perfect, very quiet spot right on Mejorada park away from the busy plaza grande but still close enough to walk everywhere. The owner is very attentive and welcoming, gives you lots of recommendations etc. Service was just amazing and the rooms are elegantly decorated with great showers, comfy beds etc. I highly recommend!

really enjoyed my time at Hotel La Piazzeta. The location is super convenient and close to everything, which made getting around really easy. The place has nice rooms and the stuff it’s incredible nice overall great experience and would come back here anytime. Recommended

had a very great time in the hotel and service provided had the best time here went by super fast but only because i had such an amazing time in this hotel. Throwing a little get together, hanging out with all my friends in best city Merida and had an amazing place to bring friends and family over. Absolutely had a blast here i really recommend if your like adventures and different styles i really suggest La piazzeta BEST HOTEL IN MERIDAAA:)

Great stay, great recommendations, the room was very nice and perfect location for exploring Merida, thanks!

Nice atmosphere and friendly service. The pastries were average. Maybe it would have been better if it was more fresh.

Food great, atmosphere great, and bought 2 loaves of fantastic foccacia bread. Foccacia is not easy to find in Merida! So this is your place!

The breakfast / coffee shop you want. It has it all: excellent service, cute relaxed environment, internet, super delicious traditional and modern dishes, bread and cookies, and of course good coffee. I loved it so much I went twice.

Amazing food, friendly service and relaxing atmosphere! We had breakfast here many times during our stay in Merida, and it was always perfect. Their omelette is excellent.

Besides the beautiful atmosphere, they have delicious pastries and perfect coffee (I had a latte and cinnamon roll). All food that I saw being served looked delicious and was recommended by a local. The staff was superfriendly, they immediately made me feel very welcome and comfortable. They also have good Wifi, a sign with the password is right behind the counter. Everything is very neat and clean, also the bathroom.

The best dirty chai latte I have ever had! Swaggy space, friendly service. Gorgeous neighborhood.

Delicious croissants!! Pictured almond and chocolate. Fruit bowl with yogurt, granola and honey also a delicious option. Lots of drink choices. Lovely front porch and friendly staff.

Very nice shop with a great selection of local artisans work, and lovely staff! It’s very fairly priced, and we found a very nice selection of traditional clothes both for us and for gifts. Would highly recommend it!

I've heard great things about this place and have now tried to go 3 times when Google Maps says it's open, but we finally found the security guard who said it's closed for 3 weeks. Don't make the trip unless you know for sure it's open!

Excellent selection, finest quality collectibles in the area.

So nice to find gifts from local artists. I also find the best price for pure vanilla there. Tons of items to peruse.

Great place for actual Artisanal items that supports the local artisan's. Also, not haggling needed and the atmosphere is miles better that the street vendors

Best place to buy handmade goods at a great price

Mostly basic packaged goods or simple crafts you can get wherever. Nothing particularly artisan.

This store is good but they are often under-stocked on refrigerator/freezer basics like tofu and tempeh. They carry no produce either but a pretty good assortment of healthy dry goods. Very friendly service.

Great vegan bakes and treats available. Vegan snickers, Kit Kats, cakes and cookies! Epic. Also the freshly made food is wonderful too, delicious sandwiches! Great smoothies and juices too. Really attentive and friendly staff! Highly recommend!

Great products! Clean, natural & ecological! But, very expensive as they are mostly imported. Still grateful to find particular things that are obscure & difficult to find. 🙏🏽

Love this place. Great selection of health foods; gluten free & grain free cooking supplies, natural supplements and body products, nuts, healthy oils, tea/coffee and snacks. Try the chocolatey vegan cupcakes; so decadent. Also, I love the cafe in back; the smoothies are amazing!

Love this place! It has my favorite vegan products from the US and lots of new ones to try too (definitely check out the Blue Deer frozen mock meats). The eggs are from a free range farm nearby (you can see videos of their hens on Instagram) and there’s fresh produce as well.

Delicious fresa platano smoothie. Lovely environment.

Great variety of products, although expensive. The smoothies are very fresh and tasty, and their sandwiches are simple but well-done. I highly recommend their matcha sauce.

Absolutely Outstanding Experience! My stay at this hotel was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I arrived, every detail exceeded my expectations. The breakfast was a real highlight—delicious, varied, and beautifully presented each morning. The rooms were incredibly stylish, spotless, and offered a peaceful retreat after a busy day. I was especially impressed by the quiet atmosphere and the thoughtful design touches throughout. The staff truly made my stay unforgettable. They were unfailingly friendly and genuinely attentive, always ready with a great recommendation yet never intrusive. Upon my arrival, they had already made a dinner reservation for me at a wonderful local restaurant (with no obligation, of course), which was a delightful surprise and made me feel truly welcome. All in all, I cannot recommend this hotel highly enough. Every aspect was simply outstanding!

You have to stay at this hotel. You will not regret it. My amazing experience began even before I arrived. Sara, the owner, reached out to me personally to offer special options for my stay. When I got there, her staff greeted me with a warm welcome, a tour, and a drink and snacks—the perfect start after a long flight. The hotel itself is marvelous. The design is thoughtful, and the spacious, comfortable rooms feel luxurious and peaceful. Fresh flowers and plants add a beautiful touch. The hospitality is truly phenomenal. The staff is top-notch and their kindness shows in every detail, from the kind notes and cookies left in my room to the daily cleaning. They even gave great recommendations for places to see and eat. The breakfast is also fantastic; you can tell the chefs are passionate about what they do. They truly go above and beyond. I mentioned I was celebrating my birthday, and they surprised me with decorations in my room. This hotel takes the time to get to know you. This is the best hotel I have ever stayed at, and I can't recommend it enough.

I’m not entirely sure how hotel star ratings are determined, but if ever a place deserved five stars, it’s The Diplomat Hotel. From the moment I arrived, I felt comforted. That may not be the word most would choose, but for me, it's everything—especially when landing somewhere new. I had a very rough flight into Mérida, one that left me quite ill, and I’ve been carrying the weight of some deeply stressful personal circumstances. So to find myself in a space so serene, so welcoming, so impeccably maintained—it felt like a gift. Every element of The Diplomat feels intentional. You can sense the love and thought behind it all. There’s a story behind each piece of furniture, every fixture, and the small daily rituals that make the experience feel quietly luxurious. And the soul of the space is its people. The staff are not only gracious, they are deeply thoughtful—and that spirit begins with Sara, the owner, whose presence is as integral as any design choice. She sets the tone, and it ripples through the entire experience. I spent two days of my stay recovering from that difficult arrival, and they cared for me in a way that went far beyond hospitality—checking in often, bringing ginger tea, offering ice packs, and making sure I felt safe. It wasn’t just service. It was care, offered with heart. I couldn’t recommend The Diplomat more, and I’m already looking forward to the day I am able to return.

A Magical Honeymoon at The Diplomat Boutique Hotel!! My husband and I finally took our long-overdue honeymoon to Mérida, Mexico this past January (2025), and we had the absolute pleasure of staying at The Diplomat Boutique Hotel. I think it's taken me this long to write this review because I’ve missed it so much — I cried the day we left. The hotel itself is clean, beautifully designed, and perfect in every way. It feels like a true oasis. Neil, Sara, and the rest of the staff could not have been more gracious, welcoming, and kind — they made us feel like family from the moment we arrived. As a big foodie who also eats gluten-free, I was blown away by the breakfasts — each one was fresh, flavorful, thoughtfully prepared, and tailored to my dietary needs. Truly, truly, truly top-notch. If you're looking for a magical, memorable experience in Mérida, please do yourself a favor and stay here. You will not be disappointed. We are counting the days we can go back!

A fantastic boutique hotel set in beautiful surroundings. Sara and Neil are the perfect hosts. They recommended a number of great restaurants and cantinas and helped organise our sightseeing trips with Argel, a very knowledgeable guide. All the staff were very friendly and helpful - and the breakfasts were spectacular! Muchas Gracias!

Absolutely the best hotel, minus a gym, i have ever been to. The rooms have very very high ceilings and are incredibly charming. Fresh flowers everywhere. The service was unmatched anywhere in the U.S. They were over-accomodating. The meatless breakfast was perfect. They gave me and partner (girlfriend) recommendations for restaurants, bars, and attractions. They even had daily free tequila (various types). The location is a little out of the way of the main tourist attractions, but it costs close to nothing to catch an urber. This was an incredible find. If you ever go to Merida, stay at the Diplomat!!!!!

What an amazing hotel! The staff were impeccable and friendly. They went above and beyond for our stay as well as helping us arrange an outing. There is honestly not a better place to stay in Merida!

This place is one of a kind. My husband bought a pair of shoes and we both bought some art work. Also the owners are super cool!! We learned a lot about the history of luche libre. Totally worth the visit.

Buy shoes. Help locals get a start in life. Support a good cause. Super comfy shoes. All those things are reason enough to dress up your feet…but if that’s not enough then well the price is the best you will find anywhere for handmade custom built shoes. Sure, they might not last 3 years but custom made shoes for $20?? Skip Walmart and support a local. Bought myself some map shoes and I’m going to make tracks across the city. Oh and great service that came with a lovable store mascot too.

Very comfortable shoes made in the Maya way. Very reasonable. And really fun designs.

Those two former industrial design students are selling shoes similar to Hawaianas which are handmade by indigenous Mayan community. The designs are a demonstration of their magnificent creativity. Additionally they give great advice and are also willing to tell you you the best places for design, fashion, drinks and restaurant in the city. We tried it out and those advices were completely correct. Great time there!

My mom and I had a great time visiting Tags and speaking with Mauricio (he also has excellent restaurant recommendations!) . Their shoes are comfortable, beautifully designed and priced fairly - we ended up ordering several pairs each. I’d highly recommend paying them a visit as soon as you arrive in Merida so you can wear your news shoes around town!

This was probably one of my favourite experiences in Merida speaking with Mauricio about his business and the shoes was only the beginning. We had such a rich conversation about the history of Mexico, the ethnic and economic challenges that support the WHY behind his business model.

Bought a hip pair of shoes from Mauricio from a friend's recommendation. I wish they had more selections on hand but they keep selling out. If you want to secure a pair of a specific design, I recommend you go in to pre-order them and wait for the store to receive them later in the month. Luckily, they had one pair in my size that I actually liked. Next time I'm in Merida, I'll be sure to come back earlier to pick up more pairs for me and as gifts. :)

Good choice of cheeses. Oaxaca was great

(Translated by Google) Second bad experience in those stores. The first time they sold me a cheese that was not fresh: it was already bitter and had a bad taste (they sell them in closed and handcrafted packages, without information on the production date or best before date, so you cannot know the freshness of the product until you open it). This time I wanted to buy another cheese, but the saleswoman reluctantly told me that she could only sell quesillo, even though there were more products on the counter. Then I realized why he was reluctant to attend: the hours that appear on maps are wrong, it says they close at 3 pm, but at 1 pm they were already closing. (Original) Segunda mala experiencia en esas tiendas. La primera vez me vendieron un quesillo que no estaba fresco: ya estaba amargo y tenía mal sabor (los venden en paquetes cerrados y armados artesanalmente, sin información de fecha de producción ni fecha de consumo preferente, entonces no puedes saber la frescura del producto hasta que lo abres). Esta vez quise comprar otro queso, pero la vendedora me dijo, de mala gana, que solo podía vender quesillo, aunque había más productos en el mostrador. Después me di cuenta por qué pudo atender de mala gana: el horario que aparece en maps está mal, dice que cierra a las 3 pm, pero a la 1 pm ya estaban cerrando.

(Translated by Google) Excellent variety of cheeses. Especially the quesillo, the double cream and the cheese with chili. The prices are still standard, neither expensive nor cheap. (Original) Excelente variedad de quesos. Sobre todo el quesillo,el doble crema y el queso con chile. Los precios igual están en el standar, ni caro ni barato.

(Translated by Google) A few years ago I bought Oaxaca cheese, quesillo or string cheese and it was very good. Yesterday I bought the same cheese and this time it was very, very dry, with a plastic texture like those in the supermarket and very salty. I think it was not fresh at all, because even the taste was medium rare and the price was very expensive compared to quality and price. (Original) Hace unos años compré queso Oaxaca, quesillo o de hebra y estaba muy bueno. Antier compré el mismo queso y esta vez estuvo muy, muy seco, con textura plasticosa como los del súper mercado y muy salado. Creo que no estaba nada fresco, porque hasta el sabor medio raro y el precio muy caro comparando calidad precio.

(Translated by Google) I like the quality of the products they sell. I always buy panela cheese and cream cheese. These varieties can be found in the supermarket in recognized brands, but the prices are very high in my opinion. Here I find very good quality and the prices seem appropriate to me. Note: They do not come in sealed packages. They come in measured portions and in closed but not sealed bags. Their distinctive feature is that they are artisanal products. I have always favored local or artisanal products, but you have to be aware that they are not packaged. (Original) Me gusta la calidad de los productos que venden. Yo siempre compro queso panela y queso crema. Estas variedades se pueden encontrar en el súper en marcas reconocidas, pero los precios son muy altos a mi parecer. Aquí encuentro una calidad muy buena y los precios me parecen adecuados. Ojo: No vienen en paquetes sellados. Vienen en porciones medidas y en bolsas cerradas pero no selladas. Su distintivo es que son productos artesanales. Siempre he favorecido lo local o artesanal, pero hay que estar concientes que no son empaquetados.

(Translated by Google) They are very delicious cheeses and the prices are acceptable. Only to personal taste, I would lower the salt in the cheeses. And the champurrado is delicious, but I don't feel like it has much flavor. The attention is excellent. (Original) Son quesos muy ricos y los precios son aceptables. Solo que a gusto personal, le bajaría la sal a los quesos. Y el champurrado esta rico, pero no siento que tenga mucho sabor. La atención es excelente.

(Translated by Google) Everything is delicious, 100% Pijijiapan products. (Original) Riquísimo todo, 100% productos de pijijiapan

Lovely bookstore in an amazing area in Merida :) definitely a must to visit this cute little gem.

Lovely staff and a nice selection of some real classics and newer rising authors. All books are in English, which is perfect for travellers from abroad. Accept both cash and credit cards. Don't forget to bring your old books to donate (they happily take in books to find new owners) if you don't want to carry them during your travels.

More than a book store for sure! Hand made crafted items. Owner operated, and of course that’s important to me. Found a new author I’m going to look into. Bought a small hand painted sketchbook for my trip. And the most adorable cat tarot deck. Tourist friendly, fluent English, knowledgeable.

A beautiful bookstore with high-quality selection of items. Juanita was very friendly to me and my friends. She gave us recommendations and general pointers to life in Mexico/Merida. I bought a bunch of beautiful postcards here as well as a new novel from a famous Mexican author. Will be back here again :)

Fantastic little shop, owned and run by a lovely, helpful woman - could have hung around all day & chatted. Be sure to stop by, sells all manner of stationary & cards in addition to books. More expensive than new books in England, but she explains the multiple import & delivery fees she’s saddled with as a small business owner. Fully recommend stopping in!

This store is not just a store, its a statement. Aside from a cozy and tastefully designed interior with plenty of books and items to browse through, it is imbued by its owners inspirational personality and her courage to follow her dreams. In a time of big box-stores and digital media, this store sets an impulse in reminding us of what communities are (or used to be) made of. It is the perfect fit for this city and well worth visiting to maybe acquire something to read that will remind you how turning from page to page feels like. ......mind you I had to purchase the glasses first to be able to read that page, yes you can do that here too.

Great English bookstore in Merida. I had a very interesting, informative, and delightful conversation with the owner, Juanita. She recommended a great book on the challenges that a free press faces in MX "Surviving Mexico", and it is outstanding.

(Translated by Google) Ulysses has made a charming and varied project. A place with real craftsmanship run by lovely people. Their courses, although I have only been able to take one, are very good and enjoyable. Great project done by great people. (Original) Ulises ha hecho un proyecto encantador y variado. Un lugar con verdaderas artesanías atendido por gente encantadora. Sus cursos, aunque solo he podido tomar uno, son muy buenos y amenos. Gran proyecto hecho por grandes personas.

(Translated by Google) I visited Casa Bonita in the white night and I really loved the place. The attention from the owner is incredible. He strives to explain in detail each piece that is in his gallery. The prices are super good. I highly recommend it. (Original) Conocí Casa Bonita en la noche blanca y la verdad me encantó el lugar. La atención por parte del dueño es increíble . Se esmera en explicarte a detalle cada pieza que está en su galería. Los precios están súper bien. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

(Translated by Google) Excellent place to find that detail you are looking for to give a unique and special gift. It has artisan products at affordable prices. You can pay with credit card. I recommend asking about the monthly interest-free promotions they offer during the month of June. You can also have a coffee accompanied by the options from the "Chukwa y Canela" bakery. Delicious lemon cake and chocolate muffins. Additionally, customer service is expected and very friendly. (Original) Excelente lugar para encontrar ese detalle que estás buscando para dar un regalo único y especial. Tiene productos artesanales a precios accesibles. Puedes pagar con tarjeta de crédito. Recomiendo preguntar por las promociones a meses sin intereses que ofrecen durante el mes de junio. También puedes tomar un café acompañado de las opciones de la panadería "Chukwa y Canela". Deliciosos el panqué de limón y los muffins de chocolate. Además, la atención al cliente es esperada y muy amable.

(Translated by Google) I loved it; they sell products of Mexican talent and high quality from liquors, soaps, deodorants, bar soaps, jewelry packages and clothing. I highly recommend them. (Original) Me encantó venden productos de talento mexicano y de alta calidad desde licores, jabones, desodorantes , jabones en barra , bultos bisutería y ropa se los recomiendo mucho

Clothing, watercolors, fabrics, cosmetic products, cookies, honey, bags and accessories are part of the extensive range of items and products that you will find in this magical little store. From the moment you enter you perceive a delicious aroma that invades the store and makes your stay more pleasant. Excellent service and location.

A most wonderful shop filled with curiosities. I highly recommend Leticia's unique space, there are very few places in Merida to compare, even the world?

Love antique stores, and this one doesn’t disappoint. Not very large but stuffed full of stuff. And a very nice lady.

For the antiquers out there, this place will make your mouth water. There's a little bit of everything in here to see.

It’s the most lovely antique shop you can stumble upon in the town of Merida. The owner runs her business together with her son and they’ve been collecting their finds from across the county for 16 years. Take a look, wander around and have a chat, it’s worth your time (and money).

Not a goof experience. Upon visiting, the dog at the store tried to bite me. I still bought a fan and a ring. 3 days later, the ring is discoloured - it was actually copper and painted over. The fan has also started to break.

GREAT local antique store. We visited both when we were here three years ago and again on this trip. Antiques you just will not see in the US and the dog is very cool - but will steal your snacks if you are not watching!

Not only does this store have amazing high character merchandise, the owner is amazing in her energy and very helpful. I spent 600 usd total and walked out with many fantastic items. The most authentic antique store I have encountered!

The boutique is cute and products are good quality but the cashier was rude, we greeted her and she didn’t seem to care for us. We just didn’t feel welcomed. We visited Monday 8th, late afternoon.

we walked into the store and had to get out within a few seconds. the smell of urine was overwhelming. never experienced this stench at a seemingly high class boutique store in my life!

Great store with amazing collection of crafty but very fashionable items. Ladies only, but comfy chairs available 🙂

Love the beautiful dog collars and gifts. Beautifully curated gifts.

cool clothes and shoes. Staff is not friendly- still worth a visit

Excellent service and good products.

(Translated by Google) I liked this store, everything is very well designed, organized, and detailed. All the garments are of very good quality, the designs are super fashionable and the colors go hand in hand with Mexico. Very good service and we will buy again, I recommend it one hundred percent (Original) Me gustó esta tienda, todo está muy bien diseñado, organizado, y detallado. Todas las prendas se ve que son de muy buena calidad, los diseños super a la moda y colores q van de la mano de México. La atención muy buena y volveremos a comprar, la recomiendo cien por ciento

A large warehouse filled with vintage antique furniture. If you are looking for unique and distinctive furniture in Mérida, I highly recommend this place. It has the feel of an art museum, so it's a great place to go for a look.

Buyers beware. My expectation when buying used furniture at flea market prices is very low. My expectation at buying used furniture priced as antiques like they are at this store is as follows: They will follow through with the item I purchased in the same condition that I viewed it, they will run a cloth over it to remove the dust and spiders, and they will work with me if anything goes wrong. None of that happened. Granted, the store has nice things, and they are well displayed. But their approach to selling is just bad. We bought an eight seat antique dining room table for $8800 Mx pesos and paid another $1200 Mx pesos for delivery. In the showroom the table was displayed with a flower arrangement on top and chairs around it. There was no obvious damage other than scratches and because the table was displayed with a glass top covering the wood top, we could not easily flip it over to examine it. We trusted that it was a functional table. We even told the salesman that because we were using it for airbnb, we needed something sturdy. The table arrived with one set of legs completely detached and no screws. The detached legs had been glued in place but had broken away, cracking the old wood where the glue held. The other set of legs which clearly had been held in place with screws for the life of the table was now glued with no screws. There were sixteen empty screw holes where the table should have been secured to the legs. We called the store and asked them to come attach the legs and they said they would do it only if we paid an extra fee. They never said what the fee was. We asked if we could pick up the screws and they said yes. When we arrived they offered us two sets of eight screws of different sizes. These were not the original screws but someone’s guess as to what might work. None of the screws were the right size. They were all way too large. We ended up buying 16 screws, reattaching the legs, wiping down the accumulated grime and spider webs and basically getting it into functioning condition ourselves. This is not a busy store. This could have easily been handled before delivery but they let us know after we bought the table that our expectation of a functioning piece of furniture was not a reasonable expectation for us to have. They let us know that we are to assume when we shop there that we might have to do repairs in order to use the furniture. And not only will they not reveal what they know needs to be done, they may even hide the need for repairs in the way they display their furniture. In my mind I expect that when I spend $2000 Mx pesos, not $10,000 Mx pesos including delivery. In my mind, even if it was all unknown to them, their response was sorely lacking. Not good enough. Buyers beware.

Looks way better in the pics the owner posts. Unless you are a connoisseur of good old collectibles, you are better off buying new furniture. The location is odd in what could have been an old abandoned warehouse.

Lovely service

(Translated by Google) As of now it is one of my favorite places to buy furniture. They have new, restored furniture, modern and very varied creations. There are all prices and own or on consignment. If you are looking for details to decorate a house or a room, I am sure you will find it here. In addition, the staff that works there is very friendly and answers all your questions and even offers to keep you up to date with new inventory. It is worth going for a walk and seeing so many beautiful and practical things. (Original) A partir de ahora es uno de mis lugares favoritos para comprar muebles. Tienen muebles nuevos, restaurados, creaciones modernas y muy variadas. Hay de todos los precios y propios o a consignación. Si buscas detalles para decorar una casa o alguna habitación estoy seguro que acá lo encuentras. Además el personal que trabaja ahí es muy amable y responden todas las dudas e incluso te ofrecen mantenerte al tanto de nuevo inventario. Vale la pena ir a darse una vuelta y ver tantas cosas bonitas y prácticas.

(Translated by Google) It is an incredible place to find rejected furniture in perfect condition and with a lot of history. The prices go down as they are in the store and they have restored furniture as well. (Original) Es un lugar increíble para encontrar muebles de rehuso en perfecto estado y con mucha historia.

(Translated by Google) Variety of lamps, super above what they are worth, terrible service, the person who attends looks like a watchful owl, I even felt like a thief haha ​​it's honestly not worth it. Very poor variety, and almost nothing has a price, zero reliability. (Original) Variedad de candiles, super arriba de lo que valen, pésima atención, la que atiende parece búho vigilante, hasta me sentí ladrón jaja no vale la pena honestamente. Variedad muy pobre, y casi nada tiene precio, cero confiable.
