Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico – Merida is an a beautiful, well organized, clean, and friendly city in Mexico, and the capital of the Yucatan State. We only had one full day in Merida on this trip, and so we wanted to make the most of it. I’m taking you on a one day Mexican street food and attractions tour of Merida!

Taqueria La Lupita – In the morning we first headed to a local market to eat breakfast. Taqueria La Lupita is a very cool breakfast spot where you can eat local Mexican Yucatan food. We tried some tacos de conchinta pibil, panuchos, relleno negro, and mondongo kabi. The panuchos were the winner.
Total price – 238 MXN ($12.64) for all

Maiz, Canela y Cilantro – It’s always good to have breakfast number 2, and this wasn’t a street food spot, but a nice cafe, and great for families. The reason I wanted to come here was to try their version of Huevos Motuleños, a Mexican egg dish originating from a small town of the same name not far away. It was a stunner.
Total price – 300 MXN ($15.94) for all

Plaza Grande and Horse Ride – Moving on to some of the sightseeing and attractions in Merida, we walked around Plaza Grande and took a horse ride to see some sights around the city. It was wonderful, to enjoy Merida from a horse carriage.

Mango – 15 MXN ($0.80) – One our way to the market, we stopped for a mango. Always delicious!

Mercado Lucas de Galvez – For lunch we headed to one of the main markets in the center of Merida called Mercado Lucas de Galvez. After walking around for a while we went upstairs and found a couple friendly aunties who cooked up a storm. We tried their, mole, relleno negro again, and sopa de Lima, which was the ultimate dish of the day for me.
Total price – 300 MXN ($15.94) for all

Restaurant y Cockteleria Tikinxic II – Finally for dinner I had really wanted to try a Mayan fish dish called tikin xic before leaving the Yucatan, so we searched out a Mexican seafood restaurant to try. It was a little outside of the center of the city, but it was pretty good.
Total price – 758 MXN ($40.27) for all

This was a fantastic day of Mexican street food in Merida. Merida is one of the most pleasant cities to explore in Mexico!

  1. I love that Mexico is super diverse. The downside is that I haven't tasted many different types just what I grew up. We need more Mexican restaurants that make actual food they make in different parts of Mexico.

  2. I love my country of Mexico ?? delicious cuisine my friendly people god created a beautiful country with delicious food and a awesome culture with history for the entire world to see visit explore and enjoy people from all over the world your always welcomed in my country of Mexico ??❤️❤️❤️???

  3. BTW, addled ex-pats from the USA are trying to "save" the horses who pull the traditional "calesas." As usual, they are being foolish.

  4. I've worked and filmed in Yucatan since 1969! Yikes! Marvelous food and extra-marvelous people. The gentle, courtly Maya influence. Go!

  5. Mark you should try, the red " havaneros" specially the yellow, made me run for it. Burning in my tummy, to the next day, I was burning, from inside out.

  6. I would like to know the name of the place where you try "sopa de lima". Is the only place you didn't said the name. I know it was inside a market?
    Can someone help???

  7. It pisses me off that European colonizers & wicked politics has distorted land & history so much that Mexico isnt still apart of America. I hate the fact that our cousins (Mexicans, aka Morenos aka Moors) dont realize this is their land and our (Moors. Aka black* American) land! Viva Mexico!??
