Mérida’s Culinary Bonanza.
Mérida has a rich variety of local cuisine. Did you know that there are more than 2,000 restaurants in Mérida?! How does one choose?!? Fortunately, our tour designers have lived on calle 47 – now the heart of Mérida’s gastronomic corridor – for over 20 years. They have sampled hundreds of restaurants – and kept track! Thanks to their groundwork, Mérida Eats! can eliminate the guesswork.
Mérida Eats! tours – “Best of the Barrio”:
- take place in a particular barrio (neighborhood) of the city’s historic center

- visit three locally owned restaurants, selected for their excellent food, top-notch service, and authentic ambiance
