I ate here with friends and we all became sick later that day. I could tell that my fries were…read morefried in dirty grease. I would not recommend.

This is a great locals spot, in a somewhat hidden place above the Hotel Arco. Menu consists of…read moreburgers, burritos, ribs, some Yucatecan classics, and lots of other choices. Food is very reasonably priced - Four of us came here for drinks and dinner. About a dozen drinks and 4 main course orders came to $1200 pesos (~$60 USD). Service was great too! Recommended!

I love Apoala, and not just because it's one of the first time I've eaten crickets! The food is…read moreOaxaca's rather than Yucatecan, so it's a good way to explore other Mexican cuisines in Mérida. The drinks are well-made as well. We always have a great time eating here and sitting outside to look out on the square--very romantic!

My husband and I had dinner at Apoala last night - our last dinner in Merida! We really enjoyed…read moreourselves! The menu spans Yucatecan and Oaxacan dishes - which was great since we love both! We shared: the ceviche de camarón, maíz y calabaza asada; the pesca del dia (that came with Mexican herb gnocchi and a tartar sauce); the memelitas; and a dessert (panna cotta with passionfruit sauce). We also had a few cocktails each (all of them were great). No complaints about the menu, food, or drinks! The location is wonderful! The restaurant is one of several that overlook the Parque de Santa Lucia. Great outdoor/al fresco dining. There was live music while we enjoyed our meal, and it just had a great ambiance overall! The service was also great - very friendly and helpful! Definitely a great place for dinner out in Merida! I'd be happy to repeat it!

I was recommended by the tour guide to check this place out. Since we were American he advised us…read moreto use our card too since the dollar to pesos conversion may not be to our advantage. There were a lot of foreigners (US and other countries) eating here. Tried the Yucatan cochinita pork and ordered their ceviche. The chips were baked and yummy. Their salsa looks super watery but OMG it was spicy and good. I love spicy food so I loved it. The pork came out first on top of the banana leaf. The meat was so tasty and tender. It was delicious. It comes with corn tortillas (flour is Tex Mex). I waited a few minutes and the ceviche was still not out yet. I was on a time crunch so I asked for the check and put the ceviche in a to go box. Be careful if you are in a hurry. Seems to take awhile to get the food.The ceviche was ok. I've had better in Texas :)

Horrible pizza. Mediocre drinks, but they have cold Bohemia in a bottle…read more Great outdoor space. TV is tuned to sports, mostly. Nice servers, but always trying to hustle for their friend's business ...."just one block away..." Free chips, salsa and beans. Just off the main square.

We got in here and it was busy, so we tried to have understanding for the long wait until someone…read moreasked us for our drink orders.... then once that finally happened we were almost finished with our drinks before they asked for our food orders. By this time much less busy. Our waiter has still never asked to refill my friends soda and I had to ask for my second beer. We just got appetizers so our food was meh. Nothing great. Our waiter barely acts like we are here. They are standing together socializing but still hasn't walked over to our table. I will send this review when we leave to see if he comes over at all. At this time place is next to empty ! Finally he came to the table to take away my empty beer and we asked for the check. He never asked if we wanted anything more or if they had wanted refills on their drinks. Very displease with the service. Very few tables occupied when we were getting ready to leave. So being very busy isn't a good excuse. Felt very unwelcome despite other visits were fine. Not sure we will return

Ok, I'm going to cut right to the chase here. THE GOOD:…read more - This place offers 2 types of menus...1 for the tourists (tex-mex dishes) and 1 menu catered to the Progreso locals. *my best Borat impersonation* VERY NICE! - (I wanted to eat "local style") Delicious fried flounder accompanied with a sweet slaw, limes, corn tortillas was so intense, yet euphoric. Genius! - The option of having the best seat in the house...THE BEACH! THE NOT SO GOOD - Oh boy service needs a tuneup. I had to ask for chips 4 times. During our hour lunch, I'm certain my waiter forgot about us 3 times. - I have no problems paying $9 usd for a Miami vice (1/2 pina colada, 1/2 strawberry daiquiri) but it tasted like it had the same alcohol content of a 7-11 slurpee! NONE! LADIES AND GENTS, I PAID $9 FOR JUICE.... - It would be nice if y'all could do something about the solicitors. 6 people "harassed" us during lunch in 15 minutes. Purely unacceptable. Anyways, I see lots of potential here. I'm not upset, I just want y'all to DO BETTER.
