The food was OK. I think it's more hyped up than it needs to be. The restaurant is beautiful but…read morethe food was better at the local taqueria That being said, there were many large groups so I think it's good for that. They have a very large selection of food so there's something for everyone. Prices are OK, what you'd expect for a touristy spot. Recommend having a reservation for dinner as there was a wait.

I am of somewhat mixed mind about Chaya Maya…read more On the one hand, if you are in Merida for just a few days, and you don't have the time and energy to research things, Chaya Maya is in a great location and the menu has virtually ALL of the Yucatecan dishes you may want to try. It's pretty much all here, which is a big plus. The staff is very tourist friendly, and can speak and understand English well. They even asked in advance if anyone had allergies. So, for the less adventurous, it's an 'easy' experience. We ordered a variety of dishes...Lomitos, Pipian de Pavo, Pan de Cazon and more. All tasted fine, though we've had better on our tour of the region and at lower cost. The Chaya de Pina was fantastic. I'd recommend that for your agua fresca option. Service was attentive. High marks there, and it's clear they expend a lot of effort on the front of house experience, though the tortilla maker sitting in the room making tortillas by hand felt a touch gimmicky to us. In essence, if you want an expansive menu, easy for the English-speaking tourist, this is a good place to go, or perhaps to start your journey. You might lose some authenticity and pay a bit extra as a tradeoff. Chaya Maya does execute well, even if it has a bit more of a polished, corporate feel to it.

Delicious Healthy and Vegetarian Restaurant in Merida!…read more I visited Savia Vegana for lunch one afternoon during my stay in Merida this November. I loved the unique décor inside the restaurant. They serve a different menu of the day every day with soup, entree and fresh juice included. You get to choose between a few different options for the soup, main meal and juice. I ordered the garbanzo bean soup and vegetarian lettuce tacos, along with a Jamaica drink. Everything tasted absolutely delicious and fresh. I paid a total of 75 pesos for my complete meal, which was very inexpensive and a great value for what you get! The restaurant serves vegetarian/vegan dishes made from fresh and organic ingredients and healthy twists on traditional Mexican foods. The service was excellent and my server was very friendly and helpful. The atmosphere was really chill, relaxed and peaceful, which made for a very enjoyable dining experience. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fresh and healthy meal in Merida. I cannot wait to return here next time I find myself in Merida!

Latte was tasty but needed to be hotter, and I just wasn't up for asking my server to take it back and heat it more. Overall, a fantastic dining experience at a reasonable price in my opinion.

The trade-off here is that the menu rotates and is limited to their theme of the night plus their standing menu of pastas; for us, this wasn't a concern, but picky eaters could check out their menu on Facebook or outside the courtyard. We went on Lebanese night and had a delicious babaghanoush, mushroom shawarma and mana'eesh. Note: Wear bugspray.

They came out pipping hot and were simply fantastic with my coffee. It was a great experience and when I go back it will definitely be a place a go too. The staff were all very friendly and smiling.
