    Coconut shrimp with apples in a coconut
    Sharmane F.

    We've been here twice since moving to Mérida, the food is so good. The hub has gotten the same dish every time Salmon with strawberry sauce of some sort and he loves it too much to try anything else. I have had the coconut shrimp which is my favorite so far it comes in a coconut so the visuals are perfection, and I think just regular fried shrimp too. My friends had salmon and some other fish, everyone left satisfied. It'll will be the spot we take people when they come to visit us! Service is different for American tourists but it doesn't bother me. They stay away from us until you need something. They do kind of stare in your direction but you're not being interrupted often which I like. When you're ready for help just gesture to them and they'll help. I don't like seeing some of the reviews marking them down for service cause they don't deserve it, if you're a tourist just know things are different than where you come from.

    The seafood here is very good. After days of pork and maize-based fare, La Pigua's offer is a welcome and excellent break. Staff are attentive and service is fast.

    Chewy octopuss.

    Came to this place following Yelp reviews. Our hotel is two blocks away. Service is outstanding. Food is mediocre ar best. Order a Pigua cocktail (schrimp, squid, octopus) and what the brought was plate with half a bottle of kepchut and the seafood. No taste but the one out the kepchut. Because of Yelp reviews I ordered the grilled octopus... one of the worst ever. A chewy cephalopode swimming in a sea of oil. No taste at all. My partner ordered a steak. It came cold, no sides except some frIes out the freezer. McDonald's are much better. The place is crowded. Dont understand why. This place lacks a good cheff and that je ne sais quoi to be more than average. Salty as hell.

    See all

    Excellent seafood and great service. Salmon stuffed with goat cheese is the best ever. Will regress soon.
