You pick green or red and then what peppers you want them to use. It was absolutely delish. Especially when you put it on your homemade hot corn tortillas the chilaquiles were good, but not the best I had while I was there. I would have to say the highlight was the churros. 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. They had someone there that could speak English so that was a plus. Google translate can only do so much. Ha ha

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 had an initial offering of 3 and CA had 2. She found her two to be sufficient for a hot day lunch, washed down with Coke but I added two more to my plate. No options, except the menu also mentions Buche tacos which is pork stomach, when we ordered so we both got Crispy pork chunks and a tray of diced onion, salsas and lime wedges, which complemented the food well and added the heat I was in search of. No English spoken here but the young waiter was friendly and persevered with us. We left feeling happy! Total bill was 166 pesos (7 tacos and two cokes).
