From Chicago, first time at EB on a Sunday morning for brunch. Here are my thoughts:…read more -This place has a gourmet feel to it, in a good way. Everything is special, nothing is ordinary. -I ordered the French toast with a side of potatoes. -The French toast had granola, strawberry jam, and a sweet cinnamon cream cheese on top. The toast was delightful! The toppings were delicious and creative. -The potatoes were perfectly cooked and seasoned--scrumptious! This place is a gem. Highly recommended!!

From Chicago, first time at Marmelade today. Here are some of my thoughts:…read more -The service was first class! My waiter spoke very good English. -We sat outside on a Sunday morning, in early October, very pleasant. -Clientele are more upper class than we've seen in Merida. -They did not have vanilla for my latte, so I ordered caramel--very good! -I ordered the classic pancakes with maple syrup--quite good. -After we ordered, they came around with the pastry plate. We'll definitely get the cinnamon roll next time : ) Highly recommended!!

From Chicago, first time at SOCO today. Here are some thoughts:…read more -We came in on a Sunday mid morning for brunch. There was a steady stream of internationals for the hour we were there, must be located near a larger hotel. -We ordered a chocolate croissant for an appetizer. It was good. -I ordered the chilaquiles with green salsa and chicken. I really enjoyed the chicken, but overall not great. -My wife ordered eggs and toast, not great. And they charged us extra for butter and jelly. -She had an Americano, I ordered a latte. Both were good. They forgot to bring hers out. With all the great cafes in Merida, I cannot recommend SOCO : (

CHILA-KILLING IT - These folks freaking kill chilaquiles. We came twice, the service is fast and…read morefriendly, and the prices are supremely fair. And while small, it seats quite a few and is very well decorated inside. All my life I thought maybe you needed egg for the perfect chilaquiles but truth be told we got theirs with and without egg and the way these folks melt the cheese, it gives it this amazing texture not unlike a perfectly runny omelette. The egg is not in fact required. The flavors are rich, the chips are perfectly crunchy and crispy yet still drenched in salsa, and the meats and toppings just sing. Definitely by far the best chilaquiles we've ever had, and it's not even close. If you don't try Chilakiller's, don't bother ordering chilaquiles anywhere ever again because if you cared about chilaquiles, you'd have them here. Eat here, you won't regret it! Happy eating! -John Seeto

We had a variety of dishes which were all great but the mole was the star of the show. Beautifully done. Bonus- there's a bookstore also ran by the owners of the restaurant above the main dining room. You can't miss this place on your next visit to Merida EDIT: We loved this place so much we decided to come back again on our last night. As before, the service was amazing and I was able to pick up some great art and architecture books as well.

From Chicago, first time at Manifesto. Here are some thoughts:…read more -This place is really cool on the inside, it's like walking into a different world. -I ordered a Moka, not good. Had a thick gel on top like what happens to pudding when it's cooling. My wife had regular coffee and loved it! -We each tried a pastry. I got the apple, raisin, walnut strudel, and it was delicious! My wife ordered the croissant and enjoyed it. -Service was good. Recommended!

Looking forward to going back next time I'm in Merida. Process: You pick up a pan and use tongs to pick out your items. Take your items to counter one, where they give you a list of your items to take to counter two. At counter two, you pay for the items while counter one bags up your order. Once you pay, you go back and grab your items.
