You could readily spend several hours here, but quite crowded in some areas. I was just passing through as part of exploring Merida -- and definitely worth a visit in my opinion. Also, just a few minutes on foot from several parks/gathering places, and stores/shops and restaurants (all around).

BEST MARKET IN MERIDA - I used to wonder why some of the smaller markets in Merida were less…read morefrequented but then I found the Mercado Lucas de Galvez and the near neighbor Mercado San Benito. This one focuses heavily on produce and spices, with a smattering of other interesting things ranging from shoe repair to copying keys. It's an eclectic blend frequented almost exclusively by locals, It makes sense as it is noisy and busy and that scares a lot of tourists away. But if you want to experience a true local market, and have a couple hours to just get lost and find yourself, this is the market for you. Definitely worth a visit and if you find the place that copies keys, right near there is a stall that makes some of the freshest juice with the best fruit I've had here. And if you are feeling adventurous you can stop at one of the scores of food stalls and try your luck with the local cuisine. There are far too many to list or even hope to try so its worth its own adventue! Happy eating from John Seeto!

Matter of fact there are 18 different culinary options. PRO TIP: If you're going on the weekend, get there early to grab and chair and tabletop. The staff is super attentive and it's incredible people-watching. PRO TIP 2: There are not a lot of vegan options but some dishes and plates can be veganized, just ask the vendor from one of the many options. Some nights there are live bands or beer yoga! and other special events so check out their website. I really enjoyed Mercado 60 and can't wait to go back for more eats and cold beers.

One place we were passing was trying to entice us with hamburgers and chicken wings. So we decided to leave that area in search of another place.

They have other Yucatán specialties like shark and other seWe have been finding that like in the US, portions are large and because we are here for a few days we don't want to have leftovers. The entree is like a breaded tenderloin, fried served with papas fritas, a small salad of cabbage and beets, a serving of black beans and rice. A nice half loaf of bread that is like the po boy bread in New Orleans and a Yucatán habanero sauce that will light you up! The pork was tender and juicy:) The owner was kind and patient with our ability to butcher Spanish. We are glad we came in and are leaving satisfied.

The Merida store is beautiful, housed within a 1903 townhouse. The location has an onsite residency, spa, and cafe, in addition to the perfumery shop! I smelled several of the perfumes from their Mexican collection/line and picked one to take home that I loved, but they offer more than just perfumes - handmade honeys, marmalades, chocolates, home goods, decor, and more! I left with my perfume, a couple of marmalades, and a pink peppercorn honey! The service is wonderful - friendly, patient (I tried just about every perfume from that line), and helpful! Overall, just a wonderful and unique boutique shopping experience in Merida!

Before my massage I was treated with a set of cucumber, cream cheese, rose, & lemongrass tea sandwiches as well as tea which was included in my massage. The masseuse was excellent. Great memorable experience. The young lady at front desk from Los Angeles was super friendly and welcoming.

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.
