Gibba is a glorified food stand on the side of the road serving Arab/Mayan fusion…read more I ordered the taco árabe, a "taco" made with pita bread. The filling had a unique mix of meat and cheese which was absolutely delicious! The mix of flavors were unlike anything I have had anywhere in the 27 states of Mexico where I have traveled. They were big and filling enough two was all I could eat. There are some tables if you can find an empty one (this place is popular among locals). The only reason I don't think it's great for kids is because of the location on the side of the road. It's very informal. Food is served on plastic plates covered with plastic bags. This is not a yuppie place, but has amazing food at cheap prices. Cash only. I would definitely go back for more!

Si tienes hambre, mucha y antojo de algo no tan saludable, o bien tu presupuesto no es muy amplio…read more. Este es el lugar que estabas buscando! Te explico rapidito: tienen los clásicos tacos árabes, están bien, pero no son la gran cosa. Tienen sus especialidades que son tacos con queso hecho con tortillas de chipotle o de jalapeño (no son picantes, sólo le dan un sabor diferente). Ya sea en versión gringa o versión burrito, pide uno de estos, son una delicia! Si no eres muy comelón, dos tacos harán la faena.. Si eres de buen diente: prueba los burros y complementa con tacos o mejor aún pídete una bizza (tamaño pizza individual con pan árabe). No es tan difícil elegir: carne con chorizo verde y rojo. Complementa con salsas: chipotle, ajo, verde o roja y disfruta!

Anytime I eat here I wonder why there's any other food in the city…read more It's that good. Handmade tortillas Flavorful beyond your imagination. There's no way to oversell this food.

Definitely 5 stars, specially on the customer services side…read more Me and my wife got really well treated by our Waiter, plus a guy that looks like a manager was checking on us here and there to see if we need anything. Food was good and conversation was great as well :) The ambience was very energetic and people seems to enjoy everything, great place to meet with groups, friends, couples or by yourself. Go try without regrets :)

I love Apoala, and not just because it's one of the first time I've eaten crickets! The food is…read moreOaxaca's rather than Yucatecan, so it's a good way to explore other Mexican cuisines in Mérida. The drinks are well-made as well. We always have a great time eating here and sitting outside to look out on the square--very romantic!

My husband and I had dinner at Apoala last night - our last dinner in Merida! We really enjoyed…read moreourselves! The menu spans Yucatecan and Oaxacan dishes - which was great since we love both! 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!
