"Definitivamente un lugar para volver a regresar, el trato y la atención es de primera, además de que el lugar es muy agradable, la vegetación te invita a pasar horas y horas con una buena plática y un rico café. La comida está muy buena, pedimos los chilaquiles con chamorro y la quesadilla de res, y un choco french para compartir, este último tiene la combinación perfecta ya que no empalaga y el pan es muy suavecito. La presentación de los platos es muy bonita y se nota la dedicación en cada uno 10/10"

"Food was excellent! Everything we ate and drank was delicious. I had the pipian de res with beef and my wife had the huitlacoche quesadilla. There was nothing left on our plates when fished. Not only was the food outstanding, the attention to detail elevates the dishes even more. Marisol is really nice and friendly and explained to us the food, recipes and concept. The dining room, which the front patio of the home, is very spacious but intimate at the same time. You are surrounded by plants and fans. Even though we came during the hottest time of the year, during the hottest time of the day, it was actually quite pleasant while eating. It’s nice to see something different in Merida. We will be back!"
