La Barra de Huniik
Mexican, Creative · ★ Michelin
$$$$
It's next door to sibling Huniik, but La Barra de Huniik dances to its own beat. Designed to mimic an omakase, the small space sports a fresh, contemporary Yucatán feel, and while the mood is light, the team is laser focused on ingredient quality and execution. Presented as a tasting menu that can be self-directed or chosen by the chef, courses are centered around corn. A tender yellow corn tortilla is given a bold boost thanks to a grilled hoja santa leaf filled with herbs and crumbled chicharrón, while duck and heirloom tomato present a punchy and unexpected riff on cochinita pibil. A tamal

Pueblo Pibil
Mexican, Regional Cuisine · Bib
$$
Nestled in Tixkokob in a converted 18th-century mansion, Pueblo Pibil is a charming spot spotlighting authentic Yucatecán dishes and utilizing the al Pib technique of cooking in an underground hearth-style pit. The meat, buried for more than 15 hours on fire with chukum and catzín wood, plus oak leaves and jabín, is the reason you're here. Chef Silvio Campos, widely considered the "mastro of the pibil," is perhaps best known for his cochinita pibil, or slow-roasted pork. It's marinated in citrus, then braised and wrapped in banana leaves before being roasted over the fire for an impossibly ten

Taquerías Kisín
Mexican · Bib
$$
This bustling taqueria outside the city center of Merida draws a crowd, with hungry diners all here for a taste of Chef Roberto Solis' signature taco style. Dubbed "pastor negro," Solis takes trompo-style cooked pork and enhances it with the local spice paste of recado negro, a staple in Yucatán cuisine. Meat may be enjoyed as tacos, tortas, nachos or even gyros. Empanadas, made with yellow masa and flecked chayo, or Mayan spinach, are filled with gooey queso de bola and served with a roasted tomato salsa, make a perfect snack. Tacos are a must, as are the house-bottled agua frescas, especiall

Pancho Maiz
Mexican · Bib
$$
This outwardly unassuming little bakery cafe is more ambitious than it appears, with Chefs Xóchitl Valdés and Selena Cadenas at the helm. Casual and friendly, they offer typical breakfast and lunch fare, elevated by the use of quality local ingredients, with a particular focus the local native corn varieties, which they nixtamalize and mill in-house to make a variety of tortillas and other masa-based preparations, from a tetela filled with pork adobado to chicken flautas bathed in mole. The cooking is simple, but shows an edge of refinement in presentation and technique, making typical dishes

Ixi'im
Mexican, Contemporary · ★ Michelin
$$$$
Amid the greenery-laden beauty of the Chablé Yucatán resort and housed inside a 19th-century hacienda that once produced agave fiber, humble origins have been transformed into an oasis of luxury. Executive Chef Luis Ronzón brings a global perspective to traditional Mayan flavors and techniques, in particular “al pib,” an ancient method of cooking inside an earthen roasting pit, which lends a subtle smoky aroma to the likes of crisped pork cheek and earthy sweet potato glazed with citrus and chile. Ingredients are sourced locally, including from the resort’s own ka'anche, or Mayan garden. Charm

Nectar
Contemporary, Mexican
$$$$
Located inside the attractive Plaza Jardin, with a stylish lofted interior and a spacious open kitchen, this striking restaurant was the proving ground that established Chef Roberto Solis’s status as one of the leading lights of modern Yucatecan gastronomy. The contemporary menu, offered either à la carte or as a 5- or 7-course tasting, encompasses traditional ingredients and flavors alongside global influences, as in crispy pork belly castacán with charred pineapple and xcatic chili, house-made rigatoni with lobster and foie gras, or an intriguing sweet finale of recado negro pavlova with car

Mimado
Mexican
$$
Mimado is a cool, contemporary space north of Mérida's city center in the Plaza Zafira. Inside, a green upholstered banquette is lined with wood tables facing the kitchen, and green tiles and plenty of plants lend an airy feel to the space. Meanwhile, the menu is loaded with daytime offerings with breakfast and brunch items including everything from chilaquiles and pancakes to baked goods with a local flair (think pumpkin seed croissants). Sandwiches are elevated with a local touch, as in the corned beef layered between house-made Japanese milk bread slathered with stone ground mustard, habane

LU|ME
Mexican
$$
It may be difficult to find a place as quaint as LU|ME. Tucked within Pedregales de Tanlum in Mérida, this tiny spot has just a handful of tables sprinkled across a covered patio (the kitchen is accessed through a sliding door of the attached home). This daytime restaurant, from husband-and-wife Angel Peláez Vázquez and Marisol Quintal, is named for their family matriarchs: Lucretia and María Elena. It's all about Mexican brunch that evolves with the seasons. Their cooking is all heart, and while daily specials like a taco de pescado are always a treat, you'll never go wrong with chilaquiles.
