• La Barra de Huniik★ MichelinWorld's 50 Best #36 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 464m
• Pancho MaizBib 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 1.4km
• Ramiro Cocina Your first sight approaching this humble establishment will be the chalkboard outside, bearing the small menu written daily, and that sets the appropriate tone for this easygoing, personable spot. The unifying element is the masa, transformed into a handful of quesadillas, tacos and empanadas, with much of the offerings being vegetable focused. Particulars will depend on the produce of the season, ranging from nopales to eggplant, though meatier options like quesabirria hit their mark as well.

• Micaela Mar y Leña The name gives a clear outline of what expect at this lively eatery, located in a restored casona, serving up an enticing assortment of high-quality seafood and wood-fired cooking. Fitting the homey aesthetic, the hospitality is welcoming and warm, an excellent match for the rustic, satisfying cooking. Local seafood is offered in various guises, from vibrant ceviches and aguachiles, to marinated octopus skillfully charred on the grill. Meatier offerings impress as well, as in tacos filled with duck tinga, or a juicy seared skirt steak paired with refried beans, bacon and longaniza de Valladoli560m
• Nol Located in front of Santa Lucía Park in the heart of bustling Mérida, Nol has an endearing old-world charm thanks to warm wood wainscoting, tile floors and rustic decor. Chef Eric Bautista highlights local culinary traditions while reimagining them with touches of modernity. The compact menu may shift with the seasons but it's always creative, as seen in dishes like tetelas filled with pressed pork crackling and Oaxacan cheese over a pistachio papadzul sauce dressed with epazote oil. From the first bite, perhaps a sope with diced tomatoes and salsa macha, to the final taste of sponge cake with926m
• LU|ME 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. 2.6km
