La Bella Epoca. This was the worst place I’ve eaten. Service was terrible, food arrived not hot, not even warm…..felt like it was sitting on counter for the 40 minutes we waited for it. Had to send it back. The grilled fish was not even the size of the palm of my hand. Asked for the check and after waiting 20 minutes, had to walk down to the main floor only to find the waiter talking to the girl at the bar. Then, he gave us the wrong check. When I told the manager about our experience, he didn’t even apologize. Just listened and walked away. HUH? I vote them the WORST restaurant in Merida.

If you love real Italian thin-crust pizza, you MUST try Rafaelo’s Pizza on Calle 60 at the corner of 49, across the intersection from Cafe Chocolate. As a professional chef myself, I have to say I haven’t had pizza this good anywhere outside of Italy. And – get this – you and a friend can share a pizza for lunch or dinner, plus a drink for just $10.00 US! The atmosphere is simple but nice, and at night they open up the back courtyard. There is a pet parrot named Bruno who will greet you, and the happy husband-wife team are super friendly.

Jennifer, this list is a bit dated (about a year old). Check out our Merida Restaurants Listing (in the topics list on the top right of each page) and you’ll see a very comprehensive list of restaurants, with times, addresses, directions and reader comments. There are a lot of good restaurants here now… but not necessarily right in the Centro.

Great to find this list although might be out of date by now. I had some very average meals at Peregrino and La Bella Epoca. Peregrino: poor service, expensive La Bella Epoca: “old” fish. Heard a lot about Merida’s great restaurants but haven’t found them yet so I am going to try some of the others that readers mention here.
