About the restaurant

We are a sensorial journey.
Amazing mixes of intentionally selected items.
An eclectic, mysterious and relaxed bar.
This is a secret and special place, where the spiritual and the material meets and combine creating magic.
A trip to ourselves, where the liquor reveals its secrets from the hand of the mixologist and the kitchen from our chef complements it perfectly.
A hidden space where we are not afraid of the unknown, where everything feeds the spirit...
and, of course, the body too.

We had a wonderful meal. The halibut ceviche was excellent as was the egg plant appetizer. One of us had the chicken --also excellent in a very delicious citrus, garlic green sauce with a slight bit of "heat" . The pork chop was also tasty but a bit overcooked. As for the cocktails the Cadillac margarita was perfect. One guest at our table had a mojito that was underwhelming, with little alcohol and not prepared in the traditional manner with crushed mint. It's a beautiful space and the service was friendly and attentive. A bit on the pricy side for Merida but worth it. We will return and recommend it to others.

El Lagarto de Oro is a very good spot. Chill & welcoming vibe, friendly service (Thank You Carol), good beer list, and a delicious menu. We enjoyed their Salpicon de Chicarra con Pulpo a la Longaniza.

We were delighted to find this beautiful bar and restaurant on Parque Mejorada. My pizza with Serrano ham and mushrooms was excellent; very flavorful crust. My hubby loved his linguine with shrimp. Excellent wine selections. Save room for the cheesecake dessert! Attentive and friendly service. Live music was setting up around 8:30.

Service: The staff was attentive without being overbearing, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. Every recommendation felt genuine, and they went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was exceptional.: The energy of the restaurant was lively yet intimate, making it ideal for both special occasions and casual outings. Thoughtful touches, like the music and the spacing between tables, made the experience feel personal and refined.
