“ My family and I stumbled upon this place and were so happy we did! The owner/somm was extremely welcoming and truly passionate about his business, food, & wine. He let us taste several wines to help us make our decision and provided extra info about the menu. He happily accommodated vegetarian diet. We had the Mediterranean plate, 5 cheese plate, two pasta dishes, several wines, and desert and it was all delicious! We loved this place and would definitely go back—highly recommend! ”
“ A gem! Excellent wine selection with tapas food & fresh pasta selections. Lovely for solo time or groups. ”
“ A lovely wine bar with some delicious Mexican wine selections the sommelier/owner sources out himself. The tapas we tried (the mixed meat/cheese board and olives) were delicious. The owner also pours you tastes of whatever wine he happens to be featuring, and then treats and serves you like you are a guest at his house. It is a place I would go to again and again if I lived in Merida. Highest recommendation!! ”
