Great food, price, and service. The restaurant is a bit off the beaten path, but we'll worth a visit. The fresh juice was delicious.
We ate here 3 days ago, actually found it by accident. It turned out to be some of the best food during our Yucatan trip. Their signature drink should be their Horchata. I Vote it best Horchata in the Yucatan.
So glad we enjoy wandering and exploring. Today’s adventure near Parque de las Americas we discovered Don Massu on a quiet street near the park. Great atmosphere in a traditional neighborhood. Our breakfast enchiladas were served promptly and very flavourful. The coffee was served hot and robust as a great coffee should be. Discovering little places such as this feel like a reward for being adventurous and stepping away from the main attractions.
My wife and I both had chilaquiles. Both excellent. My son had oatmeal pancakes, which was also very good. The juices were very good too.
this tiny place is one of the shiniest hidden gems we have ever discovered. No more than the front courtyard of a small home, with only 3 tables, it could be easily overlooked. But this place gave us the best value for money meal we have had in a month in Merida. Tasty food, generous portions, and a price that doesn't seem near high enough! And Massu was great as well.
My wife and I came to this off the beaten path hole in the wall for breakfast . The restaurant is tiny, with a few tables crammed into a covered area and two more outdoors on the sidewalk. We were promptly greeted and given menus – the type on the menu is tiny, so bring your reading glasses. We both ordered chilaquiles – my wife had hers with chicken and salsa verde, and I had mine with eggs. They were very good, with the perfect amount of salsa and crema. I also enjoyed my cafe americano, and my wife really liked her iced latte. Service was very good, and some English was spoken if needed. Prices were very reasonable – 310 for two dishes and coffees before tip. I will definitely return.
Really good food and hospitality. They have the best chilaquiles I have had so far in Mexico and I’ve tried 3 other places but none compare to theirs! The hot cake sandwich, I forgot the name of it (with ham, jam, egg) was really good as well. They suggested trying it and it was worth it. Definitely coming back here before leaving Mexico! Bonus points for the adorable kitten also So sweet
This is such a pleasant little place, a hidden gem in Garcia Gineres. Food and service are just right. It reminds me of goldilocks... everything is just right!
