Taqueria La Lupita

Definitely try the cochinita pibil. Amazing. It is also worth noting how organized and well run their whole operation is.

The best tacos we had in Merida. Situated in a lovely market there is a good mix of locals having lunch and tourists (well behaved). Had the cochinita pibil, lechon al horno and relleno negro which were all melt in the mouth. If you held a gun to my head and made me choose I would go for cochinita pibil, please don’t make me though.

Go where the locals go - here. Always crowded and known for their lechon. The pork is moist and sitting in it's own juice and fat. They also have grilled turkey, turkey in negro sauce, breaded steak and negro Relleño soup. This is located inside the market. There are many places selling the exact same thing but this place was the most crowded and busy. The food was incredible and the prices were the lowest we've paid during our stay in Merida. I recommend the lechon de horno. It's the roasted juicy moist pork topped with a crunchy pork rind. The combination is music in the mouth. Get it on a taco, torta, tamale or salbute (soft puffy fried corn shell) PROS: Lechon Prices Salbute Eating with locals
