Eladio's

What an excellent establishment. They bring you tons of food when you buy drinks. Every dish was delicous. The food we ordered was delicous as well, panuchos and guacamole. Cocktails were tasty. Eduardo was the best. He made the experience even better. This is a great local hangout.

Lovely service, and I have found my favorite dish in Merida just around the corner will be back many times for this treat

Great service! Good food. Prices were fair for all that you get. Music was too loud for early lunch maybe for later in the afternoon would be great. Nice place.

I sat down for a bite on Saturday and there was music, dancing, great food and drinks. I was brought an entire tiny buffet before ordering. I did order my dinner to go while enjoying a mango colada! I recommend this place!

Where should I even begin... We came as a group of friends attracted by positive reviews of this place and excited to try some local dishes. When we entered, the really loud live music hit us hard, as two different waiters competed to have us sit it their sections. One of them was really persistent trying to sit us at a corner table next to the hot kitchen area despite plenty of other good tables available. As a result we changed to another table. The music was so loud, we could not hear each other and the band was mediocre in its best moments and absolutely unbearable the rest of the time. Not sure why we decided to stay anyway, perhaps because we were tired, hungry and still had the good reviews in our heads, but we shouted our order at the waiter and carried on with the madness trying to absorb (and not go deaf from) the local 'folklore'. Soon our drinks arrived - tiny overpriced Aperol spritz, huge but slightly watery pina colada, an equally watery local cocktail and beer (the beer was fine and two for the price of one 🙂), followed by local snacks on the house (pickled vegetables, spicy beetroot, cooked potatoes, vegetable paste of some sort and nachos). A nice concept in general but the snacks were nothing special. Soon after, our main dishes started coming, each more curious than the last. The first were tacos with dry meat topped with boiled egg halves with no distinct flavour nor colour. Second was a brown colour cheese soup with a big block or half-melted half-cold cheese. The broth could be described as salty more than any other flavour and the cheese got hard after a moment and kept splashing back into the soup when eaten with a spoon (we had not been given a knife). The next dish to arrive was guacamole and what a disappointment! Seasoned with vinegar and watered down, the usual creamy avocado taste was not there at all and the dish would have been unrecognisable had it not been for the colour. We left most of it. My grilled fish with avocado sauce which came next was ok but bland. Perhaps the best of all but still not something to recommend to anyone. But the best (worst) was yet to arrive. Just when we thought it had been forgotten, our pepperoni pizza was served. (I know this is not exactly local food but we also wanted one 'safer' dish. ) The pizza or should I say something that a child might have drawn and the chef attempted to make - was a flat bread covered with bad quality cheese, salty brown tomato sauce (similar in flavour to the cheese soup broth but thicker) and plastic-looking orange salami. At this point we simply gave up, paid the bill and left. The waiter offered to pack the pizza for us but we kindly shouted back (the music was still blasting) we were fine 😉 The experience was consistently bad. Do not go there unless consuming of large amounts of salty/bland/brownish food while your insides vibrate from the noise is your thing.
