El Gallito Mérida Reviews
This is a wonderful local bar with a friendly and welcoming feel. The bar staff look after you and make your time here highly enjoyable.
This is my go to place. Food or drink it's great and staff are friendly
Awesome place. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Service is great. I would highly recommend this place.
Great cantina at a historic location, but updated, more modern atmosphere. Located a few blocks west of the Paseo Montejo area, so now more of a hangout for expats and occasional tourists like me rather than a working class kind of place. Relatively small interior, limited seating at the bar. Not crowded on a hot Thursday afternoon. Friendly, attentive service. Good selection of ice cold national beers, special and standard mixed drinks. Modest food menu; wings, french fries, pok chuk. Excellent botanas, among the best in my extensive experience. No blaring music. Highly recommemded as a place to relax have a drink, and enjoy being with friends.
This is my favorite bar in Merida, hands down. The food, service and atmosphere are all great. For me, what’s best are the people behind the bar. They make this place special! Oh, and the music they play is so good.
Didn't have food, but have now been there twice. Lovely authentic cantina, very reasonable.
Great place to visit to get away from the more touristy bars..... Lots of locals drinking, small plates of food with your drink. Really affordable prices
Great cantina! Great service! Plenty of botanas! We’ve been here more than once and will go back again!
This place quickly became my favourite local! Drinks, snacks a plenty and atmosphere 😋 👌
Our local haunt - great service, great botanas, and cheap beer 👍🏻👍🏻
One of the best bars near "Montejo". It is not La negrita's style, more old fashioned but super cool.
This place is recommended during the hot afternoons as a refreshing escape. Mexican beer is cheap (26 pesos) and you get lots of snacks. Good service. A good way to experience a mexican cantina.
My favorite cantina in Centro for good and plentiful botanas and cheap beers. Friendly staff and welcoming to all.
This little spot off the beaten track is a diamond in rough. Fabulous service, amazing food, and all at a great price!!!
Merida's oldest cantina, El Gallito was one of our favourite beer stops. They serve almost every Corono-owned beer under the sun (Corona, Pacifico and Leon to name a few) and the free tapas that they serve while you drink were all amazing (especially the sikil pak!) Very cool spot for any beer lover to check out.
Nice local bar with cheap beer, recommended if you want something authentic
It is a nice bar if you are staying in the Santa ana area. Away from touristy bars and cheaper prices
Good cheap beer - but we got here just after 7 pm on a Tuesday night and no food was being served. None of the delightful snacks others mentioned. Therefore I cannot give a food rating. Extremely disappointed.
Food bad and service slow. Very noisy
I was looking forward for El Gallito to open again, but I was very dissapointed with the quality of everything. The server got our beers but she did not open the bottles. We had to twist them. The snacks that are plentiful and delicious in most places were scare and bad. The refried beans plate had a teaspoon of beans. The german potatoes lacked salt and quantity, the codzitos were unedible... It sads me that a place that I used to love have decided to become such place.
