At Mala Vida, we're passionate about creating an unforgettable experience for our guests. Our vibrant bar is nestled in the heart of Mérida's Centro, offering a unique blend of music, atmosphere, and delicious eats.

Our tacos al pastor are a fan favorite, paired with an order of drinks included in our entrance fee. With two distinct areas for dancing and socializing, we're the ideal spot for a night out on the town or just meeting up with friends.

Completely renovated, the spaces, the music, and consequently the atmosphere, all at a super affordable price. And the cherry on top is that the cover charge includes an order of tacos al pastor.

Excellent place! They now have two sections, one for dancing and another for drinks, which is fantastic. Plus, they brought in a mariachi band! Excellent! They have food, drinks, and a great atmosphere.

Ideal for going out to LP. If you go and don't dance to the floor, you didn't go there. Affordable prices. Their palomas and cubas are very good. If you're a fan, I don't recommend this place. If you want an easy place, this is it. ;)

Great evening. Terrace for drinks and dance floor at the entrance (well-ventilated, essential for a wild evening). Almost 100% Latin music, very young clientele. Very good atmosphere, customers very welcoming to foreigners, ready to dance the night away with us. In short, a great evening, highly recommended place.

A few days ago, I went out with a friend. We hung out for a moment and left our drinks on the table. Someone grabbed them and took them away. I reported it, and within minutes, they gave us new ones. Thanks! Very friendly, great atmosphere, good music!

Muchísima gente, el espacio es reducido, los tacos de pastor regulares, las margaritas de limón deliciosas! Buen ambiente, excelente trato al cliente por parte de los meseros 👍👍👍

Nice and pleasant place for a good chat and a good time. I didn't like the drinks I prepared, but I have no complaints about the food and beer. I'm unsure about the name of the place, Malavida - Peninsula Burger.

Great place with a good atmosphere. Excellent service from the waiters, who are quick and attentive. Affordable prices. They sell Grupo Modelo beer. They offer food such as snacks. It's an open-air venue. The music is mostly salsa and old-school reggaeton. They have a great playlist selection for those who prefer this type of music.

A good place to dance and have a drink. The staff is attentive and the drinks are reasonably priced. I recommend asking about the Carajillo special. (It depends on the day.) I feel like it's lacking some decor, but other than that, it's a good spot.

Great atmosphere, good music, and very affordable. I love it for going dancing and having a great time. The waiters are very friendly, and there's a great atmosphere too.

It's really cheap, the cover charge includes two tacos and then the beers are very inexpensive. The atmosphere is great, but the place is a bit small and the music is mostly just unpopular reggaeton :(. If they played better music and made the bathroom look nicer, I think it would be more popular. Overall, it's okay.

Good prices, the dance floor is usually packed by midnight, good music, and if you don't like crowds, you can stay at your table and dance. The cover charge includes two tacos. Be careful with the salsas, they're very spicy.

Good place to go and have a good time and dance all night. If you want a table, it's best to go with several people since they ask for a 100 peso consumption fee for the table, which isn't much. Prices are a bit high, but nothing excessive.

David Abarca

Authentic perreo! Very, very affordable: 25 pesos for admission (if there's a cover charge!), including two tacos al pastor, a 100-peso minimum to sit at the table, amazing music, and reggaeton all night long. A unique experience.

Jorge Sanchez

They need to change the guy who plays the music. He thinks it's dance music, but that doesn't mean that almost no one dances. That was my experience today. I asked for a song to dance to, and they didn't play it for me. I don't know why it was a cumbia. The point is to get people to dance, not to make them think their music is good. I say this because I had a lot of sound in Mexico.

I'm not going back. I went intending to have two or three beers, but to get a seat they require a minimum spend of 100 pesos plus the cover charge; otherwise, you have to eat or drink standing up. I know it's not a lot of money, but it bothers me that they make it so. The food isn't good, and the atmosphere is full of reggaeton. It's just awful.

El dj no decide que tipo de música poner y la mayoría que pone está del pito, además la música está muy fuerte y los meseros son muy invasivos. No volvería y lastima, el lugar está padre.

I didn't like it. There was sewage near the table where I sat, it smelled bad, and the music wasn't good. The prices are affordable and the waiters are friendly. However, I wouldn't go back there.

It's a different atmosphere, but for just 75 pesos for three sodas, I had to leave a 50-peso tip so the waiter wouldn't get into trouble. I'm clarifying the low consumption because I went with women and they had an open bar. However, if I say we each had two glasses, I'd be exaggerating, because the drinks were excessively strong. And to top it off, the waiter harassed one of my friends to convince me to leave a bigger tip. It's a shame, but I WON'T BE BACK.
