Absolutely superb place for tapas, wine and atmosphere. By far the busiest place we saw in Merida and for a reason. Incredible busy staff who saw us right.

The food was delicious ! They have tapas here which is the small but let’s you try the meat ! Best meat I’ve had so far In Spain . The plates are big and get you full all day ! I recommend it, so much variety here ! And many seats available .

Delicioso pesorejo muy recomendado, es la careta del cerdo hecha a la brasa. Con las cañas te ponen una tapa de ello. Los calamares un poco amargos, hubiera sido mejor fritos y el bacalao dorado un plato muy recomendable también.

La comida estaba buena y las raciones eran acordes al precio. A pesar de estar casi completos, el servicio fue rápido. El número de camareros era acorde al de las mesas. Falla en los aseos, están como en una cueva, hay que tener cuidado con la cabeza. Y en el de señoras no había jabón ni espejo.

Tanto en desayuno como almuerzo, se come de lujo, la atención de los camareros es rápida y eficiente. Precios acorde a la cantidad aunque la carta está medio borrada y no se ve que en terraza tiene un incremento del 10% pero la verdad es que es un sitio tranquilo donde da el solito y se come de lujo.

Un rincón de Mérida para poder reponer fuerzas y degustar tanto platos típicos extremeños como una carta muy apetecible El trato del personal espectacular y amable.

Lugar recomendado por el hostal donde nos hospedamos. Ayer vinimos a tapear por la noche y los chicos que nos atendieron estaban un poco empanados ( despistados ) y con pocas ganas de trabajar. Estaban más atentos al telf. que a las mesas ! Los montaditos estaban buenos aunque el pan se había quemado más de lo esperado. El pinchito estuvo exquisito eso sí. Hoy repetimos para almorzar y el almuerzo ha sido magnífico. La chica que nos atendió fue muy amable y agradable. La carne del solomillo muy tierna, las patatas en su punto y la salsa muy sabrosa. El vino de la casa que nos recomendaron y el postre deliciosos. El local algo ruidoso por los comensales, pero si buscas algo típico del lugar con buena comida y un precio asequible, este es tu lugar.

Nice place to enjoy classic Spanish food and wine. Service was quick and food was really good. Half raciones allows you taste a few dishes.

Ok little bar, tried the pestorejo tapa which was free and have to say it was delicious but 14€ for a plate of ribs and potatoes was expensive, the ribs were crispy and well cooked but there was very little meat to scrape off them, mainly bones and there were piles of chips and very few ribs which is usual these days. Waiters pleasant and friendly and helpful around food allergies but there was hardly anything I could eat on the menu. Service was quick but very hard to get a table unless you arrive before they start serving food.

Louisa Mead

Great location and good local dishes - highlight was the potatoes and peppers. Not too hard to get a table which is a bonus!

Mike Smith

Great bar-restaurant. Superb hand cut chips, a ratiom is more than enough for 4 people whilst the tasty bocadillos are well worth the stop.

Good food and fast service, i tried the gambas al ajillo; garlic shrimps, simply delicious with some bread and cold local beer! Also there's a nice view of the Plaza España.

La terraza muy bien. La comida muy rica. El precio muy acorde con el servicio y la comida. Eso sí que te cobren un 10% en todo por servicio de terraza muy mal cuando nadie más lo hace. También el interior del local sucio y muy mal pero el baño es una asquerosidad y la puerta no cierra. Las cartas deberían de ser renovadas al igual que los platos, etc.

No se puede negar que la comida está muy buena pero el servicio deja mucho que desear... Vemos a una chica atendiendo la terraza, entramos tras ella a preguntar si podemos comer (eran las 14.45h) y nos dice que preguntemos a alguien que esté atendiendo en terraza 😬 (luego siguió atendiendo en terraza). Preguntamos a otra y nos atendió muy bien (tenian la terraza llena e iban a tope pero muy bien atendida) hasta que a las 15.30h desaparecieron las 3 (una de ellas de chachara con unas amigas, otra no hacia caso) y esperamos 20 minutos para pedir el postre (en la carta pone postres caseros) y me dice... Que postres? Solo tengo no sé que de limon y le digo pues entonces la cuenta porfa (para eso bien rapida) que por cierto la trajeron mal (a la mesa de al lado tambien). Y ya toca renovar las cartas.... Comida: -Chipirones plancha (nos dijeron que la media racion eran 4 y la entera 8, vinieron 7) -Solomillo con salsa de queso (muy poca salsa para mucha carne) -Postres: 1 opcion (lunes)

Al llegar a Mérida, fuimos al Mesón El Pestorejo que nos habían recomendado. Nos decidimos por el cochifrito, el picadillo de tomate y la parrillada. La verdad que el cochifrito nos encanto y el tomate estaba riquísimo, la parrillada traía patatas, pinchitos, costillas y pestorejo. El pestorejo no nos gustó, es más lo dejamos porque estaba totalmente frío y lleno de aceite. No volvimos porque vimos una amiguita en el suelo andando por ahí.

Fuimos al Mesón El Pestorejo, en la Plaza de España de Mérida. Había bastante gente y la comida estaba bien, destacando que las croquetas de jamón estaban espectaculares. En general, una experiencia agradable.

Croquetas top, ubicación inmejorable… pero la cerveza pide unas cuantas horas más de frío y el servicio, paciencia. Frente a la plaza más emblemática de Mérida, El Pestorejo tiene todos los ingredientes para ser un acierto. Y sin embargo, cuando el ritmo de cocina va más rápido que el del servicio, pasa factura. Nos sentamos a tomar una cerveza y un aperitivo y pedimos un par de cervezas Alhambra, a la altura de las temperaturas de la su tierra de origen; estaban bastante calientes a pesar de que preguntamos antes de pedirlas si estaban bien frías o nos podían traer un vaso congelado (que por cierto, no tenían). De picar pedimos croquetas de pollo y fue un gran acierto, eran 4 croquetas bastante sabrosas, caseras, con textura cremosa y rebozado fino. Lo mejor de la visita para llevarnos buen sabor de boca. Un punto a favor es que te ponen pestorejo de tapa con la bebida. Tapa agradecida para probar gastronomía típica de la ciudad sin necesidad de pedirla a propósito. 🧐: 3/5 ⭐️⭐️✳️✳️✳️ 📍Lugar: Céntrico, ubicación perfecta si eres turista y vas de visita a la ciudad. 💶Precio: 5–10 EUR por persona. 🤤Cantidad: Correcta. Tapas incluidas con bebida y croquetas muy generosas. 🌀Rapidez: Lentísima. Mucho tiempo de espera para pedir y servir. 🤙🏻Ambiente: Turístico, terraza animada. 🗣️Atención/trato: Poco resolutivos y desagradables las personas que estaban el día que fuimos. 🕓Horario: Continuo. Consultable en Google Maps. ✅❎Tupper: No procede. ✅❎Take away: No indicado.

Stopped here for a quick lunch. Opted for a foot long baguette of Iberian meat. It was fine. This was obviously a place locals came for local dishes and while away the time. Seemed just to be outdoor…

Great location and a tasty "tinto de verano", but that's all. We have tried the 2 specialties, the parrillada and the chuletitas, and it tasty as nothing. Completely lacks in flavor. You need to call a waiter 4 or 5 times and they eventually forget to deliver the drinks. Only worth to one drink with the view and nothing more.

Great location, average food but the service was diabolical. After ordering our drinks, we asked our waiter twice if we could order food. Eventually, I went up to the till to order. We were finally served our food 1 hour and 15 minutes after ordering our first drinks. It's a shame because the location is a pot of gold.

Tourist trap. Lovely place on a historic square, though located next to busy street with traffic. Uninterested waiters, slow service. Have not tried the kitchen as I was afraid to after having visited the bathrooms.

Nice locals at the bar and very friendly to chat with. Servers busy and not interested in service. Brought silverware after we had finished eating. Sand in grilled calamari and acted as if we were crazy when we brought it to their attention and asked to return. Couldn’t eat it because it was so sandy.

Visited this bar on October 20th at approx 5pm, while waiting for a friend to pick us up. We took a table on the terrace , after waiting for quite a while I went inside and ordered 2 wines, there were 2 staff present, I was told to take a seat and the waiter would be with me in a minute, I ordered 2 glasses of Palacio Quemado red wine, when the waiter brought the wine I asked for the bill, I was given a bill for €5.90. I tendered €6. The waiter returned with the charge 10 cents, but what I got was 10 single cent coins. On reexamination of the menu, the wine was listed @ €2.70 per glass. The bill had the wine priced @ €2.95 per glass. The service was poor and certainly not acceptable. As for pricing we were over charged by 25 cents per glass. Needless to say we were not satisfied at all .

I had a very bad experience here. The service on the terrace is non existent, but they still charge you 10% for it. I had to literally chase the waitress around the terrace to get a bill. Then, she disappeared and I had to hang around waiting to pay, despite calling her over. Finally, I had enough of this shambolic place, marched over to the bar and complained loudly about the service. I received no apology. On the way out, I also expressed my unhappiness to the waitress, who just said she was too busy to serve me. Avoid this place, unless you want to ruin your day.

Very bad service. The waiters do not speak English. We attempted to order fried calamaries two times. My son waited for dinner until midnight. The waiter did not understand the order two times in 21:00 and again in 22:30. At 23:00 we finally got something to eat.

Phil From Salisbury

Only wanted a beer That took a lifetime of being ignored by a miserable looking waiter,who probably wished he had worked harder at college than end up in this job. Exactly how not to run a cafe

Soraya Puerto-Khalil

The food was decent but nothing special and if you’re looking for fast service to move onto your next experience in Merida, forget it. This was the second time coming here in hopes of having a better experience but the second visit was just as terrible as the first. The service here is terrible. They forgot the food that we ordered, were not at all attentive to our table and were rude in all aspects of service. Bathrooms are absolutely disgusting and my entire group could not wait to leave this establishment. Other than a decent location in Merida’s plaza, I would never recommend this restaurant to anyone I remotely respect.

Typical tourist trap restaurant in the Plaza de Espana. We had a couple of drinks there in the evening and it was OK, so we agreed to meet our friends there for breakfast. The waiter was slow, made a mistake with a very simple order, and didn't seem to care. But the worse thing was the bathroom! I went to the gents, the toilet was blocked with you know what and masses of toilet paper and the floor was filthy. This was at 10:30 in the morning, so clearly nobody had cleaned up from the night before, and it was not busy. If the toilets are like this I dread to think what the kitchen is like. Note: I am reposting this because it was rejected for no apparent reason, everything said above us true. I'm guessing the business was able to get the post rejected, let's see if it goes through this time.

First we got the drinks fast, it was good. my food came quickly but it was cold and very salty. Then we got another dose, it was just ok. Next we waited and waited and waited. We asked for a bill and then we got the rest of the meals. No apologies for waiting. Finally, the decline came quickly.
