A beautiful restaurant with a small museum of food attached. I ordered the longaniza de valladoid which were nicely cooked and spiced, served with a tomato salsa, tortillas and onion. My only constructive criticism is that a little bit more sausage for the price would have been appreciated. Impeccable service.

Amazing New Year’s Eve dinner. We were served incredibly by Marcos our server that evening . I think this is the best regional food in Merida. Cooked the old fashioned way and with layers of flavor. I come here every visit - it’s a must go. I would give it 6 stars if I could.

Went for breakfast as it was the only available time in the booking system on such short notice (big plus for online booking availability). The food was amazing, I had Huevos Divorciados. Vegetarian options are available. The place itself is really nice, totally recommend. The staff was so-so, when we initially mentioned we only wanted drinks they seemed a bit disappointed and disengaged and the food took a while to arrive. However, I would recommend the place for the amazing food.

A great place for Yucatecan food in Mérida if you’re looking for an elevated fine dining experience. The staff was very friendly and explained all the dishes with patience, the restaurant in a renovated old mansion and the decor is on point with great choice of seating both indoors and outdoors. The Aqua Fresca & Iced Tea was incredible as well!

This is one of the best meals you'll ever have. Poc-chuc is incredible. I could eat here every day for the rest of my life. If you like Mexican food, you'll like this place. If you love Mexican food, you'll love this place.

The museum is a free little experience to learn about the culture. Be sure to check out the huts out back. The food was good and had a traditional feel.

An outstanding dinner experience for anyone seeking truly authentic regional cuisine, though in Mérida, authenticity seems to be the standard everywhere you go. From the moment you arrive, the setting is warm and inviting, almost transporting you back in time. We started with the panuchos and pimitos, which were the perfect way to open a great gastronomic experience. For me, the Pollo Pibil was the standout dish, distinctive, beautifully prepared, and perfectly balanced in flavor. The lechon al horno was equally impressive, and squeezing the (sour) orange over the dish brought all the flavors together. For us, overall, was a wonderful, memorable, and very satisfying dining experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mérida who wants to experience regional cuisine at its best.

At Mugy, Yucatecan classics are treated with the kind of quiet respect that suggests lineage, not trend-chasing. The cochinita pibil is all citrus and smoke, pork pulled into tender submission, wrapped in that unmistakable achiote warmth that tastes like early mornings and buried pits, lifted just enough by pickled onion to keep it honest. And then there’s the relleno negro: a deep, inky bowl of controlled darkness, turkey and pork swimming in a sauce so complex and ancient it feels ceremonial, anchored by a dumpling of masa and the steady presence of a hard-boiled egg. This is food that doesn’t explain itself and doesn’t need to. Mugy doesn’t shout. It remembers. And in Mérida, that might be the highest compliment you can give.

We've eaten at and recommended MUGY for many, many clients. It continues to be one of our favorite, authentic Yucatecan restaurants in the city. We also HIGHLY recommend visiting the gift shop to learn more about the different types of local seeds, beans, and peppers. The complex flavors of Yucatecan cuisine are made even more delicious by learning the different components, flavors, and spices that go into each dish. This particular day, we took clients in so they could learn more about food preparation, spices, and cooking techniques. They loved going in to each of the huts in the back to enjoy different smells and descriptions of the recado seasonings and to watch the ladies making tortillas from scratch. HIGHLY recommended for an enjoyable meal and/or to learn more about Yucatecan cooking!
