• Savor a delicious local dish called ceviche. Eaten throughout the Yucatán, ceviche consists of raw fish marinated in citrus juice, chilies, cilantro, and chopped onions. Many restaurants in Mérida serve this local delicacy given their proximity to the ocean.

• Taste a salbute or panucho when out exploring Mérida. Salbutes are deep-fried, puffy corn tortillas that are filled with a delectable assortment of meat, onion, and salsa. Panuchos on the other hand are very similar to salbutes, except that their crust is stuffed with refried black beans before it is cooked.

• Start the day off with some huevos motuleños. Beloved across the region, this delightful breakfast dish is comprised of a fried tortilla that is topped with fried eggs, refried black beans, and a local tomato-based sauce.
