Taqueria La Lupita

We had a great meal here, my favorite being their polcanes, which was my first and still my favorite.

Quick and good service, we had a very patient and kind waitress who answered many questions and gave us some tips for the city.

Be sure to get some fruit from the other side of the market for dessert.

Such great food! Authentic, quick, flavourful, good portions - anything with lechon al horno is definitely something to write home about. Service is quick and efficient. Atmosphere - you’re eating in a market so nothing to rave about but an interesting experience.

Lechon tacos are so delicious, it's really the best lechon I've tried. It's in mercado Santiago, which is cleaner than other markets. Very affordable prices.

Got four to go tacos de lechon (a sort of fried pork skin, rind). They are delicious 😋. Price 68 Mexican pesos. I ate them at my home away from home in Merida, by the pool, accompanied by a dark ice cold beer!

Certainly one of the highlights of eating in Merida. The lechón al horn torta is worth the trip alone.

Really enjoyed eating here. Local experience. Loved the lechon al horno here. Came here for breakfast three times. Especially enjoyed their polcan with lechon but the last time they didn't have it. Reasonable prices.

It meets expectations and surpasses them, great place, very cheap! Everyone I visit Mérida I need to visit at least twice, already miss it!

We visited eight Taqueria in Merida for Conchinita Pibil during the day and La Lupita was by far unsurpassed for this dish. So unctuous, with a smokey and aromatic flavour profile. Absolutely the shining star of this notable Yucatan dish

We had the tortas, and they were awesome. The pork is buried and cooked for hours underground and seasoned well. Made with real love. The staff were very attentive and gave great service with a smile. They are located inside a little old-school Mexican food court that shows its age. BTW you need 5 pesos to use the washroom so and get toilet paper. Lol

We wanted to try this place in the Santiago Market but twice it has been super busy. Well one time it was a Saturday so thats to be expected. Anyway we went on a Tuesday at 1130am and there were plenty of tables and no waiting. We ordered conchita pibil and carne asada tacos and huevos montelenos and everything was very flavorful and cooked to perfection. Service was quick and very friendly. Theres definately a reason why this spot is so popular and we experienced it first hand.

Well worth the hype and Netflix/YouTube appearances! Best cochinita pibil I've tried, lechón and carne empanizada both delish. Panucho and salbute bases were so fresh! The polcan kept me full for hours! Prices very reasonable and quick service.

Authentic, low prices, best Conchita Pibil. A must-do when staying in Mérida

Small market taqueria. Atmosphere is lively , lots of people watching to do while you wait for the food. We had tortas with the recommended cochinita pibil. Simple and delicious. Very inexpensive. We will return before we leave. The lady that served us spoke English and was very kind.

Can't beat this local eatery at Mercado No 2. We are here two days in a row for breakfast and also picked up fruit for our daily adventures. A must not miss spot to eat if youre looking for an authentic local experience.

No, it's not fine dining with white linens and crystal. It's local workers, families, tourists like me lucky enough to have been tipped to this out of the way taqueria. Packed at 3 p.m.

I tried the Huevos motuleños and really enjoyed it. It was delicious. But go to Lupita an a weekday to avoid the crowds.

Fantastic tacos! If you enjoy a true local experience, this is probably the best place to enjoy your food. Super cheap, delicious and fast service.

This is one of the best mercado restaurants in all Mérida. The food is excellent, but sells out fast because it's so popular. This is a favorita of locals and foreigners.

This is the real deal, and as seen on various TV food shows. This is an unassuming "taco stand" in the rather sterile atmosphere of the covered market, but it dishes up true yucatecan classics (tacos, panucos, salbutas, etc) and at an economical price. This is a place where the locals go.

Best tacos de lechon y cochinita I've ever had, hands down!
