    We ended our trip in Mérida with dinner here and it couldn’t have been more perfect. We shared the ribs for two, and it was beautifully presented and delicious. Our host provided us with a tour after our meal, and service was excellent

    An Extraordinary Culinary Experience – Michelin-Worthy! Dining at Maria Raíz y Tierra in Mérida, Mexico, was an absolute masterpiece of an experience. Chef Ezequiel and his team have created something truly extraordinary. The 6-course menu they crafted was a celebration of local, fresh ingredients—many of which the Chef grows in his own home! Every dish was a work of art, perfectly balanced in flavor, presentation, and creativity. You could feel the passion and dedication in every bite, and the service was impeccable—attentive, warm, and professional. Though they don’t have a Michelin star (yet!), they absolutely deserve one. This is not just a meal; it’s an unforgettable journey through the flavors of Mexico, guided by a team of true culinary artists. If you’re ever in Mérida, do not miss this gem. Chef Ezequiel and his team have created something truly special. A perfect 10/10 dining experience!
