The concept is a 10-seat bar in which interaction is created between the chefs and the diner.
We have 3 menus.

-Short omakase.
-Long omakase.

An amazing dining experience from start to finish. Staff is attentive and kind, the setting is beautiful and the food is outstanding. We were impressed by each dish and loved the way the chefs incorporated distinct flavours of the Yucatan into the meal. Highly recommend if you’re in Mérida and want an outstanding dining experience.

Good and service both excellent. It is quite a long way out of the centre of Merida (30 mins by taxi) especially in the evening rush hour. Music and videos on large screen tv’s can also be a bit distracting. We had the tempura squid and fillet mignon to share which were both excellently prepared, cooked and presented. Porfirios ice cream cart to finish was fantastic.
