Santa Ana Market

Great outdoor spot for fresh juices and some local food

A trove of delicious and affordable Yucatecan food. Delicious fresh juices, countless local dishes, all enjoyed outdoors. Salbutes, Rellenos Negros, tamales are all outstanding. All of the habanero salsas are exceptional.

Great restaurant in a great spot. Our mesero, Cesar, was awesome. Very friendly and helpful. Food was good and the craft beer selection too.

It is place, where you can get souvenirs and give a chance to loc gastronomy. You can find “panuchos”, “tamales”, “salbutes” and more delicatessens. Mérida is well known, actually the entire state of Yucatán, for its “Cochinita Pibil”, where this dish saw the light for first time, many years ago. Enjoy this must, eat and walk in to the shops.

Loved it here - authentic Yucatan food, the waiters really try to win you, the juices are delicious and the prices are fantastic. Much better food than some of the up-scaled restaurants that are close to pretentious rather than being authentic.

Along most streets after 7:00 pm these energetic people pedal through if there is nice weather or not. The fresh goodies are worth running to the door for. The (pan) bread absolutely wonderful, soft, often oven warm and very economical. No need to go to the market and walk home in the heat. Not usually delivered on Sunday or Monday nights in some zones. When you catch the delivery person ask what nights are available. Once they know you are interested they will often slow and honk the hand operated bicycle horn louder. Please attempt to enjoy this home delivery service it is worth the effort. For 12 years we have enjoyed many of the delivery people in a multitude of housing locations throughout Merida. Enjoy.

I am here on vacation and found this place on you tube. I went for dinner then lunch Excellent service and food!

Very few people mention the fact that there is a market indoors here, open every day from 7 am until 2 pm, with produce stalls, a meat vendor, a tortillería (makes fresh corn tortillas, and also sells eggs), and several other stalls that sell miscellaneous spices, hot sauces, juices, etc. When I stay in the neighborhood just south of the restaurants on Calle 47, I come here for my fresh fruits and vegetables. It's easy to miss the entrances, but you should check it out. The marchantes are friendly, the quality is good, the variety is limited but typical. It's a small version of what you find at the Mercado de Santiago (my favorite market) or the wonderful, massive central market (Lucas de Gálvez). Given the scarcity of produce and grocery stores east and southeast of Santa Ana, this was a real find for me!
