Eventually if you are here for a while you are going to find out what we have know for the past decade. Yucatecan food just isn't that good. You could try one of the many Italian restaurants in town owned by Italians. The Lebanese community has been in Merida since the 19th century and own a lot of the businesses here. Hence the good Lebanese food all over the city.
Oliva Enoteca (the newer bigger one) & Oliva Kitchen and Bar are owned by Stefano Marceletti a Roman American expat who also owns the best boutique hotel in Merida, Leconda.
Dadaumpa is owned by an Italian from Parma, Marcello de Crescenzo. Dadaumpa is across the street from Lo Que Hay a vegan restaurant owned by the Lebanese/Uraguan owners of Hotel Mediomundo.
Rafaello's Pizza is owned by a crude lewd rude Italian from the south. Everyone has a story about Rafaello but no one disputes the fact that the pizza is excellent.
Rescaldos Mediterranean Restaurant also has good Pizza. The owners are Greek Canadians so you'll find other good dishes from the region on the menu. Cafe Alemeda is my favorite place in centro to eat Lebanese. Cafe Club near Santa Lucia is owned by an Iranian but the Menu is mostly American. It's a good place for breakfast or a simple lunch.
Try the botanas and tapas at Botella Verde is in the Santa Lucia park next to Ki Xocolatl the Belgian Chocolate shop owned by...Belgians Stephanie Verbrugge and Matheu Bries.
