El Cardenal Cantina — Restaurant in Mérida

The good: music (jazz night) was great, bar has a nice atmosphere and decor, feels quite relaxed - dive bar atmosphere but with a good mix of people, tourists and locals. Food (pizza and wings) was pretty good, although it took a very long time to arrive despite being simple. Good promotions (check their Facebook page). The bad: drinks were very watered down, you may prefer to stick to beer. Table, floors and menu were sticky. The ugly: we had to wait for ages for our change on the bill and ask different waiters several times for it to be given back. It felt like the waiter wanted us to give up, leave and just leave all the change. And then when change was finally returned, the waiter unilaterally decided to keep 10% as a tip. We would probably have left more if he hadn't done this. It left a very bad taste after a...

Terribile place! You blocked me on Facebook after coment I left so I will left it here. This was good place, we went many times, we sent many europeans here but never more. Barmans treated as terribile yesterday. We ordered 4 caguamas, 2 micheladas mango, ojo rojo and camarón diabla tacos. We recived one round of botana even without totopos so we should eat sikil pak with fingers… when mexican tables were reciving botanas with every beer. Just because your barmans thought we are stupid tourists and you can save on us. We will never ever send you more our clients, we have travel agency. What a shame! We asked finally for lemon and salt… never came! Barmans were more intrested in tv than serving people. There are many much more better places like LA NEGRITA or others. Guys of you are not mexicans...

Terrible drinks and worse food. The Margarita tasted like it came from a mix, and somehow tasted like artificial. Also got a flight of 3 mezcals, a joven that tasted like it was watered down 50/50 with dirty puddle water, and two “infused” mezcals that tested like the joven mixed with emergen-c. The burger was frighteningly bizarre. The meat was white. Like white white. We even asked what kind of meat it was because it looked more like turkey or pork than beef. I think those two options would be the best case scenario for what was in this burger. The pizza with poc chuc and guac was flirting with edibility but just a bizarre and honestly not appealing combination. The worst place I went to in Yucatan by...
