La Pigua — Restaurant in Mérida

My husband and I didn't like this place. The food is very expensive and not really good. My plate was burning but my food was not hot, I took a pulpo al ajo, it was not well cooked, I was expecting a crispy garlic but it was just not tasty and all soft mixed in too much oil.

Puerto Vallarta has some great seafood places with comparable food. It would have been half the price but it was lined up out the door and...

We enjoyed dinner here yesterday. The meal was exceptional. The three of us shared a Sir Francis Drake seafood salad. Huge serving of prawns, squid, cctopus with tomaties and onions topped with a vinegrete dressing. Best we ever had. We each ordered an entre. All three were very tasty and well prepared and presented. All were exceptional value. The orange juice and deserts were way overpriced. The only downside was the acoustics were non existant. The crowd , probably from the congress building across the street, were into tequilas and louder after each shot. But we will...
