Tacos “Javis” — Restaurant in Mérida

We just stopped here today and I feel like I was taken advantage of. We had 3 tacos and 2 tortas with pork with 2 bottles of water. The signs all around said that the tacos and the tortas dishes were each $35 pesos. They tasted ok which at least was a plus. We asked for the bill and the waiter then said in Spanish $190 pesos it didn’t seem right but it was loud and me speaking ok Spanish but not the best gave him a $500 pesos bill and asked for change. He gave me back only $280 pesos for change now making the total $220 pesos. I looked at him like ok where is the rest and he waved his hand at me and said that’s it.

No way to know if there are many that return to this place, but it seems unlikely when there are many dozens of other fondas to choose from. As is said, once burned, always shy of the flame. Make sure you establish the prices before ordering. Count your change! Be extra vigilent! Don't let your guard for a moment or you are likely to...

Spent a week in Merida and ended up passing by Javis every single day. 3 tacos for 35 pesos (at the moment of writing this). Their Al pastor tacos are probably the best in town. Service is quick.

Their Agua Fresca are amazing. Pineapple and orange were my favorite ones.

I highly reconned...
