There are a few restaurant groups operating in Merida with multiple restaurants. The owners of La Recova, also have La Parrilla and their La Recova pop-up restaurant for the holidays in Chicxulub. Each of these groups pride themselves on their food, ambience and service. We had dinner at La Recova on Saturday night. As usual, we arrived around 8 pm... More

This steak house is popular, which means crowded and loud. The waiters move frantically from kitchen to tables often making what seems like unnecessary trips which adds to the clatter--- making dining less than relaxing or pleasant. The steaks are pretty good for Mexico. The parking is free (valet). Despite the number of wait staff, it was often difficult to... More

We wanted to have a special meal for our last night in Merida so we carefully looked through the TripAdvisor reviews and picked this place. Our choices were somewhat limited by the fact it was a Sunday night. It was a big disappointment. First it's far out of the center of the city, in the suburbs. The decor was attractive... More

While househunting, my Realtor was telling me about the wonderful food at La REcova as we drove by...I'm glad I made her turn around! The restaurant is lovely to look at, the service is impeccable and the food is flawless. I had a local fish grilled perfectly with just enough flavoring as to not hide the flavor of the fish... More

La Recova is one of my favourite restaurants in Merida and it's somewhere I make a point of visiting at least once during any stay in Merida. I've always eaten really well there, that is until last night! My dining partner and I chose a starter of Esparragos al a Parmesana to share, and then she ordered the Bife Corto... More

We are carnivore and we love steaks. La Recova is one of the best places for steaks. perfectly cooked meat, great service, good wine. You are in Mexico for Mexican food, but you shouldn't miss this place!

Beautifully furnished (modern style) this Argentinian restaurant is worthy to visit. The service was very good. The wine list offers some really nice wines. We had some very nice and tasty empanadas as starters. As a main course we had a very good ribeye. Portions are ample. Overall a very nice place with prices just above the average but it's... More

Great cuts of meat in a modernist atmosphere with ample seating inside and out. Definitely not high on the list of tourist spots, this is a locals place but worth a try if you have the extra dough. I believe my ribeye dinner was about 300 to 350 pesos, but it was a monster cut!

Beautiful, modern Argentinian steak house with trendy bar, kitchen behind glass for viewing and excellent service. The portions are more than ample and the desserts...we shared four at our table of six....were amazingly good, especially the dulce de leche. The crowd is late to arrive (not as late as Argentina) and tends to be a younger and more affluent appearing... More
