Manjar Blanco - $$   I really like this restaurant for a great breakfast or lunch. They have a great breakfast paquete that includes coffee, a fruit plate and an breakfast entree cooked to perfection. Try the motulenos for a local specialty. I actually  like the Yucatan food here better than the highly touted Chaya Maya. The food quality is great and even chef, Rick Bayless, made a stop there.  Located on  Calle 47 # 496 por 58 y 60 | Centro, Merida, Yucatan.
