    Hermoso lugar, atención de primera, los precios no son para cualquier bolsillo pero sin duda estará entre mis restaurantes favoritos, la comida no es abundante como en todo restaurante gourmet. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

    The food was amazing. The best octopus I've ever had! The restaurant itself beautiful. Our waiter Eduardo was right on. His timing, recommendations and service level could not have been better. Enjoy it. I'm sure you will!

    Beautiful environment to dine with highly enjoyable food and wine Yerba Santa is a beautifully designed restaurant for groups of all sizes The food is presented with great thought on beautiful plates/boxes and served by well trained staff who also recommended a good Mexican wine to go with our food choices. There was a slight issue in that one of our main course dishes (rib-eye steak) was cold. The server took the dish back to the kitchen and it was soon back with us at an acceptable temperature with profound apologies from the kitchen. I had the duck which was cooked beautifully. The only thing I would suggest is to serve with less sauce and have extra on the side. After our meal we were invited to tour the building and given some of its history I would recommend visiting Yerba Santa for a full dining experience you won't forget

    Really an experience, I don’t know if Yerba Santa is the best restaurant at Mérida, México or elsewhere. It should be considered one of them though… Nice ambiance, service & original with a touch of exotic elegantly presented food…
