What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Te Extraño, Extraño is praised for its trendy and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere, making it a popular spot for brunch and coffee. Guests frequently commend the fresh ingredients and delicious flavors of dishes like the ceviche, chilaquiles, and French toast, as well as the attentive and friendly service. However, some diners note that portion sizes can be small, and a few reviews mention issues with greasiness or seasoning in certain dishes.
"I got the ceviche and it was SOOOO good and refreshing. Dishes are a bit small though, so keep that in mind. The aesthetic of the place is so cute as well too. They brought out our check in a poetry book as well, so cute!"
Mariel Camargo
"Looking forward to returning to dine here again. It was fantastic. softly decorated with subdued colors. Went with a group of friends & we all enjoyed our meals. Staff was attentive and kind."
Luna Mata
"Underwhelming and nothing special. We had the Chilaquiles. The tortillas chips are very small pieces and super greasy. The salsa is meh. The chicken was not seasoned at all and not hot. We also ordered the barbacoa tacos. The meat was tough and surprisingly bland even with two salsas. The sikil pak was okay but kinda dense (missing tomato) and very greasy chips as well.
The service was good and fast and the atmosphere is very trendy but beautiful. Lovely courtyard and plants."

Where to Eat in Merida, Mexico
I just read about Te Extraño Extraño for coffee, breakfast and lunch in a contemporary setting. For cocktails Casa Chica at Paseo de Montejo 498B comes highly recommended as does La Fundacion Mezcaleria for a great selection of mezcals. They recently moved to a new location at Calle 59 #509 x 60 y 62.
