"HIDDEN GEM Without a doubt, the best restaurant in Mérida. Moisés, Ulises, Martín, and the entire team go above and beyond in every possible way. The food is outstanding, the service is flawless, and the atmosphere is truly special. We celebrated New Year’s Eve here and couldn’t have imagined a better place to welcome 2026. It’s an experience we’ll remember forever, and we’ll definitely return to Fronto on our next trip to Yucatán."
