Many patrons, including Aaron, rave about the tacos’ genuine taste, praising the white garlic sauce that elevates each bite to new heights.

It's true, this place is a legit taco spot. Extremely local but that's the great part about it. The white garlic sauce takes everything over the top. Add this spot to your taqueria tour of Merida.

Inexpensive and delicious tacos, 4 of us had tacos with 2 cervesa and 2 pop for about 40 cad. Great deal! Loved their garlic sauce, was so delicious! Best taco place we have tried so far. Nothing fancy inside, open air restaurant, true Mexican feel! Open in the evenings. Street parking out front.

Great flavors in everything. Flour tortillas are like mini pita bread but thinner. We ate there 2 nights in a row.

Very good, we don't have these where I am from in California, truly unique. Stick with the Tacos Arabes and order Cebolla asado as well. The salsas are great and the joqoque style yogurt sauce with garlic really makes it. The handmade flour tortillas are delicious and like a perfect blend between Lebanese style pita bread and flour tortillas. Slightly thicker and so soft. A unique taste of cultural history with roots tied to Al pastor and Lebanese immigrants in the Yucatan.

My very favorite place for tacos arabe. The garlic sauce here is amazing and they have options for what you want on your tacos.

Oh my goodness! This place is incredible. We are sitting on the street eating the most delicious tacos and fajitas. Our waiter is from Cuba - tall and handsome! Definitely not a yucateco. The beer is cold, the food is fantastic, and the guy playing the pan pipes is out of this world.
