Some of THE best tacos I’ve had in Mexico, so much choice and a fantastic price. Staff were very lovely and kind too! We sampled a total of 8 flavours but could have spent all night eating them ! All flavours were tasty and we hope to return one day!

Thank you for a wonderful experience! The woman assisting us was incredibly kind, warm, and patient. She kindly suggested some delicious options for our order and did an excellent job of preparing them. We decided to try horchata, guacamole, and vegan tacos: chaya kabax and guacamole con maiz. The tacos were served with two salsas, a mild and a spicy, and pickled red onion. After spending 2.5 weeks exploring the Yucatan peninsula, this handmade corn tortilla was my favorite I’ve ever had! We returned a few hours later for dinner, as it was our last night in Mexico and knew we had a great experience here.

The food is amazing Yucatán tacos and snacks. The tacos are incredibly flavourful and rich with amazing ingredients. The sikal pak is incredible loaded with lots of delicious ingredients. The tomatoes are charred and gives a delicious smoky flavour with the pumpkin seeds. The ojo rojos are also really good here. The staff are friendly, attentive and not overbearing which I appreciate, it gives a more relaxed atmosphere which I also enjoy and appreciate. I highly recommend taqueria De La Union.

Went back 3 times. This place is hands down my favourite Taqueria in Merida. Everything is delicious. The filling is ample, and the tortillas are nice and thick. For the juicier tacos, a second tortilla would have been nice, but not necessary. Tortas are nice, but the bread needs a slightly heavier crust to stay in tact when it gets moist.

Great meal! We had the grilled onion (delicious!), a cochinita polcan and panucho, a lechon polcan, and a longaniza panucho and all were great. The horchata was nice and cool.

If you are hungry and want some tacos in the centre - this place is brilliant! Perfect service, funny atmosphere. I planned to eat 2-3 tacos. I got 7 in final. 30 pesos each. Don’t miss this place for the night smacks…

Let’s put it this way: it was so good, I had to reorder the Polcan again (even though the tacos and especially the tortilla itself, was out of this world) Amazing. Authentic. Tasty.
