Dined at La Pigua on May 29th. My wife and I have been Merida's residents for the last two years. We've tried just about every restaurant in Merida but we had not had the opportunity to try La Pigua. Most our friends raved about the food so we decided to try it on a week day figuring it would be... More

Fresh seafood restaurant in Merida, Fiesta Americana area. Reasonably priced and nice atmosphere. Friendly and attentive service. You can't go wrong with this restaurant. There also seemed to be a large number of local guests, supporting the impression of an honest place with good service. They are only open during the day! (close at aprox. 18h)

La Pigua was recommended by a local and was far superior to the seafood restaurant recommended in the mainstream guidebook. The octopus salad was superb.

This is a great spot, especially for seafood salads and octopus. They receive the catch in the pre-dawn hours, and by the time the afternoon rolls around, they are usually sold out.

Very good food but no atmosphere or other diners for dinner. Probably a better lunch spot. Good service.

A friend of mine who lives in Merida told me to go to La Pigua. It was delicious! Although it is very close to hotels there were mostly people from Merida (kind of business people). A most go IMHO.

Nice clean restaurant. Excellent service. Huge coconut shrimp. But the entree is served like a shrimp cocktail with no sides, so you need to order those extra if you want. Great calamari appetizer.

I have ordered coconut shrimp many times, as we live at a beach in the USA. These were the ONLY big, fresh, delicious coconut shrimp I have ever eaten....Then, I had a green salad with shrimp. There must have been 3 dozen shrimp on top of the salad!! The best!!

Had just arrived and staying about a block away from this place - when we asked for a good restaurant we were directed here - FANTASTIC! The Sir Francis Drake - half portion and a fish special of the day was wonderful. Service and price a nice welcome to the city!
