hdawson Posted July 28, 2008 #2 Share Posted July 28, 2008 A favorite of mine is Portico el Pergrino on Calle 57 between Calles 60 and 62. One particular dish I love is the Pollo Pobil. Seasoned chicken, wrapped in banana leaves and baked. Delish. An old Mayan dish. Not tex-mex and not real spicy although condiments are available. It's a beautiful courtyard restaurant. Another great Mayan dish is Sopa de Lima. Lime soup but in fact the best chicken soup I've ever had. Sorry grandma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic/leelee Posted July 28, 2008 Author #3 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Will we need peso's for Merida or do most places take USD or debit cards??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted July 28, 2008 #4 Share Posted July 28, 2008 USD or CREDIT cards. I can't suggest debit cards anywhere outside the US. Anywhere, not just Mexico. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vic/leelee Posted July 28, 2008 Author #5 Share Posted July 28, 2008 even if it can be used as a Visa Credit(has logo on it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hdawson Posted July 28, 2008 #6 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Yes; even if it says VISA. It is a check card and does not protect you like a credit card. It is access to your bank account. My advice; Only in the US. If you must use your check card, do it at a true bank, but you will get funds in the local currency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
