A fantastic reason to get out of the city is La Casa de Los Lotos Comida Tailandesa! Located in Baca, once you have tried their food, you will wish they were in your neighborhood. I have to say, it was an incredible and tasteful experience- I had the best Thai meal ever!

The menu is traditional with several classics, and vegetarian options. Spring rolls are a great way to start, with a crunchy golden exterior and a honeyed spicy sauce. My favourite entrée is the Khao Pad Sapparot, which is basically fried rice mixed with pineapple, chicken and veggies served up in a pineapple shell.

If you’re in the area and you’re to try something new, you should definitely check out La Casa de Los Lotos Comida Tailandesa. It’s a restaurant with authentic Thai food located in the charming town of Baca, just 40 minutes’ drive from Mérida. This is such a peaceful place and after your meal you must walk through the stunning watery gardens, and crystal wall…don’t be coy about feeding the Koi! Dispensers are in the restaurant.
