Huniik

Huniik is a fine-dining restaurant at Calle 60 No. 415-B in the Santa Ana area of Centro, Mérida, in Mexico's Yucatán state. It is led by chef Roberto Solís, one of the best-known figures in contemporary Yucatecan cooking, and holds one Michelin star in the 2026 guide. The kitchen works in the nueva cocina yucateca tradition, taking regional recipes, Maya-rooted ingredients and local techniques and presenting them as a multi-course tasting menu rather than a conventional à la carte meal.

The tasting menu is the centrepiece, with a price of roughly MXN 2,500-2,830 (about USD 143-162) per person before drinks. Dishes listed for the restaurant include ceviche and grilled steak finished with habanero sauce, and the progression of courses is designed to move through the peninsula's flavours: citrus, chile, corn, achiote and smoke. The room is dressy and calm, closer to a special-occasion dinner than a casual meal, and the pace of service is unhurried, so an evening here typically runs for several hours.

Service is dinner only, generally Tuesday to Saturday from 18:00 to 23:00, although one listing shows Monday to Saturday running to midnight, so the schedule should be confirmed when booking. Reservations are required. Tables can be arranged by calling +52 999 912 6244 or through OpenTable, and because the restaurant is small and starred, weekend dates and the winter high season fill well ahead; booking at least two to three weeks in advance is sensible, and longer for peak holiday periods.

Huniik shares its address and phone number with La Barra de Huniik, the corn-focused counter next door, which offers a more informal route into the same kitchen. Both sit beside the Parque de Santa Ana, a short walk from Calle 60's restaurant and bar strip, which makes the area easy to combine with an early evening stroll before dinner.
