Mid afternoon lunch was relaxing and delicious. Excellent service. Lobster bisque in small bread bowl was excellent!! Grilled fish was perfecto! Only negative is entry is by long set of steps. The staff helped my husband up and down the steps….very kind!

This was my favorite restaurant of all the ones we visited in Merida. The service was great. The food was delicious and one step above other restaurants. The garden room we were in was quirky but beautiful. (There is another more formal dining room) Very...relaxed atmosphere but top notch service. I am a vegetarian so sometimes it can be hard to find really GOOD experiences. I ordered roasted cauliflower as an appetizer and the whole family enjoyed it. For an entree I had roasted vegetables with garlic mashed potatoes. Delicious.More

We were on Pamplona by accident because the restaurant downstairs was closed, think God. We ordered lobster with steak for under $20USD and everything was promising. After watching some videos of the best bands on the flat screens and enyoing some good drinks the dishes...came to the table and they delivered!!! The portion was vast and everything was delicious. After finishing we asked for a cocktail and offered some great mixology. The bill was cheap and we left the place drunk and satisfied. The perfect night at the perfect place.More

We never liked the decor, nor the darkness but we returned because of the food and the service. The food continues to be good but the service was awful. Also one of our side dishes, baked potato, was cold probably due to the server's fault.

With a fresh environment, suitable for both young and old adults, the place has one of the largest spirits collection in the city. The food is great, servings are large and the waiters excel to make you spend a great time. One of the best...places I have had the opportunity to visit and, definitely recommendable.More

Pamplona serves good quality grilled steaks at reasonable prices. The special fillet (not on the menu) is very tender and juicy, good flavor. Starters are really good too. Decor and lighting are all wrong.

Have drinks outside on the second story balcony, then go inside this beautiful place to enjoy the steak and atmosphere. The service is A+ and the prices are fair. Its a little more than casual dress. Lots of pretty people here. I had the filet...and it was perfect. My friend had the special, a rib eye, and didn't like the texture. Everyone else loved their food and drinks. Dessert was awesome.More

The only thing we didn't like was the darkness and decor. It definitely is worth it to overlook the gloomy ambiance because of the food and service.

It was 2 couples. The atmosphere and ambience was fine for us. Lots of big screen TV's with concerts from the 80' and 90's so I personally loved it. The Wine was good, and the steak was average or a little above at best.

I'm not sure of the street, but we ate at the one near City Centre Plaza. We arrived and were quickly greeted and seated. The entire restaurant is nicely decorated with extremely comfortable chairs (sooo important)...my only question is why they chose to have rap/hip...hop music playing on tvs's all around the resto. So while I was enjoying my delicious meal, my boyfriend and I were watching half naked women dance on the tv's. Totally killed the mood. Doesn't suit the vibe of the restaurant at all. We ordered the beef carpaccio and lobster soup. Both were delicious. We both had steaks, rib eye and "heart" steak. AMAZING! Very good considering the price you pay. I've had more expensive steaks in the past and not nearly as good as here. Will definitely be back (but hope they rethink the tv music video idea) :)More

When we arrived, they immediately serve fried plantain chips with three dipping sauces. These sauces are amazing. We keep dipping into it. The steak was great as people recommended. I chose mixed vege and baked onion to be the sides. Onion is baked with lemon...drizzle on it. It was delicious that way. Perfect balance to go well with my perfect rib eye. Oh, at the end the waiter gave us a big cup of the sauce we like to go. Very nice of them.More

The food was ok, we came back twice because we found it to be a good value. But they are cramming too many tables into this place and we could not help but to be witness to a fight at the adjacent table during our...last meal there. It was most upsetting and unpleasant, and the people couldn't care less that they were disturbing their neighbors. Also, way too many big TVs in a relatively small and intimate place. This kinda ruined it for us and we won't return. Were they to take out tables and TVs it'd be a lot more pleasant.More
