Things to do in Merida, Yucatan: The Best Food & Drink

August 27, 2021 Trinity Boughner

The Yucatan capital has both colonial and Mayan treasures to discover. Nearby ruins at Uxmal give some insight into the lives of the predecessors of the conquistadores, who arrived in 1542. Mayan culture is also still evident in Merida's daily life and in the many colorful festivals celebrated here.

Posheria Merida

Visit La Posheria, house of a mayan traditional beverage: Pox Bankilal (pronounced "posh"). This is a drink made out of corn and we offer five flavours: White traditional, black traditional, coffee, coconut, vanilla and cacao. In La Posheria you can also find our coffee, brought directly from the highlands of Chiapas. Come to La Posheria and have a taste of this spiritual journey now in Merida.

The building housing Posheria, located on Paseo de Montejo, is beautiful. It is worth the trip to see the story of growing and harvesting the corn depicted on the walls in the form of a mural. And, if you are lucky enough to meet Julio and have him personally tell you the story behind pox (pronounced posh with a soft, long O) and the Posheria that's an added bonus. He gave us samples of several different flavors of the corn based, alcoholic pox and we had a hard time selecting just one. So we bought two! The Posheria and the concept behind the pox is so unique and excitingly trendy. Do try it!

If you are looking to improve your Spanish and learn about the culture of the Yucatan, this is the school for you! I highly recommend the "experiencias" program for students who have at least an intermediate-advanced level of Spanish. Hiroshi and Nidi were excellent hosts who always made me feel welcome. From the airport pickup to classes, field trips, and arranging my home-stay, they never overlooked any details. Be sure to take the cooking class with Doña Susi - she is a delight! Everyone at Hola Spanish School is very attentive, personable, and a pleasure to learn from.
