I went to Noche Mexicana alone as I was solo traveling in Merida, and had a blast. Take an uber to Remate de Pasaje Montejo. I arrive just at 8pm on a Saturday in June and there were already ancianos performing a traditional Mexican folkloric dance. The seats weren't quite full but as the night wore on more and more people filled the seats. I highly recommend trying the marquesitas from the street vendors (this is a traditional crepe-like desert, served with queso or nutella or combinado if you want both. You shouldn't pay more than 30 pesos for 1 combinado.) I also bought magnets and an infant dress for my younger cousin from the vendors. For pricier items, haggling is acceptable. I speak Spanish, so if you speak English expect gringo prices from some of the vendors that don't have items labeled. I recommend going to vendors where prices are labeled to get the best price if you don't speak Spanish -- because they cannot inflate the price for you.

This is a very nice and imposant building. Inside the theatre has also a free art gallery which is a nice thing to see.

BUY TICKETS ONLINE before hand so you can get FRONT ROW seats. For the summer show, the gates open at 8:00 pm (no earlier). You will be given an iPod and you have 1 hour to walk through many of the ruins, which are lit-up, with a guided tour. BRING HEADPHONES (we were on of the only ones able to enjoy this because we had headphones). The show starts at 9:00 pm. The show is in Spanish, but will be translated into many different languages if you have those headphones! ;-) Seeing the ruins at night in contrast with the stars was an unforgettable experience! Made us realize why the Mayans were so obsessed with the sky!

AND what a magnificent theatre, built over a100 years ago, refurbished of course, reminded me of a European Opera House.
8. Tapanco Centro Cultural A.C.

Tapanco is sure to become a point of indispensable reference, distinguishable from all other options for theater in Merida, due to it being centrally located, comfortable, and a place where one can appreciate theatrical experiments conducted by actors and actresses that young people can enjoy, as well; it is a place that presents the same comedy, drama and social content as erotic theater.
