Sunday in Mérida is a day not to miss. It is a joyous weekly celebration of food, dancing, and culture. Pati starts her day like most Meridians, at the market. After touring around and tasting the best lechon torta (slow cooked pork sandwich) in town, she takes in the sights of the Vaquería dance in the main square.

Mérida en Domingo is incomplete without a family meal. Luckily, friend and Chef Robert Solis of Nectar restaurant in Mérida, invites Pati into his home for a traditional Sunday meal with the whole family.
