About

Modern chilaquiles with Yucatecan heart · since 2015.

Who we are

A Mérida brand

Chill-Akil was born in 2015 in the Centro Histórico of Mérida with a simple idea: take the chilaquile (a Sunday family dish) and reinvent it with ingredients from the Yucatán Peninsula. Cochinita Pibil, plantain, edam cheese, mild habanero sauce. It's not food from Yucatán; it's food made in Yucatán.

Today we run three locations in the city (Centro, Plaza Luxury in Montebello, and Plaza Pericenter in Caucel) serving chilaquiles to families, travelers and locals who come for breakfast and stay for lunch.

What we care about

Yucatecan heritage

We were born in Mérida in 2015. We took chilaquiles (a Mexican family dish) and reinvented them with ingredients from the Peninsula: cochinita pibil, fried plantain, edam cheese, mild habanero salsa. It isn't food from Yucatán; it's food born of Yucatán.

Consistent quality

The same menu, the same recipes, the same care across all three locations. Our suppliers have been with us since day one. Consistency isn't a slogan · it's how we open every morning.

Yucatecan community

Our teams are from Mérida. Our guests come back · and bring their families. Over 500 Google reviews and a 4.5-star average remind us that flavor matters · but how the table feels matters more.

The voice of those who already came

More than 500 Google reviews with an average of 4.5 stars across our three locations. Warm service, young atmosphere, curated music · and the chilaquiles that got us here.
