Fodor's Expert Review Pola

This little gelato shop in the heart of the historic center has significantly raised the caliber of Mérida's ice-cream offerings. The flavors on any given day vary, but you can typically expect somewhere between five and ten sorbets and the same number of gelato flavors. You can count on some classics, like chocolate and chocolate chip, but most of the flavors are inspired by the region, its cuisine, and its produce—chocolate with chiles, flan, pineapple with chaya, and lemon with rosemary are a few of the unexpected, though always delicious, options you might find. If it's not too hot, quickly make your way to Parque Santa Lucia (a block away) and enjoy your sorbet or gelato there.
