What Bryan G doesn't like about El Merendero:
The food at this restaurant is decent, the servers are friendly, but the service is quite slow. The prices are very reasonable, making it affordable, but that seems to be the only standout feature. View all feedback. What Linda SGJ likes about El Merendero:
The food at this restaurant is diverse and delicious! The service is friendly and efficient. It's a great spot for a casual first date, a family outing, or a meal with friends. The food has an authentic flavor and doesn't taste like it's from a can. Prices are very reasonable and portions are decent. The atmosphere is chill and comfortable. This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants to visit! View all feedback.
