“ Love everything about El Merendero--the food is fresh, authentic, and the service is wonderful--friendly and caring. It has changed little over the years--and that's a good thing. ”
“ Excellent place! Everything on the menu is fantastic! Menudo on Fri, Sat & Sun. Their beans and rice and hard shell chicken tacos are so delicious. ”
“ Half a panaderia (bakery) and half a restaurant. Parking: there are two parking lots attached to the building that you may need to pay for depending on time and day. Bakery: even at 6pm on a Sunday they had a great variety of pan dulce as well as flan, jello and pastelles. Small jello is $3 and the small tres leches was $3.50 which is not bad at all. The pastries were also very good! Restaurant: the workers here are so so nice. The restaurant itself gives a homey vibe which feels nice and their menu is massive. My bf and I came here for the tortas so I got the millanesa while my bf got the asada. - Milanesa: portion and ratio was really good although I wish there was a little more of a kick to the flavor - Asada: meat didn't really have any seasoning on it at all but everything else was good The green salsa is very good but the red was not our favorite. It had a different taste that we could not figure out. Overall; this place is amazing. I hope to try some other dishes! ”
