Exceptional food, at reasonable prices. Perhaps the best food north of the US border.

My favourite tacos in Edmonton. You have to get the platter! We like to go on hot summer evenings and sit in the full sun patio. Feels like we are on vacay.

Great place, but strange location. It's just off the industrial area in the northwest. You'd never know it's there unless you were actually looking for it. It's got a huge patio outside, but inside is small yet very cute. Food was excellent and service was quick. Great specials too. Would come back with a smaller group as there are few tables inside.

Super cute taco place. Service was fast and friendly. Prices were reasonable and food was great. Best tacos we’ve had in awhile (we ordered the Birria tacos and the shrimp tacos).

We had the beef tacos that were amazing (10/10), the shrimp pineapple tacos were also good (8/10) and the chicken taco platter (8/10). Would come back for beef tacos

We were very excited to try this restaurant after hearing about them on Druken Mukbang’s Tiktok. We were seated at a table almost right away. She asked for orders after a couple minutes. Which was completely ok we just were not ready to order the two mains. We put the appetizer of tortilla chips and pico de gallo in and our kids meals. Our server did not let us know that the kids pops were not included. $14 for a kids meal and pop isn’t included. So $18 for each kids meal? Service was very slow. We got our chips and salsa. It was absolutely delicious and we ordered some more pico de gallo because we found there wasn’t enough, at the same time we ordered the main meals for my husband and I. When the main meals came out, is when the pico de gallo came out. I think that she could’ve asked the kitchen for the pico de gallo to come out right away so that we could’ve finished up our chips and salsa. Shouldn’t have to wait 15 minutes to get more pico de gallo. The food was absolutely delicious. The only thing I would say was the tortilla shells that go with the tacos. They crumble pretty easily so you have to eat them very quickly. I had a guava margarita and it was absolutely wonderful. I was disappointed with the service. I think it’s a little silly that pop isn’t included under the kids meals. Our server Ailani came around a handful of times over the course of just about two hours. Many people kept coming up to the bar and coming from outside to get their bill / more drinks because it seemed like the service was so slow. When we got our tacos she was about to walk away. We had to ask her which tacos were which, which I feel like when you get a platter of 10 I shouldn’t have to ask. You should explain what’s what. When we were all done, we waited for a bit and she never came back. So I assumed with this restaurant you just go up to the till to pay. I asked if that was the case when I went up to the table and they said oh no sorry. At the end, I asked for a cake to go with some ice cream and as as I was waiting after I had paid for it they said oh well we don’t actually have the cake…. So then they had to refund it, which it was completely fine, but it was just the icing on the cake. I was just let down. I used to work as a server and we were constantly checking on our tables and communicating and making sure that the people that came had a wonderful experience. For over $140 I expect a better experience.

Don’t get the churros fro the taco truck. Just got 2 orders and they were rock hard. Gross and way over priced.

Singular complaint; There's not enough space for the love El Mero Mero deserves. Small seating area, however the tables with umbrellas outside are good seating as well. Worth the wait if it's busy.

The birria is euphoric, don't think I've eaten anything from El Mero Mero that I haven't enjoyed. Highly recommend!

Rating Redo. Returning to re-evaluate to see the new updates of the restaurant.
Food is great. Wish they had Embanadas. That would push this review to a 5 star review.

Used them for cat print our family reunion of 50 people. Everything was great and the staff were very friendly. Price came out to about $15 per person with lots of left overs.
