El Merendero is a cozy restaurant serving authentic Mexican cuisine. The menu offers a variety of options, including chimichangas, tacos, and burritos. The rice and beans are highly praised, with some customers raving about the best refried beans they've had in town, and the rice and beans are worth the visit. The shrimp Chimicanga is huge and flavorful, and the shrimp Quesadilla is also big and tasty. The chips with homemade tortillas, salsa, and pico de gallo are really good. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the prices are reasonable. For those looking for a hearty meal, the Monday lunch special, featuring three tacos, is a great option. The restaurant also offers a range of appetizers. Overall, El Merendero provides a warm and welcoming dining experience.
