El Merendero is a restaurant with a long-standing reputation, known for its food and connection to the local business community. Customers often praise the friendly staff and the large, delicious portions that are cooked perfectly and served quickly. The restaurant is small and located on Main Street, sometimes appearing closed due to tinted windows, but it remains open and welcoming. Its connection to a bakery offers a variety of fresh, delicious bread and desserts, which many find perfect after a meal. Visitors have noted that the place is clean and a good spot for a late dinner when not busy. While prices are on the higher side, customers appreciate the local support and the quality of the food. Parking can be a challenge, but the overall experience keeps guests returning, with some mentioning that the food never disappoints and hits the spot when hungover. The menudo and burritos receive mixed reviews, and some dishes like green chilaquiles can be spicy or sometimes have order issues.
