Been coming here for years, would award 100 stars of the website permitted! Hands down, the greatest Menudo in California! Any time I hear someone ask for recommendations on an authentic Mexican restaurant, I always turn them onto this location!
Still one of my favorite work week lunch spots. The service is friendly and efficient, and the food is so tasty. I like their Carne Asada plate, Carnitas, Tortas, and my vegetarian co-workers love their veggie and potato tacos. Their chips and smooth salsa Roja are two of my favorites from any Mexican restaurant! There's an attached bakery which has various Mexican breads and cakes, although there seems to be less of a selection than in years past. Parking is either on the street or at a public lot nearby. I highly recommend you give El Merendero a try.
El Merendero never disappoints! The staff and the food are great! The menudo is exceptional!
Always so AMAZING!! I always get the green chicken enchiladas and they're so good!! My husband LOVES the taco salad. Everything is so fresh and delicious there. We love it!!
Lunch specials, authentic dishes & affordable. The bakery is right in the building. I order my daughter's birthday cakes from them every year . You can order tamales by the dozen or singles during Christmas
