The Verde Smoked Chicken & Beef with Potatoes tacos are delicious. The other 2 tacos we had (Adobo Lamb & Chorizo Rojo) were just ok. Good but, not something we would order again. The guacamole was very good but needed some seasoning (salt & pepper). We plan to go back for happy hour. I want to try the Chicharrones.

El Mero catered my client appreciation party this past weekend for 50 people and it couldn't have gone better! The food was delivered on time and set up with chaffing trays, making my life much less stressful as I prepared for my guests' arrival. The food was awesome and multiple people asked me who the caterer was. I will definitely be working with them for all of my future events!

The blackened catfish was not one of my favorites but steak and potatoes tacos were! Verde Smoked chicken fire! Bartender Sara was great will come again she was super nice! I wanted burning passion but as a margarita and she made it happen.

Taco Truck:Hands down the best tacos I've ever had. Ordered a brisket taco, steak and potatoes taco, and a fried chicken taco... amazing.
Had several friends post on fb about how good this place is, so decided to go check it out. It’s no wonder they won on Guys Grocery Games recently. Food and service are amazing! Started out with a margarita suggested by Sara, the bartender. Strawberry passion fruit, perfectly balanced with a really nice habanero kick at the finish. Ana, my server, was an absolute delight. Providing timely service and great suggestions for my first visit. Brisket quesadilla- just wow. Then had to try a couple tacos- steak and potatoes, so flavorful! Then my favorite so far - Albondigas & Collards. Absolutely amazing and what a perfect marriage of ingredients from the Deep South and Mexico. Can’t wait to go back and try the fried chicken tacos next

Sarah delivers real dining service. Friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, with perfect timing. The food is perfectly balanced and undeniably delicious. Everything works seamlessly together for an enjoyable experience. This has just become my favorite restaraunt.
I’m a huge Mexican foodie so when I travel I like to try out new places. Man oh mannnn was I surprised when I stepped in this place, food was amazing, but the drinks that Kristin made me was the cherry on top! I highly recommend! I will be returning on any future visits that’s for sure!
El Mero NEVER disappoints, but especially when Kristin is behind the bar!! This place will always have a special place in my heart….and stomach!

Delicious food, great bar, and cool vibes. Whether it’s the restaurant or the truck, El Mero is the best. I love the fried chicken tacos, brisket quesadillas, and their chorizo grits! I definitely recommend El Mero ?
