    Merida serves delicious authentic Mexican cuisine. The atmosphere is great and the music is good too! Staff is super nice. The owner walked over to ask us if everything was good. We found this place on SHOP LOCAL. Download it and get cash back next time you dine at Merida.

    Stopped in 4/22/24 @11am with my mother, it was my first time visiting. I really wasn't hungry so I ordered 1 taco, the big breakfast taco... I didn't think nothing much of it till it showed up lol. My mother ordered the chicken fajita taco lunch special. All was good and the portions were great. Can't forget the fresh salsa and chips which was still hot when we got it. Thank you for everything. We'll be back for sure.

    Super friendly place with fast and efficient service. The portions were very generous, so much so that we all went home with doggy bags. Specially recommended: alambres al carbon (shish kebab).

    Man, Merida did not disappoint. Walked in with a party of 7 and was seated immediately, no wait time. The first section was full so we had the whole second section to ourselves. Food was good, fast, fresh and plenty to take home. Everyone was full and satisfied. First time visiting and will recommend.
