We're back at it with a well overdue review of Taqueria El Merendon. We began eating at El Merendon a few months after they opened back in July 2010. It's located in the strip mall across from Cub Foods. There hasn't been a meal we've ordered that we didn't like. The burritos, quesadillas, and the taquitos are awesome. They have a variety of meat to choose from which is seasoned perfectly. The food is always served fresh and the dishes have the right flavor.
Instead of eating at the restaurant, we decided to do carry-out. We ordered two carne molida (ground beef) tacos, an order of Taquitos dorados, and Alambres. The tacos are like Taqueria El Porton. You have your choice of meat. They ask if you want cilantro and onions on the taco. Also, you have to ask for cheese. As for the Taquitos, you will never eat another box of frozen taquitos from the grocery store again. You get 5 taquitos served with sour cream, salsa, dry cheese, lettuce and pico de gallo on the side. I love El Merendon's taquitos. It was the first time either of us tried Alambres. It's grilled steak, bacon (my favorite), bell peppers, onions, and tri cheese blend mixed together, and served with lettuce, sour cream, pico de gallo, and 5-6 corn tortillas on the side. The combination of the meat with the peppers, onions, and cheese is like pure ecstasy. You need a private moment. I kid you not.
In past visits to Taqueria El Merendon, we've tried their burritos (regular size), quesadillas, tortas, and pupusas. The Horchata is always a good choice to drink with any dish. We definitely recommend this place for good authentic Mexican food.
