Taqueria Merlo

Great authentic Mexican food. All the vegetables are super fresh and it shows on their final product. Parking sometimes is a bit of a challenge since the place is always buzzing. Service is fast and food is ready in no time.

The store wasn't spotless and the staff wasn't friendly. The food speaks for itself. I don't love or hate this place. When you look up Mexican restaurant in the dictionary it probably has a picture of this place. It's not nice, quiet, special, or quirky. The place is generic and fine. The lady bussing tables coughed all over us while cleaning the tables around. The day after we all had colds. Even on its best day this place is simply fine.

If you want truly authentic Mexican food this is the place to go. That being said it is located inside of a grocery store, not fancy, you order at a counter and it is cooked up fresh and quickly. It is a limited menu, the cashier speaks fluent English. Take a little stroll around the grocery store it's very interesting. We have traveled extensively through Mexico and found this to be a nice place to have a quick lunch.

I've been eating here for years and of all the places I've traveled and tried Mexican food, this one is one of my favorites. It is 100% my favorite in highlands County! It has a friendly/clean atmosphere. Excellent food! Nice grocery store and customer service. It can be pretty PACKED with costumers at some times during the day but obviously that's because the news is out that this place rocks!
