Pork Carnitas Quesadilla

Sometimes, you want to enjoy not only a tasty meal, but also a fun environment. Well, Stuart has a wonderful new restaurant for you to try, wherein you can have both a delicious meal and a festive experience — Mero Mero Mexican Cantina.

e name of the restaurant, “Mero Mero,” comes from a Spanish slang term that loosely translates to “head honcho” or “big boss.” Why? Because the restaurant aims to lead the pack and set the new standard for Mexican cuisine with experimental and elevated versions of beloved classics thoughtfully cra ed in a scratch kitchen!

Indeed, Mero Mero o ers a modernized Mexican dining experience unlike any other in our community. It’s a vibrant, fun, and fresh setting complete with bright, electric color schemes, mixed media murals, and cheery Latin American-inspired music playing in the background… the absolute perfect place to grab a drink and/or delicious meal a er work. A er all, the restaurant boasts a wide-ranging menu, not to mention a full bar and extensive tequila collection that you won’t nd just anywhere!

A great appetizer to start you o is the Taste of Mexico ($15), which comes with bottomless warm tortilla chips and a generous sampling of salsa verde, guacamole, and queso dips. You receive complimentary salsa roja (chunky and addictively refreshing with bursts of heat) and chips already, so this starter gives you the opportunity to try a little bit of everything in terms of sauces/dips.

My favorite of all four options was the queso dip, with its thick, creamy, cheesy spiciness. Abby’s, on the other hand, was the salsa roja because of its “incredibly fresh taste.”

You absolutely, positively, and unquestionably have to order the Birria tacos (3 for $16). Full of extraordinarily tender adobo short rib beef, the tacos boast sweet onions and a rich cheese blend, and are served with a consommé that “is good enough to drink,” declared Abby. I took my rst bite and actually rolled my eyes to heaven, wondering how I could have possibly lived this long without eating these juicy, savory, cheesy avor bombs.
