BIRRIA TACOS

We ordered these for the table, but honestly, each of us would have been happy to order our own plate of them… they are THAT good! Crisp on the outside, melt-in-your-mouth goodness on the inside, and a consommé that is literally simmered all day long to ensure maximum piquancy… how could you say no? Don’t go to Mero Mero without ordering the birria tacos!

For his main course, Luis took our server’s recommendation and ordered the pork carnitas quesadilla ($15). Genuinely, we have never seen such a thick quesadilla! Loaded with mouthwateringly juicy shredded pork and a luscious cheese blend, the quesadilla comes with shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, and sour cream. “Oh wow,” Luis remarked upon taking his rst bite, “that’s a GOOD quesadilla! It doesn’t even need the lettuce or sauces. It’s perfectly seasoned on its own.” Luis was so complimentary about his meal, in fact, that Paul felt compelled to steal some of it! He heartily agreed with Luis’ assessment, and added, “It’s the best blend of savory and salty!”

If you’re not a meat eater, then you can de nitely still nd plenty of yummy, lling meals at Mero Mero! For example, the fajitas rice bowl ($16) with vegetables ($2) is a large portion of coriander rice, guajillo black beans, charred onions, red and yellow bell peppers, guacamole, salsa roja, and sour cream topped with corn, sweet potatoes, and zucchini. Colorfully presented, the dish rst dazzles your vision, then astounds your palate as all of the fresh, rustic avors charm you with their vibrancy. I especially loved the addition of the tender roasted chunks of sweet potato because they rounded out the more intense avor pro les of the peppers and onions. I was very happy with the vegetarian rice bowl not only when I was eating it at the restaurant, but also when I was enjoying round 2 of it at midnight.
