El Merendero - El Centro (CA)

5 /5 Cody Fullmer: We loved the tacos de guisado. I wasn’t familiar with the guisado style but it’s apparently different kinds of fillings on a bigger tortilla (we chose flour and it was a really good choice, they seemed homemade and fresh). My son loved the birria (even with the goat in it) and the pork with cacti. My daughter loved the machaca and the bean and cheese.

4 /5 Ale Lagarda: Good menu and good service. Tacos are decent. Food prepared on time.

2 /5 Jennifer Lopez: Came in starving so we ate. I ordered huevos rancheros and it was not similar to the El Menendero in Pomona, Ca. I thought they were the same company. It was a bit expensive and the quality of food wasnt that great and the portions small. The huevos rancheros had salsa guisada not ranchera salsa. The menudo was watery and not too flavorful. The torta was okay but the lettuce tasted old. I would skip this place if I came here again... The only thing I can say is the dining room was clean.

1 /5 Alvarados: Personally, the food from this place sucks. $6 for a skimpy quesabirria taco is absolutely ridiculous. It was more like a just birria taco, seems like they are so stingy with the cheese. Not to mention the Birria meat lacks taste and seasoning. I ENDED up paying $18 for skimpy tacos. Definitely Definitely wont be going back EVER. THEY ARE SCAMMING PEOPLE WHO ARE NEW IMO.

1 /5 Anahi Arvizu: Just no this place is pricey and food is not even that good. They are very skimpy on the food I personally ordered a medium of birria the bowl was so small even my family asked if I ordered the small size. They treat their employees wrong, they have a horrible attitude, and they are very dirty.
