El Mero Taco — Restaurant in Memphis

We love El Mero Taco! They have so many incredible Vegetarian options! The Corn Ribs are insanely good and so creative. I crave them constantly and find I have to visit at least once a week to get a Corn Rib craving fix. The Cauliflower Tacos and Zucchini Tacos are our favorite Veggie Tacos in the city. They've also been kind enough to go off menu and make us an amazing Black Bean and Potato Taco. Their Quesadillas are incredibly delicious, super filling, and can truly be a meal on it's own. The Smoked Poblano Cheesey Grits are another must have item and I love they offer them all day now. On Saturdays, they have a fantastic Brunch. Their Cocktails always impress us, but I recently switched to Mocktails and discovered their Mockarita... Sooo good! It was nice to have a fancy drink and be a part of the party without the alcohol. I really love their ability to accommodate different dietary restrictions and lifestyles. They make everything in house from their own recipes, so they know what is in their food. As a person with food allergies, it is such a relief to eat with confidence because they always know the ingredients and steer me down the best path when ordering. My only request for them is to bring back the Fried Whole Pod Okra from a few years ago. I still crave it and no one else has...

My first time trying this restaurant and I was excited. I chose today due to “no wait” no rush etc. we go in the lady behind the bar finally greet us. She was talking the entire time talking to a gentleman sitting at the bar. She never asked us for help with the menu or walk us through the appropriate steps. Finally, she asked are we ready to order. We ordered our food. We received our food it was missing items, she wasn’t engaging with us at any point. After I received my drink, it was incorrect. I politely asked the owner to remake the drink due to the rudeness of the mixologist. We also had to reorder our food because she was missing things. If she hadn’t been talking we would’ve received what we needed. We received no silverware or napkins. I spoke with the owner and he made sure we received silverware and I retrieved napkins from an outside table. The owner was easy to speak with. I rarely rarely write reviews but this was one I needed too! Now the food is delicious. Portion size could be better and drink portions could be better. But the customer service needs much much work

Ohh and I left my drink. Because the salt was already in the margarita. She just poured it back in the glass and put sugar on the rim....

My bf and I came here for the first time and were very disappointed in the entire experience. When we walked in we weren't sure where to go and t he lady behind the bar never said a word or directed us to the cash register in the back. The cashier was even less helpful. Never said a word, even after telling her this was our first time here. We finally placed our order and it totaled $50. We waited about 25 minutes for our food, even though it was only about 10 customers total in the place. All of our food was COLD, and half of our order was missing. We had to run the cashier down to ask about the rest of our food and she agreed to check on it. She goes to the back and comes out and doesn't update us for another 3 mins.

We had the shrimp tacos, catfish taco, vegan taco and the catfish quesadilla and all of it was BLAND. NO FLAVOR. The worst tacos I've ever had in my life. I also ordered the churros with caramel sauce and I don't know what in the world kind of caramel that was but it tasted like water sauce. Horrible. Needless to say, the whole experience from the staff to the food to the dessert was bad. A total waste of time and money. Very...
