Reviews
For the area, I definitely recommend. They are still fairly new, so things are a little slower when it gets super busy but the steak nachos were amazing! They seasoned the steak very well. For the tacos, overall great flavor. It was hard to eat since it was a single shell taco, but I have to say their steak taste the best. One thing not pictured is the burrito. We got the shrimp fajita burrito which was good, the tortilla they used tasted amazing but broke easily. Definitely recommend to try this place overall. They also give chips and salsa when dining in! Staff is nice as well.
Super food… The staff welcomes you with warm smiles and the enticing aromas of traditional spices that hint at the culinary journey ahead.
The menu offers an extensive selection of dishes, each with a description that reads like an invitation to explore the rich tapestry of Mexican cuisine. Bravoo!
Have been here once before and liked their food! Wanted to order from them again but won't be returning after this time.
Upon discovering back home that they forgot the sour cream and avocado in my pick-up order, they first tried to tell me that my only option was to go back and pick them up. After asking if they could refund me, they told me to wait a moment, put me on hold for almost 10 mins, and then hung up on me. When I called back, they finally told me DoorDash could refund me. Not a great customer experience.
Food was good otherwise, pretty standard fare. I wouldn't say there's anything that stands out and as someone mentioned in a pervious review, there are many similar restaurants in the area.
Great little authentic Mexican restaurant! Salsa is good, Steak Tacos are good! 4 types of Salsa! Very warm inside on this chilly winter day! No complaints! Will go back and definitely recommend!
Amazing local Mexican place. Food was delicious and the service was very family like. Would highly recommend and we would be definitely be coming back!
I've been looking for a great Carne asada taco ever since I left San Diego. This place has had the best I've had in the area. I liked the specialty taco menu. The staff was super sweet.
Yummy tacos and gorditas. The dessert is to diet a whole day for. Don’t miss this family joint.
La Mera Mera left me with a mixed impression. While the experience was not extraordinary, it wasnt horrible either. The food, while okay, didn't really stand out in a city with a plethora of Mexican restaurants. The flavors were decent, but lacking that wow factor. The service, too, was simply okay – not notably friendly or attentive, but not outright neglectful either.
The ambiance at La Mera Mera was pleasant, with a typical Mexican restaurant decor. The prices were a bit high for Mexican ($94 for family of 4), making it a bit pricy for a casual meal.
Overall, La Mera Mera is a run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurant that offers average food and service. While it may not be the first choice for a special occasion or a memorable dining experience, it could be a decent option if you're just looking for a quick and straightforward meal.
