Best authentic Mexican food I have ever had in my life. I love coming here. The food is amazing, the staff are friendly and efficient. I also love the ambiance of this place. I highly recommend basically everything on their menu.
My favorites are the grilled squid, camarones on the skillet, the skirt steak on the skillet, and the chilaquiles, but everything else is amazing! Packed with flavor and smells great! You will not regret it.

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was incredibly tasty and perfectly portioned. The steak and filet mignon tacos were outstanding — full of flavor and cooked to perfection. The rice and beans were unbelievably good, probably some of the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food!

I’ve been coming here for years. Since the beginning I can say, the food is delicious and authentic, the drinks are strong and the staff is as friendly as you will ever meet.
I highly recommend. Some favorites we get are the guac, the squid appetizer (incredibly flavorful) the fajitas, the chilaquiles and the chorizo.

Hands down my favorite Mexican restaurant in Queens, I’ve been going here for years, celebrated birthdays and numerous life special events here. My favorite dish is the quesadilla de cecina, the tortillas taste so fresh/great distribution of cheese and meat. Honorable mentions are the tostadas and sopecitos. The drinks are phenomenal, especially their selection of flavors for frozen margaritas. Service is immaculate – I called ahead last night (Valentine’s Day) to see if they could accommodate my partner and I last minute, and they saved me a table.

Dined here on a Sunday early afternoon. We got chicken with mole poblano and grilled zucchini flower taco and both were fantastic. The mole had such depth of flavor so we scraped the dish clean The service was also professional and friendly too. Would love to come back to try their other dishes too.

El Mero Mero is the best! They never disappoint. My family and I are from Mexico and this is authentic as it gets.
Even my Colombian husband loves this place and my mother in law who is a very picky eater. The costillas en verdolagas, the enchiladas, and rajas are all delicious. The drinks are absolutely delicious too!
The tamarind margarita, and hibiscus margarita are the best we have ever tried (and we’ve had margaritas in Mexico).
The staff is also attentive, genuine, and very professional. They always make you feel very welcomed. My family and I moved to NJ but we still travel to Queens just for El Mero Mero because the food and drinks are that good! This place is our favorite Mexican restaurant in all of NY and NJ. We have been coming here for years and will continue to do so. If there’s one restaurant you have to try at least once in your life it’s El Mero Mero.

Ever since El Mariachi closed, I have been looking for a New Mexican place. Tried a few, this is the best I’ve found. Food is always good. I typically order Enchiladas Verde with Chicken, and my partner usually orders Chile relleno. We’ve yet to be disappointed. Only caveat on my review is if you decide to order their street corn, it’s better to do that in person they haven’t traveled well for us in the steamy delivery bags.

Great food. Service was top notch. Might be our new regular spot when coming by to see a movie at the local theater. Drinks were also fantastic.
