Ok y’all- I’m giving five stars because I really want to like this new local place. The food was pretty tasty, portions were nice, prices were fair, service was good, and the restaurant was clean. My server Gin was very attentive.
Here is what I want to see improved for the future:
*post the menu on Google, and your socials
*update your menu to include the blackened, grilled shrimp and veggie side dish options that you actually offer. Also the crawfish boil. Your biz name is ‘grill and boil’ but the printed menu shows mostly fried food (It’s 2026 and people are trying to eat healthier).
*consider a smaller plate for the blackened shrimp plate. The portion size was just fine,but it looked a little sad on the big plate.
*the creme brûlée was tasty. The white sauce on top looked unappealing and was too sweet.
*add some type of lighting to the back part of your parking lot, it’s way too dark.

The location is great, located on the water. The food flavor was amazing. We had boudin balls, that came with some sort of sauce, that wasn’t that great. The boudin balls themselves were amazing! The service was amazing! The crawfish had amazing flavor but some were slightly overcooked.

Our waitress was so kind and always checking on us. The food was so delicious. There was 4 in our party and all of us loved the food. A place we would definitely go back to. I would highly recommend trying this place.

We came in a random October Friday night while in town visiting my Mom in-law. We weren’t really hungry just wanted a couple drinks and snacks. They had a band and karaoke both tons of fun! The lone server was attentive kind and excellent, bartender was super friendly and let us taste several beers on tap before ordering. We ended up with a basket of fish and chips that was cooked perfect. The batter was crispy and flaky, the fries were.. fries, if I had to pick one critique it’d be more salt on the fries. We also ordered the calamari and this is top tier. I personally love the tentacles and was pleased with the amount included. I don’t care much for marinara so we dipped in ranch. It was excellent not rubbery at all. The best calamari we’ve had in corpus.

Went in for weekend breakfast, which is served Sat/Sun 10-2. Great breakfast and appreciate the extended breakfast hours on the weekend.
I got the eggs Benedict which was excellent. My kids got a meat and cheese omelet and the breakfast sandwich. Both left full and happy with their choices.
This was our first breakfast with Merida’s, but have had dinner several times here. The tapas are excellent with a wide variety of flavors to find what you like. Highly recommend this gem.

This was the perfect atmosphere for our 40th high school reunion mixer! May and her staff were amazing. Having an indoor/outdoor venue with karaoke and a huge party deck was ideal. We enjoyed the food, the drinks and the Jell-O shots. Everyone had a great time. Thank you for helping make our event memorable!

Visited a week & half after opening. Nice location. Waitress seemed a little overwelmed as she kept forgetting about us. On the fence with food. We had the boudin balls (too small & overcooked), gumbo (ehh) and catfish atchafalaya (fish had a frozen after taste). I’ll definitely give it another go to try other menu items.

Great eatery! The tapas were great. We ordered fried shrimp and they were huge.
Shrimp and Grits, Macaroni and Cheese with Shrimp and Calamari. All very tasty. Great atmosphere.

Loved Merida’s food, they just need more help…
Done plenty of tapas before, know it’s a casual eating experience, and great to have this option on NPI! But, please find more servers!
First, Samantha was great…cheerful, bright, friendly and knowledgeable (5 ). Bar served up a great Latin old-fashioned with Bulleitt and kitchen sent salad/hot tapas quickly, but folks kept coming in and the staff (2 servers/hostesses + 2 bartenders) was overwhelmed.
My Coles de Bruselas Afeitadas (Brussel sprout salad) was fresh and crispy and the Gambas al Ajillo (shrimp in spicy garlic sauce) was wonderful, but didn’t come with the pan rustico listed on the menu (got charged $2 for side bread when requested) which is an absolute must for the wonderful sauce.
Overall a pleasant Dining experience. A new server was being trained while there, but they will need more help, even just to fill water glasses. Menu prices should be able to accommodate more staff.
Gonna give it ONE more try and hope kinks are worked out because food is so good.
Otherwise, just gonna have to plan on a looong Spanish afternoon, which can be sometimes be a challenge, even on the Island
