Still as great as when Grandpa, original owner, father and Grandpa owned it. I have been going to Merida's since 1982, maybe previously, I would have been too young to know. This restaurant has the best breakfast ever! Tortillas are the "bomb." Get it before this precise area gets blown up with tons of growth similar to the rest of the city.
My daughter said she doesn't want to go grocery shopping ever again. She only wants to go here for every meal "for all of their delicious food". The staff was super sweet to my daughter and the food really was wonderful. We will be regulars.
Still the best authentic Mexican food I’ve had, the menudo is fantastic!! And just minutes from downtown !
Great food always freshly made and large portions. It was busy, so the service could have been better, but overall satisfied. We will be back
Awesome food! The chips could be saltier and the salsa is more mild, but the food is the best!
We had the Merida Special and the flautas. The Merida special was amazing, perfectly marinated!
The flautas were great, definitely coming back!
The frozen margaritas are a good size and yummy!
Came for lunch and tried a few dishes from the menu. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere, very colorful with cool mexican folk art. My dad wasn't very happy with his chorizo plate though.
This was my first visit to Merida, everything was great until I tasted their complimentary sauce. First of all, it was cold, had no taste of fresh peppers or tomatoes. It tasted more like tomato sauce from a can. Otherwise, food and service were great. I enjoyed the food and if I go back I hope the sauce is a little more spicy.
Came here for mother's day and all my years i have never been here! It's truly a hidden gem. Tacos are HUGE! & the Carne Guisada was good. Good homemade tortillas!! Cheap prices but BIG meals!!!
Breakfast -Motulena -tried 1st time. Eggs on Small totilla sorinkled with peas and cheese. Very good. Coffee excellent. Black beans & bacon. Reasonably priced. Not busy but service a little off. Will go back. Picture not as good .
This Mexican eatery was busy this afternoon. I enjoyed a hearty serving of carne guisada that was quite delicious. The meal was complimented with excellent service considering the crowd. I will come back again when I’m in Houston.

Merida is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in East End, which is saying much with all the great Mexican food East End has to offer. Considering they're located on Navigation, their prices are particularly affordable. Aside from the price, what really sets them apart is their all day breakfast. My recommendations are the tortas, which are very big or one of their breakfast items such as the machacado. The flour tortillas are also very good.
Came here yesterday for the first time and Damnnn! I’m glad I did, this place is authentic from the food they serve to the building they’re in! So I was in the mood for barbacoa tacos 🌮 and was not disappointed the flour tortillas were homemade and kind of big so two was good enough for me and the barbacoa was super tinder with really good flavor omg so good and the house salsa was good too not to hot very enjoyable also had a fresh lemonade so refreshing and my girlfriend had the tamale 🫔 plate and I’ll give it give it a 8/10 they give you a healthy portion of food on that plate but the tamales were a bit salty, but not too crazy flavor was definitely there! They have a good amount of parking,restroom looked clean and they also have a bar. So overall come here if you want some really good Mexican food, simple 🤷🏽♂️
