El Mero Mero - Astoria

The food and service were exceptional! The mole chicken was incredible, the filet mignon tacos were delicious, and the spicy beef enchiladas were perfectly seasoned!

The restaurant is smaller inside than it appears in the photos, but it is beautifully designed, clean, and very tidy. The food is absolutely delicious! I can't emphasize enough how fantastic the dishes were! I highly recommend this place!

The staff were wonderful and extremely helpful! Everything we ordered was delicious and cooked fresh.

So my wife and I are always looking for new places to eat. I happened to run into this place by pure accident. Best surprise I could've gotten. We made a reservation for this past Friday night. Let's start with the customer service, absolutely phenomenal. We were actually got caught in traffic and they were super accommodating about pushing the reservation back. We go the the restaurant and it was another great surprise, the place has wonderful mixed vibe of old world decorations with modern feel with the bar and the music. I will say the place isn't huge so if possible I would recommend a reservation. We got the evening started right with a pitcher of white sangria. This was a very light and potent sangria. It was a generous size pitcher, and reasonable price of $26. I'll admit we ended up ordering a second pitcher it was so good. For the food, we ordered the freshly made guacamole and home made chips. The guac was nice and chunky, and great taste. The chips were thin, chruncy and not overly salted. I ordered the shrimp enchiladas and my wife ordered the shrimp quesadilla. We both ordered the Elites de Feria (street corn). The corn was to die for, it had the perfect amount of chilli and the cheese. The quesadilla itself had an authentic corn taste. The shrimp were moist and tender. The enchiladas were authentic and flavorful. If you're looking for authentic food, then this is definitley recommended. While my wife and I were enjoying each other and the food, the staff was super attentive. The bus boy would hover around the place and make sure everyone was taken care of. Our waitress was also super attentive. We ended the evening with a complimentary taste of their homemade tequilla. Let me tell you, it was the smoothest tequilla I've ever had. We walk out of the place absolutely satisfied. This place has made it into our rotation of places we will continue to visit.

Group of us met for lunch they could accommodate 68 people very easily I’m glad I made reservations so that they were prepped the food was good. They make an excellent margarita and have also different flavors besides the classic I would recommend this restaurant highly
