   Great all the way around. Were looking for a bright, open, airy space with high quality Mexican food and drinks, and this checked all boxes! Will be back to try other plates and drinks.

   Disappointed overall. Service was poor and food wasn’t nearly as good as past visits. Inconsistent across all of our plates and waitress seemed distracted and inattentive for most of the meal.

   Meh. I've had better Mexican, and I've had worse Mexican. Nothing particularly remarkable about what we ate, but solidly executed. The place was completely dead, which was strange given that The Henry across the breezeway was packed. Also, this is a chain restaurant, which I did not realize before going. Not a bad thing necessarily, but kind of soulless.

   I had a really upsetting experience at Merero’s. I told them I have a severe, life-threatening allergy and clearly explained what I could not have in my food or drink! I was reassured multiple times that the allergen wasn’t in my dish, but it absolutely was, and I had a scary reaction because of it. On top of that, I was charged an extra $10 for no clear reason. Food allergies are serious and should be treated that way. This kind of disregard is dangerous, and I won’t be returning. I hope they take this as a reminder to prioritize customer safety moving forward.

   We went for an early lunch with out of town guests on Cinco de Mayo. The food came quickly but mine was cold and the restaurant was not busy yet. They were focused on preparing for a number of LARGE parties which had the effect of too many servers trying to arrange tables for as many as 16 best we could tell. We ordered margaritas, basic, but asked to add a Grand Marnier floater. We are fairly certain they did add it, but charged us a full price which most restaurants add a smaller price for a simple topping of Grand Marnier. We had a very good experience at the Mesero in Dallas, but have found on two occasions, this one is not up to the level of the Dallas one.

   Service was off. Appetizers came at the same time as the entrees. Also, had asked for a lime with my drink, but the server brought it after my drink was finished. Food was good, but not sure it warrants a second visit.

    Excellent service & food. When the # in our party increased, the staff went out of their way to accommodate our large party
