El Merendero is a gem for anyone craving authentic Mexican food in Tucson! 🌮

The first thing that caught my eye was the extensive selection of hot sauces at our table - everything from mild to extra hot! I started with warm tortilla chips and salsa while my wife dove into the incredible Cameron Taco Salad, loaded with marinated shrimp and served in a crispy tortilla bowl. I couldn't resist the Borchetta, skewers of shrimp, bacon, and veggies - it was heavenly!

The service was attentive yet laid-back, making it feel like a home away from home. I can’t wait to go back! 🌶️✨
