First time at Merengue Cafe and I was pleasantly surprised. The stewed pork with rice and beans was hearty and packed with flavor, definitely worth the price. The atmosphere is cozy, perfect for a casual lunch, and the service was surprisingly fast! I didn't have time for dessert, but next visit I’ll make sure to try their coffee, which smelled divine. Just a heads up, they only accept cash, so plan ahead! I’ll definitely return for more comfort food. 😊
