Casa Merlos - Miguel Hidalgo

It is our second visit after years and it seems that the restaurant keeps the same very good level. the service is a bit rough, but the food is delicious, taste their sancarron pepian or delicious filled chili: chiles mecos. all homemade style. be willing to pay cash.

Moré 15 years ago I visited this place and the quality and taste is amazing. the impressive thing at this restaurant is so good that they can afford the luxury of opening 4 days in the week of 1-6 clock and can only accept cash. do they not want to stay on? do that. the chalupas are a must....greasy, crisp, but excellent in taste. the molecular and the suppe should only die. There's nothing here.

One of the well kept secrets in the city. chalupas, chiles mecos and red or green molecular! they will never forget this place!

Merlos is a place of tradition in Mexico City, the restaurant is pretty, the people are welcoming and eating is the best they have tried! casablanca merlos for their quality and amazing service!

Endearing little place with simple yet representative decoration, greeted by a smile and a home-like feel. It was hard to choose from the menu, it all seemed delicious. This restaurant is a proud representative of Poblano cuisine (from the neighboring state of Puebla), which is...one of Mexico's most diverse and rich gastronomy, therefore it is no easy task to be recognized at the top. However this restaurant delivers in every single dish a combination of ancestry, love, tradition, full flavors, old spices, wisdom and delight. Presentation is simple, like at home, adhoc with the place and the Talavera pottery plates (typical form Puebla as well) it is presented on. Very much worth a visit for a delicious lunch and a couple of tequilas with a great conversation (it closes at 6pm every day and opens only from thursday to sunday). Is outside the beaten path, take an Uber or use Waze to get there. Do keep in mind they ONLY accept cash, no credit cards of any kind. However, prices are more than reasonable so you don't have to take lots of it.
