   This is the new Mexican version of Mermaid Inn. As such, there are a number of nods to local seafood like Fluke Aguachile, which was delicious and packed with flavorful heat. But the bulk of the menu is as promised. We had Carne Asada and Polle Asada, the latter came with a delicious Mole. The tortillas were too oily and inedible. That was our only complaint. The drinks were delicious.

   For $15 the cocktails are on the small size. The outdoor seating is very basic for what is a relatively expensive restaurant; could be made more appealing.

   As this new addition from the Mermaid Inn owners just opened in the past two weeks, we decided to reserve an inside high-top table at 5 pm on a rainy Friday evening to take advantage of the happy hour (4:30-6:30 pm) at this Mexican-themed location. We stuck to the happy hour drinks and menu and really enjoyed the Tacos de Carnitas (slow-braised pork ) and Casadillas de Pollo. Kudos to our knowledgable and friendly waiter Jose too. We'll be back.

   This is an excellent addition to the neighborhood. The food and drinks were delicious. We were there for the end of Happy Hour and will definitely go back. We were celebrating our friend’s birthday and they brought us the most AMAZING churros. We sat outside so I can’t say what the noise level was like inside.

   Incredible! All the food is so fresh! Some of the best margaritas I’ve had (and i drink more margaritas than I’d like to share). The tacos were fantastic. I tried 4 different types: all great! Now about the establishment: My wife and I fell in love at the Mermaid Oyster bar 9 years ago and became steady customers, spending birthdays and many dates there. We LOVE oysters. And when we’re not eating seafood we love Mexican. We were so excited to hear the creators of our favorite oyster spot were expanding. We had high expectations and they did NOT disappoint. I’m Hispanic and my wife is from Texas, so we’re tough judges of good Mexican and THIS was fantastic. The service was incredible. I’m happy to say this was the first of many visits. I’ll be there again soon (hopefully for happy hour).

   We had a great time! They just opened and really think their menu is small enough to be able to make a quick decision but has a great uniqueness and diversity to it that everyone can find something they’ll enjoy. We got the enchiladas, shrimp tacos, pork tacos, mushroom app and guac to split. Delicious!!!

    We had a delicious meal with wonderful service. Lovely space and the food was both well-presented and very tasty. Enjoyed the salsas and guac with chips as well as tacos and camerones. The chili consommé for the birria tacos was fabulous. Great addition to the Mermaid group.

    If it has Mermaid attached to it, it’s gotta be a hit! Food and service was top notch! Presentation was excellent.

    Extremely disappointing food and service. Guacamole to chips ratio was bizarre, tacos were dry, and drinks were subpar at best. Had to ask multiple times for water and food took over an hour. So terribly disappointing.

    I love this place. It's exactly like the seafood equivalent but mexican. I loved the decor and the music was good. Loved my margarita, chips and guac (loved extra chips too) and my birria tacos. I will definitely be back soon!

    Gracious help but tasteless food. The guacamole had good homemade chips but the guac was totally tasteless. No salt , hot pepper, cilantro, or lime. Just a mash. The main course of enchiladas was merely warm and lacked any Mexican seasoning. It had no sides--like rice or beans or anything to make it interesting. Carne assada, a nice size piece of skirt steak tasted like stew meat and had a few pieces of dry tomatoes. It had some tortillas. Mains were $28-30.00 No bargain! The place needs a chef who believes in more vigorous seasoning and a more exciting menu.
