   Delicious food and some of the servers were great. Only problem was the bar and kitchen were on completely different schedules. At one point we waited 20 mins for a round of margaritas but in the end they were super nice about it and comped them. Overall worth it

   We love Mermaid Inn. This new offering is great extension of their already successful offering. Our waiter, Jose, made our meal particularly enjoyable. He spoke knowledgeably about the food, made good suggestions and was agreeably attentive.

   Was so excited to try this place, but wow, what a disappointment. The service was horrible. Anytime we wanted something, our waiter was missing or flirting with a nearby table. The food, when we got it, was so mediocre. We ordered shrimp fajitas but all we got were shrimp with no veggies. Would not recommend.

   Amazing food and service - it was my friend’s birthday and they put a candle on our churro plate which was a sweet touch! The spicy cucumber margarita was a standout and so were the pastor tacos. Can’t wait to come back.

   Mermaid Mexicana has a great casual dining atmosphere - the drinks are excellent and the food even better. I will be going there again. Really good value as well!

   Server asked the same questions several times (wasn’t listening to our answers). Food came out with no silverware. Bottle water came out with no glasses. Everything had to be asked for and then it would take a long time to get there. We left after appetizers because we were too frustrated. Tables too close. Couldn’t hear each other and we were 1 foot away.

    Delicious! Very generous portions and great atmosphere. The service was a bit off, our food came out very quickly but I think our waitress was the only waitress working at the time we were there but she was difficult to flag down. Otherwise entirely excellent experience!

    Food and service were excellent. I would highly recommend Mermaid Mexicana. My only issue was the noise level. It was hard to have a conversation. Might be better outdoors, so we will try that the next time we go back.

    I don’t know why they offer 9:30pm reservations if they take last orders before the kitchen closes at 9:45. If we would’ve known this we would’ve reserved elsewhere. We were able to have two drinks before the bar closed. Got our food order in. That means even if we wanted anything else— food, desserts— no go. Disappointing experience. The server was great though about communicating. Probably won’t be back.

    Was excited to try this since I love the Mermaid Inn. The food was really good but the drinks wear mediocre. The service left a little something to desired. I think they need to work out some new restaurant kinks before they find their footing.

    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!!!

    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.
