Eating Like a Local @ Taqueria Merlo Y Tienda Mexicana in Avon Park, Florida

Eric and I asked around for recommendations on a good Mexican Restaurant in the Sebring area.

Everyone we spoke

to recommended

  Taqueria Merlo y

 Tienda Mexicana.

This Mexican restaurant shares its space with a Mexican store that stocks the basics for Mexican cooking and household goods.

All around us people are speaking Spanish.  I was reminded of our visits to Mexican Border Towns and Nicaragua.

The menu includes pictures, which was very helpful.

Eric selected the

Chuleta De Res.

The Onion Smothered T-Bone Steak is flavorful and moist.  The Beans and Rice are the basics of a Mexican meal that Eric loves.  His Corn Tortillas didn't make it into the picture.

My Carne Asada

 includes Onion

 Topped Beef Strips

 with a Salad, Beans,

 Rice & Corn Tortillas.

Everyone we spoke to was right!  Taqueria Merlo y Tienda Mexicana is the place to go for fresh, flavorful Mexican meals in Avon Park.
