    What a wonderful meal. Been here 2x now and will return. Service was amazing. Chips and salsa were excellent. Main courses, which were ceviche and the steak and shrimp were unbelievable. Drinks are a little pricey, but the restaurant was worth it. We will be back

    Just what Joliet needs! I found it to be a fun and good vibes. Our server Daniella was very attentive and helpful. The girl who dropped off the chips and salsa was great as well. I never felt forgotten about. We had the pineapple jalapeño mezcal which was good, it was a bit Smokey flavor for us, the primavera was very good! For dinner we had the la Catrina and bistec de lomo I thought the steak had a perfect flavor and cooked just right. My wife enjoyed de lomo. The only thing we went crazy about was the beans. But beans are always a subjective choice. Well done staff and owners. Keep up the good work! Maybe have some more menus, the website is hard to read.

    Ceviche

    We're visiting from Anaheim, California, and our family lives here in Joliet. We kind of just picked this place on the spot because the original spot we were thinking of was closing when we were on our way. Honestly, I'm glad we chose this one instead. We started with the queso fundido and las coloraditas quesadillas, and they were both really good! Out of the two, I liked the las coloraditas quesadillas more, but the queso fundido was tasty too. My son had the kids mac and cheese, and he obviously really liked it because he finished it. I had the Ceviche Primavera, and it was good, but I probably wouldn't order it again because it was a bit on the sweet side, which isn't really my thing. Still, I finished it. We also shared the Toro with six shots of our choice. We definitely want to come back to try more stuff. The staff was super friendly and professional--no complaints there. I loved the vibe and how everything looked.

    Great food, excellent soup with usually three Different…read morekinds homemade, great draft beers And excellent service.

    My husband found this old school restaurant that was established in 1933 with high Google ratings…read morethat was conveniently located on the way to the Rialto Theatre where we were headed for a concert. So we tried it. Merichka's serves good food with good service in a non-fancy kind of restaurant. It has various dining areas and a small bar. The room we sat in was nondescript with not one decoration on the walls. The multiple ceiling fans were running so I froze all throughout dinner. I didn't get our server's name, but she provided good service and was engaging. She always came back to check on us. The other staff we encountered was thorough in delivering food and removing dirty plates. We started with cocktails, a bourbon neat for him and an old-fashioned for me. My husband enjoyed his bourbon, however my old-fashioned was Wisconsin style which I didn't enjoy. We shared the mushrooms as a starter - I have to admit they were perfection! The portion was generous and the crust was perfectly crispy without being greasy. I think we missed the boat, though, because we didn't order the onion rings, which looked sensational. Dinners come with a relish tray and a couple sides. The relish tray had cottage cheese, a bean salad and a pasta salad. Again, generous in size. My hubby had a steak with fried shrimp for dinner and his sides were a salad and twice baked potato. He ordered the steak rare because he didn't trust that it would be cooked to medium rare. He was right to go rare because it came out a little pink. I opted for the baked cod for dinner with a salad and twice baked potato. My cod was 12oz and was moist and flaky. I didn't even put a dent in my dinner because I was full from the mushrooms and relish tray. We ended up bringing most of our entrees home. I'm glad we tried this restaurant out, but honestly even though the food was decent, I didn't enjoy the bare bones atmosphere and being uncomfortable throughout dinner because the fans were on. If you like a supper club without the frills, I think you would like this place.
