I must qualify. I was the recipe tester and researcher for Robb Walsh's The Tex-Mex Cookbook and I have traveled extensively in Mexico for 60 years, so my comments are from a different perspective than most. The guacamole was very good and I recommend it. The salsa was unmemorable, tasting more of canned diced tomatoes, and my personal preference would have been for roasted tomatoes and onions and garlic, with salt, vinegar and chiles. The tortilla soup was heavily cumin so if you don't like cumin, this is not for you. The recipe they have chosen is for more of a chicken tortilla mush. But it is not unlike others I have had. Ambiance is nice. Everyone super friendly. Great wall decor. I suspect that the recipes they have chosen are designed for clientele from all over but I would say, "Give your chefs an opportunity to offer something off menu as a special option". Some cookbooks to get ideas from are shown in photos. read more

Weekend in Jackson Hole, WY for an escape from the Phoenix heat. Little did I know that today in Jackson, it is blowing and snowing. I thought shoulder season meant milder temperatures, I was wrong. Half the restaurants here are on hiatus during the winter and spring. The pickens are slim and it took us three tries to find a lunch spot today. Merry Piglets Mexican Grill was not on the list but here we are, hungry. The staff was helpful and quickly seated us. The chips and salsa were tasty and quickly consumed. We placed an order of queso and more chips. The queso sauce was thin and lacked any spice. Three tacos: shrimp, el pastor and carne asada with beans and rice were also ordered. The meats and shrimp were good but scant. The tacos were not much more than meat and some onions. I was not left wanting more or satisfied with our selections. Merry Piglets Mexican Grill fills a need in the beautiful town of Jackson Hole, Wyoming. Of the many Mexican restaurants here, I don't feel the need to recommend or return here. I wish them well and can tell that the locals feel at home at MPMG. read more

This is tourist gringo Mexican food. It's nothing authentic. It's nothing special. I'm guessing the cooks don't even eat this food without serious revisions. There is SO much better Mexican food to be found in the west, and in this town. I'd keep looking around. That said, if all you want is run of the mill Americanized Mexican food, this is fine. Prices are reasonable, food was edible, margaritas were strong. It's on point to just sit down after a day on the mountain and refuel for the next day... perfect place to bring your kids! ...but it's nothing special. I asked for house hot sauce. They didn't have it. What Mexican place doesn't even have a house made spicy salsa or knock your socks off hot sauce in the back? It's fine though. Service was fast even though only 2 people were working the whole restaurant. They share the space/kitchen with a burger place. The shredded beef as a meat option was very good. The big bonus, since I am only giving it 3 stars, is this is an easy affordable place to go out in an otherwise very overpriced town. So I guess I'm glad that it's here! ...but I mean, even good traditional mexican food can be affordable. My suggestion, if management reads this, is to have your cooks add 4-5 "Chef Specials" to the menu that are all things their mothers make. That'd be great. But, again, in this town good clean affordable food is good enough to fill the seats. Enjoy! It's just not what I was expecting. read more

Was kind of busy when we got here so it took a minute for the server to come to our table. But once he did, he was super nice! So just pack some patience if they are busy. It's right on the tourist area of Jackson hole. On to the to the food - we order a taco plate that came with a selection of two of their tacos and chicken fajitas. Not pictured is the queso we had to return as it was almost a brick. No thanks. The rest of the meal was great. If back visiting, I would return. read more

Mary piglet is still one of our family favorites. It's hard to imagine a trip to Jackson without swinging by. The kids menu offer us a good variety for our little ones. The rest of us enjoy ordering off of the main menu. Warm chips and salsa are delivered within seconds of sitting down. The salsa has just the right kick and it warms us up as we wait for our meals. We tend to try a few different things and share. How can you not enjoy all the goodness and such a wonderful Festive environment. read more

Your normal Tex mex food, mediocre at best service. Stood at the front waiting almost 10 minutes for a hostess to come greet us while there were plenty of open tables. We were the only ones up there waiting. Finally get seated. Order, get our food, and then ask for the check. We wait over 10 minutes for our check to be brought to us. read more

Fun, Lively Spot for a Solid Mexican Meal Our teenage daughter was craving Mexican food before we hit the road home, so we stopped at Merry Piglets -- and it turned out to be a nice way to wrap up our time in Jackson. The environment is fun, lively, and relaxed -- great for families or a casual night out. The food was solid overall. My husband enjoyed his Taco Grande with beef -- generous and flavorful. I had the veggie bowl, which was good -- not amazing, but satisfying enough. The steak burrito was just okay. Our server, Sienna, was lovely -- warm, attentive, and made us feel welcome. Prices were reasonable, especially for Jackson. Wish I could give it 3.5 stars -- but rounding up for the great service and fun atmosphere. Overall, it's a dependable spot for casual Mexican food that's easygoing and enjoyable. read more

We stopped by Merry Piglets after walking around Jackson for a few hours. We got there around 4:00 so it was pretty empty. Our server was very attentive. They brought us their free chips and salsa. They also advertise that their food does not contain added seed oil. They fry their own chips each day. Sounds like they use beef tallow. Love that! You don't find many places willing to avoid using seed oils. The portion of the restaurant we sat in had a long skylight above us. Murals on the wall all have pigs in Mexican attire. It's an attractive atmosphere. We ordered the Wild Cowgirl Dip which became a family favorite. We also got the steak burrito, street tacos (kickin chicken and beef burria), and the carne asada burrito bowl. Everything was good. They also make their own sauces. Nice place for a good meal! read more

Not good at all, no flavor. Need better presentation. They didn't tell us they were not serving rice with entree until brought us food and they didn't offer a substitute or discount for not having rice they also weren't inclined to make more rice. Margaritas were way too strong. Overpriced and disappointing. read more

Honestly, was kinda disappointed in this place. My friend and his gf came here a day or two before us and said it was the best Mexican they've had. So of course, I love Mexican food so I gotta try it. I ordered the tacos with brisket in it. The brisket was very dry. It had flavor but it was so dry I needed to drink something immediately after every bite. My friend got the taquitos and I tried it. That was the worst taquitos I have ever had. No taste. Very dry. The queso...now I don't know what that was. It kinda reminds me of the stuff you buy in a jar from the store. Maybe because I'm from the south and we do it different, but this queso was not it. It's really cute inside and the drinks are amazing. The staff was okay. Not the best service, but it could have been worse. read more

My family loves Mexican food, and this one really stacked up! I had a fajita salad, my husband had a steak burrito, my daughter had the tacos, and my son had a birria chimichanga. First, the free chips and salsa were very good. Homemade chips with a very tasty salsa. We also had queso which again was very flavorful. The fajita salad came with lots of grilled vegetables on a nice big salad. I added fajita grilled chicken with that. It was very hearty and I could not finish at all. The kids love anything Birria and the chimichanga and tacos did not disappoint! My husband also thoroughly enjoyed his steak burrito. All the entrées except for my salad came with refried beans and Spanish rice. Our waiter was very attentive and gave good recommendations. While there are a lot of options of restaurants in Jackson, we recommend this one if you are in the mood for Mexican! read more

Merry Piglets Mexican Grill - Merry Piglets Menu! - Mexican Near Me - Jackson, Wyoming

We wanted to take my mother in law out for a good dinner, and she recommended Merry Piglets. I'm a vegetarian, so I always check menus before I go to a new place to make sure I can eat there. I checked online and Merry Piglets looked really good. We headed out. When we walked in, we walked past a sign that said something about beef tallow. I didn't really see it, but when the host sat us and handed us our menus and chips and salsa, I took a close look at the menu: sure enough, down in the bottom corner in small print, there's a little logo that says something to the effect of "We are proud to eliminate seed oils: we fry everything in beef tallow!" Record scratch. We ask someone: is there anything I can eat here? He explains that, well, anything fried will be in beef tallow, but suggested a salad. So we left. Note: the website's menu does not mention anything about this. If it did, we wouldn't have come. They really need to include details like that, that impact common dietary restrictions, more prominently. read more

Great spot for dinner. Our server Ephraim delivered good food! He was very attentive, we will be coming back!

Stopped in for a late lunch on a busy Saturday around noon, and we were so impressed! Despite the crowd, the vibe was great. The decor is clean and has a fun, whimsical feel that makes the place really inviting. Our server was fantastic--friendly and incredibly fast, especially considering how packed it was. Now for the star of the show: the food! We ordered the Carne Asada Plate and it was absolutely delicious. The steak was perfectly marinated, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was flavorful. The sauces that came with it were also incredibly tasty and really complemented the meal. With the great food, speedy service, and cool atmosphere, Merry Piglets has definitely earned a spot as a regular go-to for us. We can't wait to come back! read more

We decided to come eat here on a whim because we were craving something other than Italian or American food. Thankfully this tex-mex came through and hit the spot! The wait was a little long since it was a Saturday (about 45 min) but it was worth it. The waiting area has ironic and comical murals of pigs which was a cute touch. The food was pretty good and came out in a timely manner. It was worth the wait and the prices were very reasonable. The restaurant is a lot bigger than you think it is, at first glance. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for families or even a date. read more

f you want a break from the sea of burgers and fries joints, this is the place. Someone really cares about the food that comes out of the kitchen here. The carne asada was so tender it could have been a filet. Fiesta chicken had a great grilled char. We were sat quickly and the service was attentive. Give it a try to break out of the tourist fare. read more

This spot is located in the downtown area of Jackson. The menu is filled wih a variety of tex-mex dishes from enchiladas to chimichangas, burritos, quesadillas, and taco plates. Servings are huge and well balanced. As soon as you are seated, you are welcomed with a basket of complimentary, freshly made tortilla chips and salsa. We had a group of 6 so we got two baskets. We also decided to get the queso dip to try with it, which was soooo delicious. I couldn't stop myself from doing a large amount of damage to the chips. They aren't that salty and have a perfect warm, crisp. For my entree I got the fish tacos - tempura battered cod with purple cabbage, carrot slaw, mango lime creme, cilantro, and queso fresco on corn tortillas. All the tacos are served with rice and beans as well. Our server was very efficient and helpful. Overall, the vibes inside were very fun too - they had different paintings of pigs all over. Solid place if you're craving tex-mex in Jackson! read more

We had the pleasure of having Jesus as our server, he was wonderful. Merry Piglets is a cute little Mexican restaurant, cute ambiance. We came the first week of December so we literally could just walk in with no wait. I had the ground beef taco salad which was actually pretty good. We seen several people order it as well(must be popular). My husband got the steak and chicken fajitas which he said didn't have much flavor, but they were decent. We ended the meal with fried ice cream and churros which did not disappoint! Would def recommend if looking for Mexican while in Jackson Hole. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE IF YOU ARE A PERSON OF COLOR AND / OR YOU EAT PLANT BASED DIET. Some people in our party are vegetarian and we asked the hostess about plant based options. We were told by her and one of the male servers that they cook everything in beef tallow and nothing is vegetarian at their restaurant. Then he went on saying to go to another place where all the "Mexican people" go and the food is cooked in canola oil. The business falsely advertises on Yelp and other search engines about Vegan/Vegetarian options. read more

We had high hopes, place was super busy. Salsa was terrible (tomato sauce with not much else), so I got a side of pico de gallo, the enchilada was decent but the combo was just ok. We love Mexican food and this just didn't make the mark for us. read more

Craving for some TexMex, so we stopped by here (and it was walking distance from our hotel). We had dinner early, so there was no wait at all. We were seated immediately and the hostess was on top of things. She was welcoming and made sure we were taken care of. There were a lot of murals of pig activities and a lot of decorative stuff around the place. Definitely will keep you busy looking around while waiting for your food. I ordered the trio combo where I was able to try a hard shelled taco, chimichanga, and cheese enchilada. It was definitely a lot of food, but it was delicious. Loved the melted cheese on the beans. My boyfriend had the carne asada and he didn't talk to me for 20 minutes, lol. The portions was for sure generous and I had to eat some of my boyfriend's "sides" - lettuce, cheese, sour cream, guac, salsa etc. I felt bad because there was so much food that we couldn't finish. Overall, the food was good, service was good, and the interior was nice and they made it feel like you're in little Mexico or something. read more

Enjoyed dinner here on a very rainy night last week. The place is really cute & has a glass window roof giving it a " greenhouse vibe". We were seated immediately & brought chips and salsa. Both of us were very hungry and enjoyed our promptly served hot meals. My daughter had the enchilada & relleno plate and said it was delicious. I opted for chicken enchiladas and they were also very good. Bit pricey compared to Mexican restaurants back home in AZ but I guess that's to be expected in Jackson, read more

being from texas, i was hoping for some comfort food coming here - instead i got the driest enchilada known to man and salsa that somehow had no spice to it (seriously, not a single pepper in sight). the chips have no seasoning whatsoever and somehow their rice and beans were both under seasoned and watery. it's edible but do not stop here if you like food. also all the murals felt...

Didn't live the food here sadly. Chips and salsa were fine, but the Chile rellenos were some of my least favorites I have had. They were overcooked so the pepper was total mush and then they were way too smothered so that the breading was also mush, so mostly just a pile of mush. read more

Came here for dinner with my family the other night. Definitely lives up to the Tex Mex status. Wait time wasn't bad, waited less than 5 min for a table. Service was so so. The waiter checked on us occasionally but there was not good communication between the servers. Another one gave us our check and the original came over asking us to pay... The food was so-so. Chips and salsa were standard, nothing to write home about. I had veggie fajitas and wasn't overly thrilled with the veggies. Have never had a Mexican veggie fajita with broccoli and squash in it. Was very bland and the tortillas served with it weren't great. The toppings served on the side were also mediocre. The cheese looked like they bought it from the store. Overall wasn't thrilled with the food. We also were seated in back near the kitchen so it would occasionally get kind of Smokey bc of the fajitas coming out of the kitchen. read more
