Very authentic Mexican food. Staff is extremely friendly, food is delicious. Try the shrimp tacos, you won't be disappointed.

This is by far one of my favorite sea food restaurants in Joliet the service is great, the plates come in a very full portions the price was fear everything taste so fresh of course I loved my michelada first time I drink one I am a wine pink moscato type of girl anyways everything was great. I love the name of the restaurant since my mom is from Puerto Escondido Oaxaca I love the atmosphere too. My husband couldn't even finish his plate it has a lot of sea food. Definitely coming back.

The food is wonderfully authentic. You get huge portions. Service is amazing and the price is more than reasonable. I found my new regular spot for good Mexican food.

I loved it here. Was recommended by husbands coworker and I was very pleased. The shrimp ceviche was delicious and the shrimp tacos were amazing. Definitely will be going back.

Kat G.

Service was fast and friendly by a sweet lady named Elvira. The food was served hot, fresh and scrumptious! Everything from the chips and salsa to the beverages were prepared fresh and tasted DELICIOUS! The prices are very reasonable and affordable. We will definitely be returning and recommending this place to friends and family!

Nachos locos, messy but the best
Mariela S.

Pepe is the owner and the best cook in the house ! The nachos locos are my favorite. Yes there is a waitress at the bar that hasn't moved since she gave us our menu. But the other waitress, Doña Elvira is a sweetheart and very attentive. Great atmosphere and not too busy so there's always a table ready.

Amazing food!!! Absolutely fabulous!!! I ordered the shrimp ceviche and it was so delicious. it was presented so well. Oranges, cucumbers, and avocadoes all around the plate. I ordered "La Playa" skirt steak and shrimp, came with beans, rice, a salad and garlic bread. The flavors were amazing and outta this world!!! The steak was cooked to perfection and the shrimp was so tasty. Not the fanciest decor, it's down right corny but nevermind that, this is my favorite dish now!! I will be going back at least once a week.

Best ceviche I've ever had! Fresh and delicious made to order!

Merichka's Restaurant - Sweetest server ever. Perfectly cooked filet. garlic bread was to die for.

Merichka's Restaurant

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.

Could probably hold a huge wedding or Shower party there. Love the decor and food was great. I think they have a coat check, but I'm not sure. The coats didn't stay well on the chairs. And can't hang your purse on the back either. I ended up putting my purse between my shoes. Had the mimosa flight and was able to try all of their flavored mimosas. They were pretty tart. But I like the strawberry lemon the most. Got the eggs Benedict with the smoked salmon. Came with a side of potatoes and peppers. Then ended with the sticky toffee pudding. Definitely recommend as it melts into your mouth. The waiters were really nice and was able to do split checks with no issues. There are street parking and a small parking lot not far from the restaurant. There were signs on the street that helped guide me to the parking lot.

We didn't book a reservation but we were able to get a seat without any issue. My friends that came here prior say that whenever they booked with the reservation they were able to get a seat upstairs. We weren't dining in, we were only staying for a few drinks but this place was really cozy and the waitress who took care of us throughout our time here was very friendly and social. Great selection of drinks to choose from and there's even non-alcoholic drinks and mocktails as well. It can be a bit pricey coming here as well as a bit tricky trying to find a parking spot but it's a great place to stop at!
