El Mero Mero stands as a testament to the power of family, determination, and fate. Hailing from Chila de la Sal, Puebla, Eliseo Nava brings over two decades of experience from working in Spanish restaurants, a journey that seemed, to him, unlikely to intersect with the opening of a Mexican restaurant. Yet, with the unwavering support and expertise of his wife Maria, Eliseo embarked on a transformative journey into El Mero Mero. The One.
Initially envisioning his locale as a deli offering hot food, Eliseo found himself facing a daunting challenge in navigating the intricacies of Mexican restaurant entrepreneurship. It was Maria who became his guiding light, sharing her knowledge on masa for quesadillas, preparing chile rellenos, and making all the salsas you see on their menu. With Eliseo's determination and Maria's culinary prowess, El Mero Mero began to blossom.
Their journey was one of relentless dedication, with Eliseo and Maria tirelessly pouring their energy into the kitchen, often working from dawn till dusk without respite. As the business gained momentum, their children joined the fray, seamlessly integrating into both kitchen and front-of-house operations, embodying the essence of familial collaboration and perseverance.
At El Mero Mero, every dish reflects Maria's innate motherly touch, evoking a sense of warmth and familiarity that transcends dining. Whether indulging in the delectably sweet mole poblano adorned with roasted sesame seeds or tasty chipotle wings, patrons are greeted with open arms and genuine hospitality.
Beyond its culinary delights, El Mero Mero is a sanctuary where familial love permeates the air, creating an atmosphere that feels unmistakably like home. With each visit, guests become part of the extended family, welcomed with open arms and invited to experience the true essence of Puebla York.
