    The Frumunder burger(two beef patties plus chopped brisket and two kinds of gooey melted cheese) and the brisket cheese fries!  MMMMMMMM‼
    Dave M.

    You have to be looking for this place! It is well worth stopping in! Come early, it opens at noon and there was already a line. They definitely feed you well, if you leave hungry it's because you wanted to.

    Chili cheese, fries, and the cup

    Everything was absolutely delicious! From the moment I opened the box, I could tell this was gonna hit different and it DID. The loaded fries were cheesy, meaty, and full of flavor. Portions were generous and the food tasted fresh and homemade. You can tell the people behind this spot care about what they're serving. This is the kind of place that deserves WAY more attention. If you're in Corpus Christi and haven't tried El Vago yet, you're missing out! Flavor 10/10 Quality 10/10 Satisfaction 10/10 I'll definitely be back. Highly recommend!

    Honey bun burger
    Monica M.

    A must try! We arrived literally 1 minute after they opened and there was already a line so I knew the food was going to be good! The line went by quick. The staff was friendly. The food is made fresh and came out in a timely manner. They have picnic tables that are covered so you can either sit there or take your order to go. I ordered the honey bun burger and figured I would either love it or hate it...I loved it! It was the perfect combination of sweet, salty and the patty was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be back!

    Brisket plate. Go get some!!!

    So we picked up some good food based on reviews. I had the brisket plate with the fixings. Beans rice potatoes salad. Beans are tasty, rice is incredible, potato salad is excellent... Oh my So so tender n tasty brisket. Hubs had the hamburger says it was goo. The fries batter is yum yum. Prices are not bad. Portions are decent This will be my new BBQ go to Place. Highly recommend. Great speedy service too

    Burgers are good. Nice size portions. The brisket sandwich was ok. It was a little on the dry side. Needed a bit more barbecue sauce.

    I visited two times~ Fun whimsical atmosphere, excellent service with attentive staff. Remakes…read morewithout a hassle if latte/ food is by chance "off" . Food is very tasty

    Don't try to go right now. Give it a few months…read more 3 FAILED ATTEMPTS. 9 months pregnant and tried 3 different times to dine, each time with no honest transparency with wait times. I really wanted to keep loving Bien Mérité, but after three attempts, I'm extremely frustrated. Each visit has involved inaccurate and constantly changing wait times. My first attempt on 4/10 around 2pm in the afternoon. It was just me and my 15month old baby, there was only 2-3 tables occupied and I was told 45 minute wait with an almost empty dining room. I asked the hostess due to me being 9 months pregnant and having a toddler if I could just at least sit down while waiting the additional 45 mins and was told no. So I totted out my baby and myself, bought pastries and left. The second attempt I was quoted an hour , waiting the full hour and checked back in with the hostess stand only to be told it was going to be an additional hour, on top of what we already waited again. Third attempt (Sunday, April 26) waited a full hour, checked in once again with the hostess and was told it is now going to be another 90 minutes on top of once again the hour we already waited. I understand waits happen, but this level of inconsistency feels disorganized and disrespectful of customers' time--especially when expectations are set incorrectly from the start. I'm just asking for transparency and honesty here. It's disappointing because the space is beautiful and I've always supported this business but the waitlist management and homestead stand seriously needs improvement on honesty and management of times.

    The restaurant itself is clean and very inviting. The smell of the delicious food being cooked at…read morethe tables just makes you want to sit down right away and start eating immediately! So many choices of meat cuts and options for your hot pot and or the grill is more than enough to make anyone happy. The sushi in the side bar which comes with the meal is awesome as well rivaling some other sushi spots in Corpus. It's a great date night place to eat so you can both have fun cooking, laughing about how one of the two people want to take over the grill:) the hot pot is amazing as well. If you are really hungry you can do both the hot pot and the grill. It is a lot of food though and the table can get hot so some sweating can occur. We will continue to go back over and over again to experience the fantastic food and great service they have to offer!!!

    We had the Korean bbq and a hot pot. The mushroom flavored broth was very unseasoned and bland…read more the bbq meats were seasoned and they offered a good selection of vegetables. They have a large sauce bar with different flavored soy and chilli sauces that we were not aware of at all till we got up to get dessert which was just three offerings. All the drinks are extra and so are the à la carte desserts. The service wasn't knowledgeable about the food differences or seasonings. The ambiance was nice and restsurant is new.

    This is a table of 8 but it was of 3 of us. So if it was a full table it would kinda be crowded but a table of would be comfortable.
