    Merino's fish & chips are amazing. I ordered the ling cod this time but the halibut or rock cod are also very good. Friendly staff!

    Food is good and authentic, however I was quite surprised that chips were not offered being that…read morethey have a salsa bar. When we ask, the young lady, her comment was the reason they charge for chips is because the menu is so affordable. The menu is average to the location it's in.

    This is my husband's favorite little place to stop on the way to visit his mother (in Ocean Shores)…read morewhen driving through Aberdeen. This was my first visit. We got a veggie burrito and also I told them I wanted a super taco but no meat-beans & cheese instead. The burrito was huge and delicious. My taco order got lost in translation I guess because I didn't get all the stuff the super burrito was supposed to have , like sour cream, lettuce & tomato and guac. All I got was a tortilla with beans & cheese. As our order was to go I didn't go back to correct it. Next time I'll just order meat. Their salsas were excellent-we got both green & red. They juice their own carrots for fresh juice which my husband loves. I got strawberry agua Fresca. I asked for some limes to brighten it up and though I know that's not authentic, they obliged me and I liked it better that way. I'm sure we will be back. I'm not going to hold them responsible for my taco as I don't think I made myself clear and it was kind of a weird request. I just wasn't in the mood for meat. P.S. The prices here are very reasonable!

    The definition of a Mom and Pop operation, so don't expect a fast in and out and they may be out of…read moresome items.. Food was all very good and the owner is super friendly.. The highlight was definitely the grilled oysters and watching the owner grill them out front :)

    I saw the pictures and the reviews. When pulled up I saw and smelled the wood smoking. I didn't see…read moreany oysters smoking or being grilled. I just assumed it was done to order and got doubly excited for some smoky grilled oysters I was fixin' to have. I got inside and placed my order and waited for them to hit the table. During that time I didn't see any oysters come from the building and go to the grill. When my oysters came to the table, Manuel came from the kitchen where he and a lady had spent most the time while I was there. The oysters looked exactly how the pictures looked and were piping hot. I waved my hand over the oysters towards my nose......no smoke smell. I leaned away, very surprised on why I couldn't smell smokiness. I picked up my fork and bit into an oyster. I tasted no char or smoke of any kind. My oyster had been broiled. So, I had to call Manuel and ask how the oysters were prepare. He told me that the oysters take 18 mins. to prepare and sometimes the wait when there is a lot of people, causes a long wait time. I was the only person in the restaurant, until I got up to pay. He implied that sometimes to avoid a wait, another preparation style is used with the grill in the "back" and this was the technique that was used to make my order. I only observed smoke and wood smell from the front grill that was closest to the front door of the restaurant. Also, he said that oysters are prepared one of three ways....pan fried, fried, or grilled. My oysters weren't prepared any of the three ways he mentioned. All this said to me while it sounded like he was gathering his thoughts and mumbling his words. I must've come on a bad day, Manuel did mention how business had been bad for him.
