love this place! best breakfast around here, and the entire menu is delicious and healthy. love seeing locals whenever I come in. Drinks are fantastic, and the staff is so friendly and welcoming. It's really a hub of the neighborhood. Thank you!
Friendly on point staff and a great breakfast menu with a view!
My friend and I stumbled upon this place when looking for breakfast. We both had the Venice Hippie omelet. Amazing! My Bloody Mary was perfect, and our waiter was awesome-entertaining and attentive.
We had a great time. The service was really great and so was the food as well. Great place to grab a bite if your in the area
A must go. My boyfriend and I just moved to CA from South Florida and this place has their Cuban cuisine on point. We ordered 4 items and loved them all! Will be back!
Rachel our waitress is always welcoming and in a great mood. I am obsessed with the flat breads and the best thing of all - my Italian Greyhound loves sleeping on my lap while I’m enjoying being there 👍🏻
The food is yummy delicious and so are the men I see whenever I am dining there. You always have plenty to eat. The prices are right, the menu's delightful and I would eat there every week if I could except I live in Valencia but whenever I used to work in the area I would have lunch at least once a week. They always have fantastic parties. You can even rent this fabulous restaurant to celebrate a huge magnificent event. Their staff is amazing and if you're lucky you might get to thank beautiful Mercedes who's the owner of this amazing spot for happy hour, fun, laughter, meeting new folks and of course excellent fine dining. You'll be back for more. I always am. Enjoy.
Food 🥘 is amazing staff is so welcoming and let's not forget the amazing bartender.. Drinks are always on point ...
We love everything about Mercedes. We've had breakfast, lunch and dinner there and several time we just sat at the bar sipping on Mojitos. No matter what the meal, the food has always been great as has the service. It is a nice and airy atmosphere with friendly people.
I had breakfast & it was absolutely delicious, nice & fresh & our waitress was very engaging!
I had the hibiscus tacos with rice and beans. Delicious! I highly recommend giving Mercedes a try the next time you are at Venice Beach.
The Best food I have had in years! Service Amazing! Lots of fun and a great crowd!
One best Omelets I ever had !! I really enjoyed location..walking distance of the beach !!
Hands down..only eat here...done..amazing ��� incredible cuisine. 150% satisfied and will only eat here when I come in town to dine. Respectfully VBeach�
After escaping, hungry, from our last Venice beach stop, we nipped in here to take our bearings. We could not have been better looked after. The spinach and artichoke dip was fresh, hot and flavoursome and the staff were friendly, efficient and friendly. Good, reasonably priced cocktails too 😀
So delicious. My girlfriends and I woke up late the morning of Cinco de Mayo while on vacation in Venice Beach. We Urbanspoon-ed nearby places and decided on Mercedes due to ratings and distance from our hotel. I ordered the Cuban Pork Sandwich based on recommendations on 4square and it was a great choice. The mustard and mayo made a great combo and the sandwich bun was crunchy yet tender on the inside. The pulled pork was fantastic! The only odd thing was this strange deep-fried but mushy veggie? Perhaps it was a soggy plantain chip? It was so convenient to walk to from the hotel, and to the beach, that I would definitely visit again.
Changed my life!. We don't have much in the way of Cuban fare in Australia, so didn't know what to expect when I went to Mercedes with a friend who is a local.
What can I say - everything was SUPERB! I am now addicted to their pulled pork sandwich! I had it on every possible occasion, and it was my last meal, specially made since it was dinner time and the sandwich is a lunch item, before I flew out.
The black beans and fried plantains were delicious as well.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!
Latin Breakfast a hit!!!. Visited Venice Beach and have many choices but this place stood out because of their location and breakfast menu. Needless to say that it was worth the trip and enjoyed the Huevos Rancheros with black beans, rice and plantains.....and my boyfriend had the Huevos con Plantanos y Frittata......it was fantastic!
Delicious Huevos Rancheros! Reasonably priced with outdoor seating providing a view of Washington Boulevard and the entrance to the pier. Service was average during lunch.
Mercede's Grille has lots of outdoor seating - the weather is gorgeous today! I loved that they served complimentary fried plantain chips Noshed on a few, dipped in the sauces, while we waited for our orders…
Great breakfast choices! Beautiful decor inside and also have outdoor seating. Friendly staff, very helpful and attentive service. One got the 222 meal - 2 eggs 2 meats 2 pancakes breakfast and one selected Mom's breakfast sandwich meal, with ham on sour dough bread. Also, added grilled onions and peppers to the home fries.
Both meals were delicious and filling. Very clean.
There is a bar and the lunch menu looks good, will be back to try other options as very reasonable prices. Short walk about 1-block from the beach.
I always come here when visiting Venice Beach! Great food, and the staff is incredibly friendly. The breakfast options are fantastic, and the atmosphere is just perfect. Whether it's the delicious meals or the warm hospitality, this place never disappoints. Highly recommend!
I LOVE THIS PLACE!!! The food is ALWAYS incredibly delicious! The staff are top notch! The flavors are wonderful and the location is great. The açaí bowl is finger licking delicious. The tuna pica was almost as lovely as it was yummy!!!
Absolutely excellent culinary expertise. great atmosphere, great food! Truffle fries for a Michelin star! Service: the best. music you come here!
Saturday brunch was really good. Sat on the covered patio, waitress Natasha (sp?) very nice. We had the açaí bowl, avocado toast, and MDR omelette = all yummy. And coffee was great. Definitely will be back.
Stopped here for breakfast, we both had omelette 'the hippie' one with potatoes and one with fruit. Between 8am and 9am this is half price only $8 inc tax and it's not only the best value breakfast in LA, is probably the best tasting..the potatoes are amazing and this will keep you going until late afternoon. Don't miss this spot...it's simply fantastic along with great staff.
Very nice spot for brunch or lunch right near Venice Beach front.
The service was excellent, very attentive waitress. I asked for Chicken and Waffles but they were out of waffles so she said she could improvise and do it with pancakes instead which was a nice touch. She was always checking everything was ok and if she could get us anything.
My only minor criticism would be that each dish was maybe a couple of dollars too expensive, but we were happy to pay because of the excellent service.
FRESH FISH!! Fresh veggies fresh food. Wow this place seems to put quality first, not to mention the atmosphere. Right near the beach, the hustle and bustle doesn’t slow down their service. Thankful for a caring and competent serving team! Big ups to the hiring manager. Big ups to the chef. Thank you all for an amazing experience in Venice.
Went here for lunch for my birthday. The staff was so nice and attentive. The food was really good. They're ceviche was great with nice size shrimp inside. Omelet's had a ton of meat inside. Also, they check for vaccine cards to allow you to keep your mask off during your time there.
I love sitting at the bar - that’s the best service. Eggs Benedict here is awesome- bartenders are awesome. Service at tables is slow and inattentive. Good bloodys and overall good menu options. Pricey- eggs Benedict alone was $25 after tax.
