La Tia Juana - Merced
Michael Hermosillo About a month ago I stopped here by chance because the party I was with suggested it. Upon entering I was immediately impressed by the vibe and atmosphere. Its not a club, but its a step up from a bar. The food is great; its not a traditional Mexican cuisine menu, because its more along the lines of "street vendor" or "food truck" selections. The michelada shrimp blew me away the very first time I ate it. However, the main reason you should attend this spot is because of the customer service. On my very first visit I met a bartender named Denise. I instantly felt like a priority while sitting at the bar. She was attentive and kind, and the joy she portrayed while working didnt seem forced our generic. She truly loves and enjoys doing what she does. Ive been visiting this location every weekend since my first visit. Many times Denise is the only bartender behind the counter and this place gets packed sometimes; never once did I notice Denise miss a customer or cause a complaint. She stands on business and commands the room while shes at the helm, a true "go getter." She always wears a smile and makes you feel appreciated. If youre ever in the mood for spicey lime flavored shrimp and an ice cold beer; you need to come try this place. You will not be disappointed.
