History
Houston's East End has been home to the iconic family owned Merida Mexican Restaurant for over forty years. Rafael and Olga Acosta began their business by serving family recipes derived from the heart of the Yucatan Peninsula. It didn't take long for the locals to fall in love with the family friendly atmosphere that the Acosta family extended to each and every customer and still continues to this day. Operated now by Mr. Acosta's grandson, Rafael Acosta Jr., he proudly carries on the tradition of not only making sure his customers feel like family, but also by being an active member in the East End community.
