From Our Kitchen to Your Table

El Sope is a Merced taqueria built on family recipes and the kind of patience you can taste. Our birria simmers low and slow until the meat falls into ribbons. Our tortillas are pressed by hand each morning. Our salsas are blistered, blended, and bottled in-house - never out of a jar.

Whether you're racing through a lunch break or feeding the whole crew, our menu is built for big appetites and bold flavor. Stack a Burrito Supreme, dip a quesadilla into rich consomé, or grab a tray of street tacos for the table. Everything's made fresh, served fast, and rooted in the traditions of authentic Mexican cooking.

What Merced is Saying

"If you like saucy asada fries, I highly recommend. Their flavor is just very unique — I think it's due to their sauce. Nothing else in Merced compares."

- Aaron X.

"I order this at least 4 times a month. 😄 I just get the Quesadilla de Birria with consume. It's sooooo delicious, bless the hand that made this. It comes warm and the size is amazing. I can share with the kids."

- Latrina S

"I ordered Shrimp tacos and rice. It was so good. I order Shrimp and fish tacos on Fridays when I can't eat meat. They were fresh and they are a good size for the price."
