El Borracho Sports Bar & Grill

Was seated promptly but then everything was down hill. Waitress was slow and not even professional. My sons came out but not mine. waiting for it but nothing. Chips and salsa were stale and cold . My son's omelet was warm at best. Waitress was not attending to our needs.Expensive food and bland tasting .They only take cash all in all a dissatisfied customer Will never return

I decided to give the new spot in town a try for brunch this past Sunday and let me tell you... THIS IS IT! This is exactly what Merced has been missing! The food was a 10, the waitress was super sweet and took good care of us and the vibe! I cannot say enough about how well this restaurant was thought out, from the tables to the murals and the MUSIC!!! Just go don't hesitate there is something for everyone on their menu! I also want to point out that my visit was the morning after the Canelo fight and it was cinco de mayo and apparently they had the fights showing but I would have never known because the restaurant including the bathroom was spotless.. so clean!

Another first! Been looking at this place for a while now. Decided to check it out today. Glad we did. Had some friends come as well. The shrimp on the appetizer menu were Bomb AF! The rest of the food was delicious as well. This is a sports bar, so the music is pretty loud but good. I do recommend you to stop by and grab some dam good sea food. .

I was really skeptic on coming here because I know MERCED people want Everything perfect right when it opens but let me tell you, me and my wife came here, service was great, drinks were on point, and the food omg fire fire no lie!! I used to have to travel to Fresno San Jose to eat mariscos and eat good food like this but now it's in MERCED. Thank you el borracho for opening up. They have bandas and grupo on the weekends. super good we will be coming back! We had the ceviche trio Borracho breakfast Aguachiles negraSushi#chefskiss

Overall, food was pretty good. I had the octopus. Usually, this is chewy at other places, but this one was one of the best. Borderline melt in your moth texture and great flavor. Owner seems to be very proud of the food service. He refused to put out nachos and tostadas as they weren't of good quality. That being said, they are very under staffed.Be prepared to wait a while for your food to show up, aside from waiting for a waiter to take your order. Also, you should lean into the staff to get your drinks right away, we didn't get water or bottled beer until 20 mins after we did our orders, however the specialty drinks arrived within minutes.

The vibe is great, the concept is great, drinks r fire, hospitality amazing.... Only thing is that the live music is WAAAAAAYYYYY to loud especially for NON SPANISH speaking customers

El Borracho is new in my town and I've been following them on social media. It seemed very popular with the night crowd (they have live music some days in the evenings), but I have not seen a lot of posts for breakfast. Therefore, here we are. We were greeted immediately when we walked in and seated quickly. They had just opened for the day so there was not very many people when we got there, but more people came in as we continued with our meal. No live band in the morning but current Musica Mexicana was playing over the speakers. I could see right away why it was a popular night spot. Even in the daytime, the custom wall paintings were very fun with relevant music artists and sports icons. Dont get me started with the beautiful restroom. Ladies, look up when you walk in. The menu was different than most Mexican places in town. But if you've read my previous Yelp posts, you'd know I'm only looking for one breakfast item: chilaquiles. I ordered the Borracho Breakfast which i verified with our server was indeed chilaquiles. And I was 100% satisfied. I did the happy food dance in my seat. The sauce was perfect, the chips had the perfect crispness, it had a bit of cheese and cilantro on top. The chilaquiles came with 1 egg (I didn't tell them how I wanted the egg so if you don't like over easy, you should let them know), beans and asada. When my plate came out, I thought the asada was a little charred, but once I cut into it, it was super tender and had an amazing flavor.My daughter had French toast. I didn't taste it but she said it was good. I can't wait to go back and try more good food!

The food is great and ambiance is amazing!! It's such a vibe here. From the great customer service to the food and you can't leave out the music. Also the manager he's amazing and definitely fits the vibes here so if you come by ask for Jorge!! He will take care of you!

For Mothers day! We visited our favorite place in town ones again! Great service and delicious! the best live music

Jasmine was a great server. Very attentive. The food was great, drinks here strong. Will return.
