Highway 51 is a route that many vacationers know well. It’s a corridor into the Northwoods that takes people to some of the top destinations in Northern Wisconsin, and on a Friday night or Sunday afternoon, you’ll see a lot of cars pulling boats and campers. I’ve done this trip a million times.

For many of these travelers, the journey is a lot less remarkable than the destination and involves some long hours in the car. But there’s a great way to spice the trip up.

Just make plans to grab lunch or dinner at Los Mezcales Mexican Restaurant. This little oasis of a restaurant is just off the highway. Merrill is a pleasant town that’s a destination in its own right – it’s nicknamed the City of Parks. But it’s also the city of tacos!
