Wyoming Tex-Mex established in Jackson Hole since 1969, Merry Piglets evolved from a humble taco shack to a full-sized restaurant while maintaining commitment to scratch-made dishes. They fry in 100% beef tallow, not industrial seed oils, with menu specialties including street tacos (blackened shrimp, ribeye, hot honey chicken), enchiladas, quesadillas with braised brisket, and fried ice cream. The lively atmosphere features hand-chopped ingredients, an extensive tequila selection, and signature Big Pig Margarita (32oz Astral Blanco).
