Wonderful service and atmosphere. Waiter was welcoming and attentive. I got the mole enchiladas and you could tell it was fresh. The guac and chips were so good. 10/10 would recommend!

Every single time we come here, we’re impressed. The food, the service, the drinks, the vibe. Highly recommend the corn tortillas they make in house, and the melty carnitas… *drool*.

We got the platter for 2 and the moramor mocktail tonight. So good.

I was there for my wife's work retreat. I enjoyed the food and service. I didn't like the high chairs. They cut the circulation of my legs.

My mom and I had such a wonderful experience at Mercado! The food was absolutely incredible — the fish tacos and steak tacos were both so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Our waitress, Kyle, was amazing — warm, attentive, and so friendly. We even got to meet Glenn, the owner, who was just as kind and welcoming. Everyone there made us feel so comfortable — it was truly a breath of fresh air. We can’t wait to come back! Just a few pics, I wish I took more!!

Excellent customer service and a great atmosphere! The drinks were good, especially the michelada and mezcal margarita. While the chicken mole enchiladas and carnitas were decent, the ceviche negro appetizer was the standout dish. Overall, I was more impressed with the ambiance and drinks than the main courses.

Delicious from drinks, duo dip (warm chips set it off strong) and the carnitas taco and ceviche tostado were amazing. Fresh ingredients really come through. Highly recommend. Service was also excellent.

Hands down the BEST customer service I’ve had in a very long time. Was greeted by a very friendly hostess & sat right away. Our server Cassidy (I pray I got it right) was AMAZING!!! Very polite, patient, funny & knowledgeable of every dish & drink we were curious about. Very aware of our needs, not once did we have to look for her nor stop another server to ask for anything. Before leaving I asked to speak to her Manager so, that he’d be aware of how awesome she was & because of this great experience I had I’d definitely return as well as recommend to friends & family. Not allowing me to post videos 😢 The food was so good, fresh & authentic 🌶️

This place, like many others, has turned into highway robbery. Not only have they raised their prices, but they’ve also added a 3% surcharge to every bill. At the bottom of the receipt, it says that if you don’t want to pay the surcharge, they’ll gladly remove it.

I’m sorry—did you ask me if it was okay to tack on 3% without my consent? I’m sure many customers don’t even notice it, which makes it feel deceptive.

This is NOT acceptable, Mercado. If you’re willing to remove the fee when asked, why charge it at all? At the very least, you should be upfront with customers before adding it to their bill.

Additionally, I feel like it’s time to sand Or maybe even replace all their nasty, sticky , and oily tables and benches. It ended disgusting to eat food from those tables and seat on the benches.
