Spectacular. Tacos el Filete. So on point. Walked out of a higher rated Mexican restaurant after taking one bite, walked a few blocks and found this place. It was clean. Service was wonderful. Food was delicious with perfect presentation. I will return.

Let’s start with the positives. The guacamole is great. This place is great for drinks and guac, as long as you’re sitting outside (inside it’s smelly). The rest of the food is mediocre at best. There is one flavor to the food: spicy. As if just being spicy is enough. No other flavors.

I was there for Martin Luther King's birthday this last Monday 2026 and I bought a nice tasty hamburger but the cook was very skimpy and give me a very small piece of meat so when you pay $27 for a hamburger you expect to get a little more out of it the kid at the bar was phenomenal too bad to cook was not the same way.

Had the lobster tacos and Jamaica drink. Guac and chips too. Enjoy the atmosphere of a heated outdoor patio. Excellent service.

Food is delicious. They just need to have more choices. The happy hour menu is better than the dinner menu.

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!!
