El Mercadito is a charming spot that serves flavorful tacos, with options like carne asada and el pastor. Their tacos are a highlight, especially on Tuesdays when they are just $1, and other daily specials include $3.50 tortas on Thursdays. The restaurant also offers salsa verde, rice, and beans that are standouts, along with refreshing agua de horchata. The food is consistently good, and the service is often exceptional, with attentive staff like Evelyn and Luis M. making guests feel welcomed and well taken care of. The chile relleno is a popular dish, and dietary options are available for those with dairy and gluten intolerance. With affordable prices and tasty food, El Mercadito remains a great place to visit.
