Super quick to order. Food is very tasteful.. I got this for my lunch and felt great after.. it’s light on the stomach. Sometimes having a burger or cheesesteak weighs you down especially if you need to move around a lot after. This was fantastic.. I got the coffee and Jamaica with one of the combo orders. The coffee is made in house and you can clearly tell the difference in quality and freshness.

I love el merkury! I had the elote salad which was delish and taquitos. My partner got the pupusa taquito combo with the cheesy rice and plantain chips. We LOVED! The service was great too. I especially loved the squash taquito and I’m not even vegetarian.

Vegetarian options: Squash taquitos, jackfruit taquito

The PUPUSAS & SALADS are HORRIBLE tasting. The TAMARIND drink is so water down you can barely taste the naturalness of it. It’s a shame because the place is really clean and the two girls that take your order are so kind and wonderful. It’s really discouraging to have to write this review because I am Spanish like the owners are that own this establishment. Very disappointed as a customer.

Five stars for service.

Not to be rude but the pupusas are not good. I am not the authenticity authority by any means but, if this was a persons first ever Pupusa. You would fail to see why they are so often praised. Also apart of the experience are the cabbages and pickled onions. The cabbage I kid you not..., have a sweet twang reminiscent of raisins???The onions remind me of Sauerkraut (in flavor) but very thick. The price point was good but most Pupusa spots I happen to pass give you 3 for a similar price. If you're used to small Pupusa spots or Salvadorian Pupusas you won't enjoy these. Also the pupusas were very dry and the miaz is very thick. Also there's no option to put queso in the Pupusa. So I guess you just get it without it, which is very much unlike a Pupusa. The salsa isn't even worth it.

The atmosphere is open and chill.
