El Mercado offers a lively atmosphere with wonderful live music and great margaritas. The staff is kind and the service is usually phenomenal. The restaurant is known for its delicious Tex-Mex food that never disappoints. Customers especially enjoy the tortilla soup, which is delicious, and the Mexican rice, very tangy. The Gospel Brunch is a popular event, featuring family-style seating and fantastic live music. The back patio is a nice, dog-friendly space where pets are welcomed with water bowls. The restaurant provides friendly service, with staff members like Trent being very attentive. Popular dishes include queso, chicken fajitas, and spinach and mushroom quesadillas, which are some of the best around—filled generously and served crispy with guac and sour cream. With ample parking, including a lot across the street, El Mercado is a great spot to enjoy a tasty meal, some entertainment, and a relaxing atmosphere.
