“my husband and were looking for a new place to eat and unfortunately we chose here due to it being right down the street from where we live. This establishment says they are open until 10, which they are not. When we arrived at the restaurant it was before 9 pm. There was not but one or two people inside the restaurant so I knew we would be in and out fast. The waitress seemed a little irritated, which I didn't understand at first, but now I realize it's because everywhere online says this restaurant is open until 10, but they close at 9. So when we arrived they should have actually been closing. I would never go to a restaurant right when they are closing. When we were leaving the establishment well before 10, we let the owner know the food was great and we'd be back. All he said was "yes we close at 9/920". I called the restaurant the next day to apologize for coming in so late because I would never do that, and let them know that the website says they are open until 10. The owner of this restaurant actually went off on me until the point where I was crying lol. 😅 (I've read before he was very ugly to his employees which is why he can't keep workers. Maybe why he's so short staffed?) He said I had no compassion for the employee he had making her stay late when she was sick, saying he's the owner and he gets to choose when they close daily, things of that nature. I told him I had no clue why he was going off on me when I called to apologize for coming in so late, and notify them they may need to update their times on the website. I was not trying to complain to anyone, not posting reviews, anything. Just trying to notify straight to him. I asked my husband to come in the room while I was on the phone with the owner, and THEN the owner started apologizing and asking us to come back. Then after ending the call because I was so upset, the owner tried to call me again. I called back to him and he again was apologizing asking us to come back, saying he was the owner and needs more workers, etc. While telling him why I was upset and why I would not be coming back, he handed the phone over to a waitress instead of talking to me about the issues. I apologized to the waitress because this is not her problem to deal with and ended it at that.“

“My husband and I love coming into Mercado‘s!! Today Emily was our waitress and she did a great job! She was very fun, friendly & just a joy! Michael, up front, is always so friendly when we come in. He is a character for sure. The fajitas we had today were delish!! The hot sauce is so delicious. Of course in Texas, that’s one of the only ways to judge a Mexican food restaurant.“

“after moving here from California 6 years ago it's been very difficult to find a restaurant that serves a good menudo. I've tried many many places. yesterday my husband picked up my menudo order from El Jilo, brought it home, and I finally found it. you make the best menudo. so flavorful and full of tripe, just delicious. in addition, fresh homemade corn tortillas. you can't beat it. will be coming back for sure.“

“Le cell ent Mexican food!!!“

“Very good food and service! I ordered the "lunch special" with pork chops, mashed potatoes, and green beans. The chops were nice and juicy, with brown gravy. If I would have known how big they were, I would have ordered the "senior"pork chop, which came with only 1 chop. I couldnt finish it all. The potatoes were instant, but very well seasoned. The only thing that kept me from giving the food 5 stars, was the green beans were still a little crunchy. My wife ordered the senior CFS; It was large enough that she could only eat half. It was a frozen, pretty breaded patty, but very tasty. The cream gravy was from a mix, but tasted like Pioneer mix, which I think is the best mix out there. We will return next time we are in Tyler, as I want to sample the Mexican menu.“

“Amazing experience w great food!“

“Went after church this morning and there was a big after church crowd. Our server Nick was great. He was hustling very hard to keep all of his tables happy. Food was great too.“

“We have had various dishes from Palacios menu. Chilaquiles, breakfast burritos, red and green enchiladas, sopes. Our favorite is the Enmoladas. The mole sauce is great. All of Palacios food is made to order. They serve aguas frescas and general taqueria fare. The dining area is simple. Palacios is less foo-foo than some our other local taquerias, but holds its own with great food.“

“Absolutely love this place! The food is super authentic and full of flavor. The atmosphere is warm and family oriented, which makes it feel like home. I highly recommend the red enchiladas with chicken so good. They also offer aguas frescas, coffee, and Mexican Coke to go with your meal. One of my favorite parts is the complimentary chips that come with three different types of salsa. Everything here is made with care and you can taste the difference. Definitely a go-to spot in Tyler!“
