About this business

The sombreros and parrots, mixed with the Mexican music in the background, could fool diners into thinking they stepped into a fiesta. This good old-fashioned restaurant is serious about its Mexican food, served with a progressive touch. From breakfasts of huevos, rancheros or migas to dinners of grilled chicken, shrimp, fajitas and more, the food here does not fail to satisfy. The atmosphere is casual; the patio is terrific and the hot sauce is great.

Food was great, and the music was hot in the Backstage venue! It was our first time and we were very pleased with the whole experience.

I havent been to el mercado in a while but last night the food was on point. But the waiters need to smile and be more talkative to the customers but other than that it was delicious
