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.

This is one of the first restaurants I discovered when I moved to Austin 25 years ago and It's still one of my favorites. I love the food and can't recall ever receiving bad service (this past Sunday was a little slow but they were extremely busy) Anyway, I love El Mercado and I'm here almost every week.
Very pleased with the overall experience. Great lunch specials, delicious food and margaritas! Service was great!

Loved the food! Even though we came in about 45 minutes before closed the entire staff was extremely friendly! I went home a full and happy woman.
