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 ok (I ordered wrong) but the waitress was rude and always seemed to be in a hurry even though it was not busy at all. I had to edit this review the manager ask how everything was and I let him know he apologized and made it right.

Great food, great drinks, great service! Not our first time there over the years, and went there last night for our wedding anniversary. Never been disappointed! We'll be back!

Came in because they had a sign that said Mexican martini specials 5 -close so we went in around 7;15. They told me there were no specials because it was Friday. But they had a sign out... The manager said it was out there by mistake and would not honor the price!!! How can u have a sign out and not know??? Eddie the GM has no customer service skills!!!!
Business response:
Anita, we're sorry that a human error and mistake made by our morning cleaning crew made you feel compelled to leave a 1 star review. We can understand how a 25% price difference can be confusing and disheartening. We'd love to hear more about what upset you in hopes of making this right... Please email upper management at south@elmercadorestaurant.com.

Some of the best brisket tacos I've ever had, and the Backstage is a GREAT place to catch a show.
