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.

Loved seeing the Purgatory Players today. Must see!!!
Good place to relax, and have a good time.
We ate for the first time at El Mercado this past weekend, we went to see Pat Byrne (who is amazing) and I just want to compliment the food but mostly our waitress Tracie. We eat out quite a bit and I have to say, she is the best waitress we have ever had - her personality (which is great!) really shines through, she has fun with customers which makes it even more fun for us. She recommended items for our dinner (thanks for having vegan options!) and our drinks which were all great and she truly cared that we liked them. Wel... read more
I used to love are Mercado ! Couldn’t wait to eat there weekly . I’ve been to several locations & the flavor is disappointing & the prices are not worth the taste . Service is usually lackluster at best . I quit hoping to see improvement.
Bel endroit, bonne ambiance, plats généreux. Les aliments ne sont clairement pas grande qualité mais c’est super bien cuisiné et servi chaleureusement ! Les margaritas tiennent leurs promesses ! Nous avons passé un excellent moment avec Sky (la serveuse) ! Merci & au plaisir :)
the veggie taco was so fresh and quite delicious and of course ♥️ the charro beans. our server was very nice and efficient. appetizer was out in less than10 min followed by dinner 10 min later.
I had the fajita taco salad. It was very good and their ranch dressing is the best. Service was on point!
Simply good food! Anything and everything that comes from the kitchen is delicious!! Seriously hearty portions. The refried beans are the closest to authentic “border” taste anywhere... Food is always fresh! Huge shout out to Eddie for being an awesome manager and going out if his way to connect and listen to customers. If Flavio is in the house,I recommend him above all to take care of your dinning experience...Pet friendly too!!
