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.

RecommendedWe love this place for lunch and we are hoping to get here on a Sunday for their brunch.
Drive past here quite often and finally decided to stop. Started with chips and salsa...which were good (but hard to mess up). decided to try the queso and it was average. Server was friendly and super helpful...just quite disappointed in the food. Had enchiladas with rice and beans. Things were pretty bland across the board. Glad I tried it, won't be back.
been sitting here for 40 minutes and haven't had any server approach me. haven't even been offered water.
"home away from home" for me. Love the food and drink. Great staff, friendly service, and a great place for a party.
We’ve been going there since the early nineties for Happy Hour on Friday’s. We’ve enjoyed the food, staff, and comradeship. We have been treated wonderful and enjoyed their kindness.
This place is a must! We have been coming for years and have not only had great service and awesome food, but have made wonderful friends along the way! #lovemercado#longlivemercado
Waitress was very slow and we were missing everything
Great Mexican food and perfect location and always awesome staff.
So much fun. The food is very authentic and the service is genuine.
