Beware, Juarez Triple Sec – When You order a top shelf margarita or Mexican Martini they put in a splash of Couintreau and then make the drink with Juarez Triple Sec. Inexcusable.
Very good margaritas! Best brisket tacos!! – Excellent service, margaritas and food! My wife and I had margaritas and the brisket tacos...ooohhh sooo good!!
Good service and friendly staff – Friendly people made conversations, on time service. Food was par with other regular Mexican (TexMex) restaurants. Good atmosphere. I wasn't accepting anything extra ordinary when I went to this restaurant because of location and prices. Most entree's were under $10 and good place to eat with family too.
Horrible Service, Medicore Food – After living just 2 blocks away from El Mercado for the last 14 years, and being a regular customer during that time, I decided after last night's experience I will never return. I had sworn them off, because about 2 months ago, a dear friend of mine and I went and were sitting at the bar, when the bartender made what I thought was a completely rude comment. Two women walked in together to pick up a phoned in order, and when they left, the bartender turned to me and my friend and said "well,... read more
A lot of solid Mexican food for very little $$$ – El Mercado is a typical run of the mill Mexican Restaurant. The margaritas a are solid and their beer selection has all the standard Mexican beers. For an appetizer we tried the jalapenos stuffed with bacon wrapped shrimp, and they were amazing, a nice kick from the pepper mixing with perfectly boiled shrimp and thick juicy bacon. As an extra bonus it was served with a garlic sour cream dip, which was a little runny (think ranch dressing texture), but tasted incredible, it ho... read more
Terrible Food – This was one of the worst Tex Mex restaurants I have visted in Austin. The food was incredibly bland looking and very bland tasting. It was as if they forgot to season everything. There was very little cheese (and it was fake looking). Usually you can count on the refried beans and rice to be good but even this was missing salt and seasoning. Don't go; you will waste your money and end up eating some of the worst food. Only plus: the services was great.
Avoid completely – Terrible food - I ordered enchiladas and they didn't come with sauce on them. Have you ever heard of enchiladas with no sauce? Rice and beans were inedible. My dining partner picked at his food as well. And it wasn't particularly cheap. Lots of other places are cheaper and tons better (i.e. Maudie's). Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere.
Family friendly local Tex Mex chain on Burnet Road. – In Short El Mercado stands out with its comfortable, relaxed scenery and kid-friendly attitude. Brightly colored balloons for the kids, festively painted decor and tasty margaritas for mom or dad--it's a match made in Tex-Mex heaven. Cheese is well-represented; in fact, the only non-cheese items on the kids' menu are the breakfast items. If your child is fussy and won't go for anything even remotely connected to foreign cuisine, there's always the Elmer cheeseburger with ... read more
