" What an incredible experience! The fresh or grilled ingredients really shone through in every dish. The cocktails were unique too! An experience I’d recommend to anyone looking for authentic Mexican infusions that still have a modern twist. " (*Curated Review*)

" I love how Mercado blends traditional recipes with a modern flair! Everything felt fresh, and loved the ambiance. My only concern was that my dish could have been a little more generously portioned given the price. Nonetheless, I will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Finally got to try Mercado after hearing rave reviews and it lived up to the expectations! The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the atmosphere is so vibrant. My favorite was the crispy black bean tacos; they were out of this world! Cheers to great food! " (*Curated Review*)

" Wow, what a discovery! The tacos here have such a fresh taste, and the ingredients are all high quality. Although the salsas definitely pack a punch, I'd recommend the grilled veggies for a milder taste. Super fast service, too, even on busy nights! " (*Curated Review*)

" Decent place but definitely overpriced for what I received. The service was fast, and the vibe was nice, but I wasn't blown away by the food. I'd give it another shot, but I wouldn't go in with expectations too high. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a pretty good experience overall. The tacos were decent, but I wouldn't say they blew my mind. Service was attentive, and the waiter recommended a nice margarita. It did feel a bit pricey for what we got, yet the ambiance was enjoyable and lively. " (*Curated Review*)

" Nov 2024 and still consistently great! Came here again for the third time and the food was just delightful. Tried the lobster tacos and the grilled street corn, both superb! Don't forget dessert; the churro ice cream is to die for – creamy with just the right sweetness. This spot is quickly becoming my new favorite. " (*Curated Review*)
