" The hype is real. Mercado is consistently great and remains a favorite for our lunch dates! The taco trio is to die for with an assortment of flavors. Their churro ice cream is also not to be missed. Very pleased with our meal every time! " (*Curated Review*)

" I came for lunch and it was fantastic! The staff greeted me warmly, and my meal was exceptional, especially the chilaquiles with carnitas. The experience was delightful overall, and I highly recommend checking this place out! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my doubts going in, but Mercado exceeded my expectations. The ambiance was lively, and the servers were incredibly friendly. We ordered the roasted cauliflower tacos and enchiladas, which were bursting with flavor! Definitely plan to return with friends next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" My family and I visited for brunch, and it was simply delightful. The patio seating added to the experience, and we shared multiple dishes including their killer guacamole and tacos. I also liked the kale salad; it was refreshing. We'll definitely return! " (*Curated Review*)

" Our first experience was a mixed bag. The ambiance drew us in, but we felt the food was a bit overrated. The carnitas didn't quite meet my expectations, but I did appreciate the homemade tortillas. The drinks were refreshing and the service was friendly. " (*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*)
