" Merkado has such a chill vibe! I love how they’ve decorated the space—it adds a rustic charm to the place. The food is solid too; I adored the elote and the pork tacos. They were both flavorsome and fresh. The service left a little to be desired but overall a pleasant dining experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" Came highly recommended, and I now understand why! Merkado has nailed the lively atmosphere while serving up some good eats. The ceviche and tacos were on point, but I felt some flavors could be even bolder. Still, the overall experience made it worth the visit, and I'm eager to come back with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" What an experience! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was electrifying with the 80's throwback music playing in the background. We opted for the taco Tuesday deal and were amazed by the variety and freshness of the toppings. While I found the portions a bit smaller than expected, we still left satisfied and happy. Definitely coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was excited to try Merkado given the buzz, but I left a bit disappointed. The food was decent, with highlights being the tacos and drinks, but the enchiladas fell flat. The service was prompt, yet the overall experience did not live up to the hype. I’m hoping for a better experience next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" Merkado is a vibrant escape from everyday life, offering a range of tantalizing dishes that left me craving more. The chips and a multitude of salsas were a treat, while my carne asada was perfectly cooked. Sadly, my experience was dampened by inattentive service at times. However, I will definitely return for the flavors and atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" Merkado offers a unique take on Mexican dishes that you don't often find elsewhere. I thoroughly enjoyed the ceviche and their innovative cocktails. The atmosphere is fantastic as well, perfect for celebrations or casual meet-ups. I can see my friends and I returning for the lively vibes and creative menu. Just a tad pricey, but worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had mixed feelings about my dinner at Merkado. While the guacamole was to die for, the mole chicken dish was overly salty. The environment is lively, which I appreciate, but the inconsistency in food quality was disappointing. I’d be open to giving it a second chance but with lower expectations. " (*Curated Review*)
