" I can't rave enough about the tacos here! El Mercadito serves food that really brings a taste of Mexico to Virginia. The portion sizes are generous, and the prices are reasonable. I'd highly recommend the chorizo tacos! I only wish they had more seating available to accommodate the demand. " (*Curated Review*)

" Delicious tacos that remind me of home! I ordered the carne asada tacos with a side of rice, which was perfectly cooked. The portions are generous, and I felt like I definitely got my money’s worth. The only downside is the light traffic, it took a little while for my food to be ready, but I can't complain about the taste! It was absolutely worth the wait. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited El Mercadito last week and had a great time. The chicken burrito was packed with flavor, but I noticed that the lettuce was wilted and could have been fresher. Overall, though, the service was attentive, and I appreciated the cleanliness of the restaurant. " (*Curated Review*)

" What a hidden gem! I had heard about El Mercadito from a friend and decided to give it a try. When I arrived, I was greeted warmly by the staff, who were very helpful in guiding me through the menu. I ordered multiple tacos and was impressed by the hefty portions they served. I could barely finish them! The flavors were spot-on—just the right amount of spices and freshness. My only tip is to table your expectations if you prefer a fancy dining experience; it leans more casual. Overall, this is now my go-to spot for Mexican food in the area! " (*Curated Review*)

" El Mercadito is undoubtedly a location worth visiting! From the moment I entered, I was welcomed by vibrant decor reminiscent of Mexican culture. I tried one of their quesadillas, filled to the brim, and it was one of the best I've ever had! The cheese was melty and delicious, and the addition of fresh guacamole made it even better. The prices reflect the generous portions, making it quite the value for money. Overall, I can't wait for my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having just moved to the area, I was excited to try El Mercadito. I loved the homemade feel of the food! I ordered the torta, and it was deliciousness on a plate! The only minor critique would be that the service was a bit slow, but it was worth the wait for the wonderful food. I’ll be back for sure! " (*Curated Review*)

" This place was recommended by a friend, and it definitely lived up to the hype! The variety of tacos available was impressive, and each one delivered on taste. The only downside was that the seating is somewhat limited, which could be a problem during busy hours. Regardless, I can’t wait to go back! " (*Curated Review*)
