" Mercado holds a special place in my heart—great food and fantastic drinks! While some might find their style a little fusion, I think they do a great job of bringing creativity to classic dishes. The street corn was a hit, and I loved the unique mezcal offerings they have. The ambience is dynamic and suitable for both family dinners or a casual catch-up with friends. Consistently recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a pretty solid time at Mercado! The atmosphere is vibrant, and it feels trendy, making it great for a night out. However, the food was a bit hit-or-miss. While I loved the tacos, the guacamole we ordered was not that fresh. The service was decent, with staff checking in frequently. I would definitely consider returning, but I hope for better food consistency. A fun spot nonetheless! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mercado provided a beautiful dining experience. I loved the atmosphere, perfect for date night! The food was excellent; I especially enjoyed the empanadas they offer. They are such a charming place to visit, plus the interior design was inviting and made me feel cozy. I went on a Wednesday, so it wasn't as packed, which made our meal all the better. I highly recommend trying their drinks as well; they’re equally delicious! " (*Curated Review*)

" While I had a good time at Mercado, I think it could use some improvements. The service was friendly but a bit slow, especially during peak hours, which took away from my experience. I enjoyed my taco but expected more authenticity and flavor—perhaps a little more spice would boost the dish! Despite these small setbacks, I felt the overall experience was satisfactory enough to give it another go. " (*Curated Review*)

" I really enjoyed my meal at Mercado! The service was prompt and friendly, and the food had a lot of fresh flavors. The tacos were definitely worth ordering; they had a creative twist that made them enjoyable. I will say that my only critique was the noise level inside—it was a bit high, which made conversation challenging. Overall, a solid experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I must admit, my visit to Mercado was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was pretty cool, but the service was slower than expected for a busy Friday night. I felt it took forever to get our appetizers and drinks served. The food was generally tasty, but some of the dishes felt a bit too far from traditional Mexican cuisine, which I was hoping for given the rave reviews. I may return, but I'm hoping for a more authentic experience next time around. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mercado was recommended by a friend, and I must say, it did not disappoint! The chips and salsa were fresh and delicious, even the way they made traditional dishes shone through. I tried their signature tacos and was pleased with the generous portions and rich flavors. We had a little wait for our food, but the staff was very friendly and kept us entertained with their recommendations. I’ll definitely come back for another round! " (*Curated Review*)
