" The best taco experience I've ever had! My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here and loved it! Everything from the service to the atmosphere was delightful. The guacamole was by far the best I've had, and the carne asada tacos were just perfect. We couldn’t resist the churros for dessert either—it was heavenly! The only downside was that it was a tad noisy, but we did visit on a busy night. Highly recommend! " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried this place last week after a day at Universal Studios, and it’s perfect for unwinding. The drinks were strong and flavorful—I loved their spicy margarita! Next, we shared a few different tacos, and they were all amazing! The only drawback was the wait for a table, but once seated, every aspect of our meal was delightful. I left feeling satisfied and eager to come back and explore the rest of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" Mercado has quickly become one of my favorite Mexican spots! The flavors are so authentic, and the food is beautifully presented. I especially enjoy their happy hour menu—so many great options without breaking the bank. The service has always been attentive and friendly, making each visit special. There’s something about the ambiance that feels both relaxed and vibrant, making it perfect whether I’m on a date night or having dinner with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mercado redefines casual dining with a sophisticated twist! Our family visit left us delighted! The staff was cheerful and accommodating. I had the mole dish which was rich and bursting with flavors; a real highlight! The prices are on the higher side, but you really do get what you pay for in terms of quality and taste. Can’t recommend the cocktails enough, refreshing and innovative! This will definitely become a family favorite. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had a family gathering here and everyone had a splendid time. The service was friendly, and our waiter was a delight. The food came out quickly, and everything we tried was delicious, especially the carne asada. A couple of us thought the prices felt a bit steep but considering the quality and flavor, it was certainly worth it. I’d say the flan is a must-try as well. Will be back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved my experience at Mercado! The ambiance was lively without being overwhelming, and we were seated immediately upon arrival. I ordered the shrimp tacos, and they were bursting with flavor! The spices were just right. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and my drink was never empty. I can't wait to return and try more dishes—this place is a gem! Well worth the price for the quality offered. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had been looking forward to dining here after hearing rave reviews. While some dishes exceeded my expectations, notably the carne asada and their incredible churro ice cream, I felt the service could have been a bit more polished. We waited longer than expected for refills on our drinks, but the overall dining experience was enjoyable. The atmosphere is vibrant and great for a casual outing. Worth a visit but maybe during non-peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)
