" My friends and I popped in for a quick dinner, and it's fair to say that we were impressed! The variety of dishes on the menu was great, and we sampled a bit of everything from tacos to dessert. The service was quick and cheerful. I must mention that the churro ice cream was a highlight for everyone. I think we found our new go-to spot after a long day of museum hopping! " (*Curated Review*)

" Went for brunch with my friends. The environment is so lively and fun! The food was delicious; I opted for the chilaquiles which were top-notch. Service was friendly enough, although we waited a little longer than we’d hoped for the bills. Overall, a great experience! I loved the fresh ingredients and flavors—totally recommend for anyone looking for a good brunch spot in the area. " (*Curated Review*)

" Mercado is worth every cent! Seriously, the food was bursting with flavor. I had the chicken mole and it was one of the best I've had. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, perfect for a date night. Despite being busy, our server was attentive and made great recommendations. The only downside was that it got a bit crowded, but that’s expected. Definitely plan to return soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" My family loves Mercado! We came for dinner after our trip to Universal, and the whole experience was fantastic. Their happy hour keeps us coming back for more. The food is authentically Mexican, and the service is attentive without being pushy. My kids enjoyed their meals, and I was impressed with the vegetarian options as well. Can’t wait to return next time we visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" After a long day at Universal Studios, my family decided to try Mercado, and we were not disappointed. The ambiance is fantastic—bright, cheerful, and just the right volume for conversation. We ordered a mix of tacos, and honestly, every single one was delicious. The service was top notch; our waiter made sure everything was to our liking. The only downside was that the portion sizes were a bit smaller than expected. Still, everything was flavorful and worth it! " (*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*)
