The Mexican martini was fantastic, and there are plenty of vegetarian options to choose from!

The staff is fantastic and friendly; they always remember us and greet us warmly. I just wish they would bring back the burger on the kids' menu.

While the food and drinks had dipped in quality over the past few years, I'm delighted to say they're back to their former excellence! We had exceptional service on Saturday, and I wish I could recall the name of the gentleman who attended to us. I believe he was the bartender that day, as he was crafting all the drinks and did a remarkable job! He regularly checked in on us, and everything was fantastic. I ordered the Hook Em Hornitos martini and the Baja plate, while my husband had some beers and the burrito. Everything was delicious, just like it used to be, and I’m so happy to see the quality restored! The prices are reasonable and truly reflect the quality and portion sizes you receive. Thank you, El Mercado, and I sincerely hope you thrive for many more years to come!
