What Dovile Vitonyte likes about Mercado:
Really great place! Delicious food, amazing margaritas, and great service. Top! Will definitely come back. We had fish of the day, and carnitas, and it was super tasty : View all feedback. What Ella N doesn't like about Mercado:
The food is really good, but not traditional Mexican food. But one thing to be prepared for is the host, he has a really rude resting face and doesn’t smile when you first walk in and it is honestly really unwelcoming and kinda weird. View all feedback.
