The tacos are delicious. Got the fish taco and beef brisket one. Both good choices. Wasn't a fan of the drinks but that's personal preference.

Amazing food! We had the Pastor and the Pollo tacos, and a margarita.
by Amy S
Great margarita. Not too sweet and with a splash of Grand Mariner

Good cocktails and ceviche though it was all a bit over priced. Packed and loud upstairs on a Saturday night with a long wait, but downstairs is quiet and had more open tables.

by Travista C.
The tapas style restaurant has great food and drink menus, but the service, the ambiance and the energy are the must experience elements!
by Kevin M.
Go downstairs to Double A lounge and ask the bartender to make you a Mezcal old fashioned. Get there at 6p to grab one of the few stools or tables. And u can order tacos too - I like the Pastor.

The food is great and the classic and unique cocktails are both worth your time and money.
by Joseph Blewitt
Went here for cocktails, the place was completely empty servers standing around, they would not seat us if we were not going to eat. Good job turning away business when there is none.

Battered rock shrimp is spicy, but it's so delicious!

Lots of women in here that require heavy medication. I'd recommend eating alone and getting out alive before one of them tries to ruin your evening or persuade you to buy them a drink.

You can’t go wrong with Mercadito; both the food & drinks are amazing, particularly any of the tacos – if you can get a table.
by AskMen
All you can eat tacos after 11pm. The Camaron and Mole are excellent. Chile de Arbol will sneak up on you in the Pastor. YUM!
by Michael K
Try the auntie ox! Green Tea infused Vodka! Nice & refreshing.

Get the "hongos" tacos. They've got huitlacoche in them, aka corn smut. A Mexican delicacy. Trust me...good stuff.
by soypan
Great Deserts too!!

Great scene. Perfect for after work drinks.
by Blake A.
Hot tortas are the heartiest plates on the menu, served on crisp slabs of pressed telera, with a side of black bean puree, this time with napa cabbage, avocado and Oaxaca cheese.

by Marco M.
Mole guac is unreal! And the mahi (baja) tacos are fantastic!!
by Jennifer H.
Order the mango guac & camaron tacos. Be a badass and try not to gulp down a glass of water immediately after.

Weekend brunch/lunch has a new hangover cure special, three items from the menu and an alcoholic drink is $18/person, but everyone at the table has to participate.

Ask for a "spicy margarita". I did that, and I'm not sure what they gave me, but it was awesome!

Ceviche and fish tacos are the way to go. The Micheladas... not so much.
