This restaurant is definitely a vibe and ideal for larger parties. The music play list is great (maybe too loud) and the food was good! Highly recommend ordering the guacamole and Carne Asada!
Mercado is a must visit, most places don't have all 3 of these:
1. Good Drinks
2. Good Guac
3. Good Food
Mercado checked all 3 boxes. The guac was perfect,v the chips plentiful, the tacos delicious and not dry. The drinks were flavorful and creative and the service can't be beat.

Reliable delicious tacos and more! Before I go on I MUST rave about their Tres Leches cake. You don’t have to eat it first but remember to save room and definitely get it!!! They also have good cocktails and get the guacamole and chips to start. With a variety of well-made Mexican classics, Mercado is never a bad choice.

Parked in the street behind the building. No wait when we got there to be seated. Community seating is interesting. Server and waitress was fine. Do appreciate the small touches like asking if we need straws. Food was DELICIOUS - worth the price. Tri tip was perfectly medium rare. I'm not sure if it was the manager who came by at some point to ask us how we were doing and if we needed a box to go, but he was really nice! We also got a free dessert since we were first time customers - really tasty flan with a bit of infused alcohol in it maybe? Would come again.

Good food for brunch, rich comfort food like French toast and healthy fare all with an upscale ambiance without being pretentious.

I came here for happy hour and it was absolutely incredible. They had an extensive happy hour menu such as poke tacos with jicama, beautiful cocktails, queso to dip, and calabasas like mom used to make. It was a little overpriced, but I enjoyed everything there. They also had a delicious carnitas taco that was incredible and I live in ELA! Well done, cute ambiance! Also, just go for the valet. Parking sucks.

Food was incredible, tried 3 different dishes with my friends and each was delicious and well presented.
The spicy margaritas were also quite good

The Mercados are one of my favorite restaurants in LA. The quality and flavor of their food is unparalleled. You can understand that from the plain chips and guacamole. They are to die for. My favourite dish of theirs is the carnitas. I am mindblown every single time by the tenderness and flavor of the meat. Even their tortillas are incredible. To top it off they have some incredible and innovative cocktails. Super highly recommended.

Excellent Happy Hour here on a Tuesday . Really glad I came here . Got a Mercado Margarita from the HH menu for $8 but the special Guava margarita was really special ! Get that one , it has a depth of flavor .Get the grilled fish tacos appetizer . Be sure to ask for the grilled one, it had a delicious charcoal grill taste as did my salmon main dish with good mashed potatoes. This place is a cut above the rest Get the flan for dessert , it had a strong rum sauce on it . This thing was delicious ! The waiters are really nice too. Definite 5 stars for the service .
