Some of the best tacos I’ve ever had! The steak tacos get a 10/10 from me. The chicken and fish tacos were also delicious. The chips & mango guacamole were incredible. Mercadito is officially on my favorites list.

Delicious food. A Mexican food restaurant but with a new style. Drinks were incredible! Definitely will come back. During the weekends try to get a reservation if you're planning to go here.
The service from the waiters could be better though.

The food and service here is 10/10. Really saucy and delicious tacos and mango guacamole. However this place is LOUD. You have to yell to be able to talk to your date and even then you can only catch 3/4 of what they’re saying. Maybe it’s different on a lower key night (I was there on a Friday night)
The other thing was that we made a reservation and still had to wait almost 30 mins for a table. This probably wasn’t the servers fault though (you can’t really ask people to leave when they’re done with their meal)
Great margaritas

Two thumbs up. We were a table of 3, ordered 7 items and was served and out the door in 40 minutes in a Saturday night at 6:45pm. That was incredible service. This place was very lively and loud. A bit upscale so avoid jeans or shorts. I did not see kids inside but saw a family outside with the kids eating Mac and Cheese. My favorite was the mango guacamole as well as the spicy sweet corn. Dishes are moderately sized. I suggest getting a variety of items and sharing. Plenty of veg options.

Had a lot of fun, the waiters and staff were super kind, friendly, and on it! As soon as my water hit below half in my glass, they'd run to refill. The food was amazing, some items under botanas were huge and could be a single meal for some. I enjoyed the Flautas and the queso fundido with chorizo. Super delicious and tastes authentic. My brother was a fan of the tomatillo salsa and kept asking for more. He enjoyed it with his Carne tacos on a house-made tortilla. The chips and guac were also a family favorite. The guac tasted fresh and had a little kick to it in the aftertaste. The chips were perfectly thick and crunchy but at the same time warm and soft. They were also perfectly salted. 3 of us had a pepino margarita, and the presentation was just beautiful. We had shots and soft drinks as well. Overall everything was amazing and would definitely be back again to celebrate any minor or major win in my life haha! Spent a little over $500 including tip and multiple rounds of guac for a family of 6 with big appetites.

I would give 5 for the food.They have delicious mouth watering tacos, drinks, and other food here.
The service I would give 3 to 2 stars only.
We dined in a party of 9, 3 of us had to squeezed in one very small table despite of our tons of orders. I kept asking our waitress for a table or a chair atleast for the 3rd person and she kept saying no! There are vacant chairs and tables around.The waitress was also strict where our friend will put his coat. So we had our friend sat awkwardly in the long chair and put his coal behind my already small chair.. it just felt weird and not right. We just decided to ignore it and enjoy our night. I just have this need of leaving an honest review about it so it won't happen again, and management would teach their waitress not to treat people like they are in the canteen or in just a cheap restaurant, because The restaurants was in a great location and offers delicious food, it has potential to look classy. Just do something about the attitude of the staff so it will radiate classy atmosphere.
I am only posting photos of the food and drinks that what I had, not including the food and drinks of the rest of our party.
June 9, 2022- we ate here because we love the food and it didn't disappoint us. The service was nice and fast. We were seated outside so we are comfortable, it looks like they gave enough spaces between tables inside of the restaurants. Our food attendants was nice. Changed 4 to 5 stars.

Individual from Southern California I was not expecting the Mexican food in Chicago to be this good. The passion fruit ceviche was great and the tacos were really yummy. We got the carne asada and the pastor tacos. The salsa just wasn't really that spicy which was kind of a shame. Even the ghost pepper one that they said was supposed to be really really hot just really was lacking. I would just go for the tomatillo because that was really great. The habanero Margarita was actually quite good and asked for it extra spicy. The flan was just mediocre. Would for sure go back for the tacos.

Excellent Mexican food. The variety of tacos, and applications is really strong. They also do an excellent job at the bar. Service was outstanding and places were reasonable.

A fun and upscale Mexican restaurant, which honestly was a refreshing experience. The flavored margaritas are just beyond awesome here and a must try. I'll also recommend the tacos, they are very fresh tasting. Infact everything Mercadito offered was fresh and new, and wasn't like your run of the mill Mexican place at all.

Food was good and tasty drink same as good. We got to round of the same drink and two dishes( pescadilla, street quesadilla, I forgot to take pictures it was to good). I think it was little pricey $103, for two people. But I guess is ok for an anniversary celebration.(You also need to show Validation of Covid vaccine)
