Lovely people, enjoyed my time. Food was super good, definitely add to bucket list. <3

Such a cute, cozy joint with a great vibe! Traditional Mexican cuisine with a modern twist. Food and drinks (specifically the "Ay Madre") were delicious!!! The tortillas had me reminiscing of being sent to the tortilleria by my abuelita 🤤 The staff was incredibly welcoming and the live music was a great touch! Would definitely go back!

I’m Mexican and I can tell you this place is really good. The empanadas, quesadillas, chicken quesadillas, camarones a la diablada… everything. The cocktails are very good as well. This is more like fine dining so it’s a very nice experience. We love to go there.

Alejandro helped making our experience an excellent one! The food is great, the cocktails are great, live music is great. Second time we went there and definitely many more visits in the future. RECOMMEND

Great place and more important great service by all that work there .

I was really excited about going to El Mercado. Overall, the food was just OK, the service mediocre, and I felt the whole experience lacked the 'oomph' I was expecting given the cost. I may try it again to see if it is better a second time.

I recommend their cauliflower dish or their guacamole & chips as an appetizer, super yummy!

Such a fun and delicious place! Food was yummy and beautifully plated! Service was also attentive and kind

This place was absolutely great. Unique takes on cocktails. Traditional Oaxacan dishes, a great space and super service

I went there looking for a Michelin experience. I knew it was not a Michelin star. Nonetheless I was hoping for something more. Location is very good, and I really enjoyed it. The food on the other end it was just okay. Only mention might go to the coconut sorbet.. all the rest it was dull. Definitely not the sort of food experience I was looking for.
