TL;DR: This is one of the best high quality Mexican restaurants in Southern California. This is an excellent quality craftsmanship Mexican culinary experience that is hard to beat. Order the guacamole, this is a must. I also recommend the fillet cup on Tacos or the Mol enchiladas. Absolutely one of my favorite Mexican restaurants experiences, hands down. Food and drink are unlike many Mexican restaurants I've ever had. At the beginning, the drinks are carefully prepared with good amounts of alcohol, or once again, and they are away from many artificial fillers. Delicious! The food is on another level. Everything seems to have been done from scratch. It is also well presented. The guacamole i...
I can?t not give this place a 5-star review. I?m in town for a conference and had to get away by myself for the evening. Found this place and just wanted to sit at the bar, drink a margarita and eat some food. But it was packed. Not a seat available! I had totally forgotten that it?s Cinco de Mayo. ?? Manager was outstanding. Squeezed me in between two reservations. I wasn?t allowed to linger, but that was fine by me on this occasion. I had items off their special holiday menu. Ceviche was fresh, spicy (almost too much) and delicious. I had striped bass with beautifully grilled vegetables, rice and sauce. That was outstanding. I enjoyed the special blood orange margarita. It might not have h...
4.5. 5. Increased Mexican comfort food with increased prices. Guacamole with tortilla chips: well presented, pieces of avocado, crispy baked chips. Tacos: Pig meat was good, Steak was better. Beware of the ceviche spicy carrot. At about $9 USD per Taco (2 per order) it could be a little hard to wrap the mind, especially the 4 tacos mentioned above will give you $37. Mezcal Margarita: decent.
This is a wonderful Mexican restaurant with good options for every type of water carnivores, omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans. I tried the Chile rellino and I was pleasantly surprised because it came in soup/broth. The guacamole was fresh and excellent. The chips were perfectly salted. Next time I will have to try dessert here, because apparently it has the best flan in town!

Santa Monica's hidden jewel! Great service, delicious food and certainly the best refined Mexican food in the whole area. Authentic and tasty from beginners to desert, with the best margaritas! On 5 days stay in the area, it was a must to come and enjoy this place at least twice! Mercado, we'll miss you!!
Mercado is a great restraint with an awesome vibe. The food was great. The mix drink were a good pairing. Staff was helpful and courteous. We were there at open on a Thursday, it was not super full but could definitely see it pick up shortly after open.
We went to Mercado for a nice dinner while staying in Santa Monica and the food was AMAZING! Delicious cocktail menu with a great Tequila selection and so many amazing meal options. Service was excellent, definitely worth the trip for us!
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.

My wife and I and my dog Leo had a great dinner tonight. Some of the best food we have? ve had during in the city. Mike was also a big server. I will definitely come back.
Very good place, nice people very good choice for the menus. Placed in the 4th street close to Santa Monica avenue you will find an open space with tables and bar.
