Their accents was heavy , so you already the food was gonna be Bomb . Ordered the carna asada and costillas de res en salsa, and they were super good home-made dishes. Tortillas were freshly cooked, and the sauces on the side were not too spicy, so I could actually enjoy them flavors. Over all a 9 out of 10 for an authentic Guerrero Mexican foreign very criollo high-end restaurant.

Tacos El Mercadito may not look like much from the outside, but the food is absolutely amazing and the wait is very minimal. We waited less than 10 minutes for two large orders. There is limited seating inside but you can also take your food to go! The tacos are $2, a tamale is $2.50, and a side of rice or a side of beans is also $2. I ordered 2 tacos, a tamale, chips & salsa, and a side of rice for under $14 with a tip. Highly recommend trying the pork tamale! You can also purchase Mexican ingredients and groceries at this restaurant/shop.

Can’t say enough good things about this place! The atmosphere was beautiful, the workers were so sweet, and the food was amazingly priced! The tamales are probably the best I’ve ever had, im definitely gonna start going here more often!

In this restaurant I got good experience, I really love it. I can order fresh tamales made at this moment, chicken, or pork. We found beef soup with tortilla homemade. I recommend to visit that original Mexican ranch restaurant.

El Mercadito is THE authentic Mexican place for the burbs. I love having a place to get Menudo any day of the week. So good. You’ll know you’re in the right spot for lunch when you pull up and see all the trucks and trailers piled into the parking lot.

Great food. Awesome prices. The service is great. The street tacos were tasty. The el pastor has tons of flavor. The steak and chicken were so good. I also had a gordita. Very good. This store is also a market. Come in and seat yourself.

Pretty authentic Mexican food. Yery small inside lots of Mexican products for sale, food, goods etc. Not a fancy restaurant but more of hole in the wall. Seats maybe 24 people. Crowded at lunch time during the week with mostly Mexican workers on lunch break.

You can’t go wrong with authentic tacos al pastor! I also tried the sopes (al pastor of course!) and wasn’t disappointed. Service was friendly, salsa was spicy, food was overall delicious; what more can you ask for in a taco restaurant?
