The food in the restaurant is fantastic. Two of my favorites are the beef burrito and the garlic butter shrimp. Try it with the green sauce.

With family pictures coming up and needing specific items so we can all match it turned into a long and tiring day at the mall and traffic to get home was bad. Everything in the food court was overpriced and nothing sounded good. So driving we originally were going to go to frugals but the line was insanely long and then I saw El Mercado and I was happy because I always want Mexican food. This place is a little supermarket that has a butcher, traditional pastries, produce and many more items and in the back theres a little kitchen cranking out some Mexican specialities from tacos to burritos and Tortas and desserts as well. We were hungry but the wait wasn't long. We got our son a quesadilla they were out of fries so he went with beans as a side instead and he demolished his plate. My husband went with the Cali burrito and I went with the torta with carne asada and we shared a cantaloupe aqua Fresca which was so refreshing and delicious. Both the torta and burrito came with salsa, mine was a red salsa and my husbands was green it had a creamy smooth consistency with a kick- very good. Service was good and food was good would stop by again if I'm the area.

I had a lash appt at Peter's Salon and I thought I'd check this place out afterwards, I was so happy I did. I went straight for the restaurant area and ordered 2 chile rellenos to-go and a cold pineapple juice. It was perfect! Especially since I had to run errands that day and I forgot to bring my water bottle, this juice saved me!! The chile rellenos were really savory, the beans and rice portion was smaller then what I'm used to seeing from other restaurants like Puerto Vallarta or Moctezumas but the flavor was there and honestly I shouldn't be eating a bunch of carbs anyways :p Great options and close to home so I'm definitely gonna come here again.

Great little grocery store. Came in while we were trying to stop by Joanns but they were packed so decided to do our grocery shopping here. Has a bunch of fresh vegetables, meat counter in the back, restaurant on the side (That makes a deliciously spicy and creamy salsa verde). Their meat and bones of course is the variety and Latin/Spanish goods including some fresh panaderias towards the front counter. Cost was low (I swear I pay at least 1.5x more at Safeway or Fred Meyers). Support a local business and shop here if you can.

This review is for the restaurant AND the store. First, the tacos were absolutely delicious and a great mix of salsas to go with! The store has good prices and a good diverse selection of everything Latin product wise. There is also a carnicería inside with great meat (not rotten like someone else said, that we experienced at least). I definitely recommend trying this place. It's almost a one-stop shop!
