    Food was so average. Disappointing. Everything covered in mayo. The margaritas were like sugar water and it costs $20 more to make the pitcher spicy. Seems hefty for some spice. I ordered a tostada twice and they dumped mayo on it and it was so salty asked for it without the mayo and they couldn’t get it right. I gave up.

    Chicken skewers and street corn were particularly good. Server was attentive and kind. Food was fast to the table. Great choice for a pre-Dad’s Garage show. We easily had time to walk over.

    We were a party of 5 and ordered a variety of tapas. I would say most were good or very good. It was a good choice for folks who want a good amount of vegetarian options.

    There were 3 of us dining for taco night. The rice and beans side dish came out with the guacamole. Two of the three main courses came. The third never came until we alerted another server. The kitchen knew nothing about it and we were asked for the order again. The third person had to eat after we were done eating. Rice and beans were cold since we waited to eat them with the main dish. No apology from bar tender/server. If you can’t remember the order by heart (which is understandable), please write it down. I have dined here many times. Always had a great experience so will make sure to give it another chance.

    Got a reservation for Sunday brunch when they opened and it wasn't necessary! We started out with the house mimosas, the guava was great! We shared the Mac and cheese and elote and both were very tasty. I had the empanada platter and all three were delicious. The other two in my party enjoyed the divorciados. Service was quick and attentive. It was nice to get a different take on Sunday brunch and it not be overcrowded.

    Great service, good ingredients, but the food was not good. The salsa was just lemon, onions, and garlic with a hint of tomato. Everything else had way too much lemon.

    Rope Veija was very good. Tapas was just fair. Service was just fair. We ordered cocktails when the food was brought to the table, and it took so long for the drinks to arrive we figured they were forgotten. They finally arrived after the meal while we were waiting for the check. So, we enjoyed the drinks at the table without food after we paid the check. At least they weren't trying to rush us out of there.

    We've been to Bar Mercado many times but we had the best dinner and service on our last visit. We went on a Wednesday for dinner and had the pleasure of dining on the patio with our dogs. Our server (I can't remember her name, which makes me sad) but she was AMAZING! She was friendly, attentive and all around a pleasure to be around. Every employee from host, servers, food runners and so on were so friendly and made the experience top notch. We can't wait to come back and dine again!

    Everything about Bar Mercardo was great! Asha the bartender were so friendly and the drinks were delicious. The food was terrific - we had the trio dip (guac, queso, salsa) cauliflower, papas, street corn and the chicken, beef, and shrimp tacos (yep we're greedy :-) ... all delicious! Parking Situation BE AWARE - I parked in the paid parking and went over the time by 15 minutes, laughing and eating it just slipped my mind. I thought I'd be able to just pay for the overage but was booted instead. The writing on the parking sign about being booted if over on the time was so small I didn't see it. Needless to say there were 10 other cars booted as well. I guess i'm in the wrong business - i should be booting cars and making $750 an hour. Anyway I paid, had it removed and went on my merry way. Be sure to have the parking messages come to your phone not your email or PAY THE PRICE! It would be nice if the eateries would have a sign to this affect but anyway I had fun and will return.

    Environment was less than clean, very worn, in need of a good clean up and a refresh. Food was just fair. For the price, it was only fair. For a $60 per person brunch it doesn't compare to other choices in Atlanta. Flavors were good but details like the smashed crispy potatoes--NOT crispy-great sauce though. Chicken- too much breading and dry and they forgot the strawberries, steak tasted aged but not in a good way, drinks--$15 for a bloody mary, really?

    This is one of my go to Atlanta spots! The team working there is an excellent group. Love the tapas menu, always excited to try the new things. Spicy margaritas are so good. I’ve been there a dozen times and it will stay in the regular rotation! I’ve brought people here with a variety of different dietary restrictions, they always have options for everyone. We are always surprised at how small our bill is, the value and flavors are just so stellar!

    Everything was very good except the cocktails. I’ve tried several different margaritas here. I’ve yet to find one I liked. Also, from the main dining area, the sound of the blender in the kitchen was annoying.

    Why restaurants continue to just have one person at the bar when they could be making so much money with two bartenders is a mystery. One bartender took 10 to 15 minutes to get drinks out. I know most places are understaffed but this is clearly a place that restaurants can make more money if they pushed out more product. Anyway, the food was good as we ordered the shrimp, pork, chicken and three or four ribeyes or good except one was extremely fatty and the meat overall was tough for all ribeyes. Was probably not ribeye, it was some other type of sirloin as ribeye would have been much more tender. Service at the table was okay, and he was trying but was having a hard time keeping up. The two shrimp entrees came out first and then the pork entre about 10 minutes later and then the chicken 5 to 10 minutes later and then four ribeyes came out about 15 minutes later and everybody was waiting, so about 30 minutes in between the 1st and the last meal being delivered was awkward.
