The restaurant is very nice as far as ambiance. Drinks were good, tacos good. Beans & rice were bland. I felt like the waitress was stretched as we had to wait awhile to order, and it also took awhile to receive a second round of drinks. We had to speak with the manager & he did give us that round of drinks for free.

Mercadito never misses to amaze me with their flavors. Always great!

It was fun as usual. Omar our server was super.

Excellent food fast service

Good, well made food, service is great!
Wish the area by the windows didn’t feel so secluded or dark.
But overall good place to eat with large groups or just a date.
Drinks are also delish!

Great atmosphere and food! We went for Mexican Independence week and the food was great! Loved the fresh pomegranate guacamole, chile de nogada and the pozole rojo! We sat outside on the patio and it was very comfortable with heat lamps and carnival lights.

Amazing place and food was delicious! Everyone on staff was attentive, except for the host that night. I had a reservation and my party arrived before me and he even said the host was a bit pretentious but other that everything was great. The waiter was exceptional with both of us and then there was another lady assuring that we were accommodated and having a great time. Splendid place and will come back again for sure!

Great experience! This place offers a flavorful twist on foods and it is AMAZING!

Our server was awesome! He was easy to talk to, gave great recommendations and went out of his way to ensure we had a nice evening.

Food was good but service was awful. Our waiter never really checked up on us to see if we needed anything else.

Sat outside. It was the perfect weather. The staff was super friendly from our first steps in, and all the way through our dinner. I'd definitely return again. Hopefully, their full menu and cocktail menu is up!

Food was good and quick. Would prefer for the waiter to not hover when I'm getting my money out considering all interactions require patrons to have on masks as well.

This is one of my favorite spots. I love everything about it. The owner Darryl even comes around and introduces himself and ask how the service was. That’s top tier service for sure!

Every single option on the menu is delicious! It can be a bit crowded normally, but was much less busy because of Covid, which was nice because it was also quieter.

It’s pretty upsetting when you get your food 15 min after the whole table is done eating. For it to have been a Sunday, it wasn’t that busy although it did seem that the restaurant was short staffed. t’s also upsetting that they automatically set a tip amount of 20 % and up. So the customer doesn’t get a choice to decide based on the service provided? In my opinion, the busboy deserved the whole tip because he was attentive to our table and to others.

I enjoyed my time at Mercadito’s, I was celebrating my birthday and the food was great as well the ambiance. The manager was really nice, I can’t remember his name. There was a misunderstanding, with one of the waiters but he was able to resolve it quickly. He was very professional, and came to the table to say Happy Birthday !!!! I’ll definitely, be going back the music was also great. This is the perfect spot, for date night, birthdays , or girls night out.

Awesome Awesome Awesome

This is a great location, decor, food and drinks!

The inside of the place is beautiful! tables were far enough apart where we didn’t hear other conversations and felt safe with everything going on. Server was very nice and food came quick and was great! Margaritas were good as well.

Had a good time food and drinks where the best.

Margaritas were excellent

Was impressed after seeing this restaurant on WGN channel 9. Had shrimp tacos very good, will return.

Food was great and even the drinks, but service was terrible. Server had an attitude, yes I understand the new law requiring guest to wear mask when interacting with employees but server was rude to tell us that. Then a table sat in the patio and I’m guessing it was a worker of the place and we saw as she gave them the best service. I was expecting the same service and her whole mood changed when ever she came to our table. As a server you should read the table, my guest and I were on a date, talking, taking our time eating and drinking. We never asked for the check because we wanted to get another drink, but she brought it still. I was planning to have a great dining experience, not to feel unwelcome.

Have always had a great experience here - ambience, service, food/drinks, COVID-19 safety protocols, etc. were perfect. Would highly recommend for a date, birthday, special occasion.

Great food and good music!

Amazing Mexican food and impeccable service. One of our favorite restaurants in Chicago.

Always love the flautas, margaritas, and tradicional guacamole.

Best Mexican food and drinks in the city!! Try the sopes (if on the menu) and street quesadillas!

The pollo tacos were great! Check your receipt thoroughly before paying.

Everything was perfect

Always good, very fast service

Amazing experience! The food was even better than we remembered and the service was fantastic!

The meat was awful. We felt super rushed from the second we sat down. The food was a huge disappointment.

Great! great!!

Always great service and the mushroom tacos was an excellent choice for the pickiest Vegiterian!

Was getting rush yo eat it seem like! I understand it’s COVID but my family is paying customer as well! We were never there a hour! I will never return again!

Food was amazing!
