Mercadito

Mercadito was truly the highlight of our trip! The service was excellent and the food was great! Sabrina was our server she was super personable, very attentive and made great suggestions. Very fun environment and staff. We WILL be back and we can't wait!

Everything tasted great. Service was very good and all the dishes came out so fast! They were lacking a selection of cocktails that didn’t have tequila which was disappointing but everything else about the experience was great

Everything about Mercadito is amazing! It's clean, the atmosphere was BEAUTIFUL, the waitress was a complete sweetheart and she answered every question I had. She was knowledgeable about the menu as well. The food I ordered was DELICIOUS and I will be going back. It was a great place to celebrate my birthday. Thank you for my surprise birthday dessert. That was exquisite too !

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience here! Our server, Sabrina, was absolutely wonderful. She guided us through both the food and drink menus with great recommendations — everything she suggested was delicious. On top of that, she went out of her way to share tips on fun things to do in the area since we’re visiting from out of town. Her kindness and hospitality truly made our meal special. Highly recommend this restaurant, and definitely ask for Sabrina!

Excellent Customer Service! The food was amazing! Our server was Samantha she was so sweet to us for my mom’s birthday. She was really patient while we’re were ordering and she made sure to recommend us the best on the menu. Absolutely adored the Lobster tacos.

Went to Mercadito in River North and the tacos surprised me. I got the al pastor and the pork was packed with flavor, tender, smoky-sweet, and just enough spice. The pineapple chunks hit the right balance, juicy without taking over. Meat had that crisp edge that makes every bite better. Topped with cilantro and onions. Honestly, I could've kept eating them. The only thing that didn’t wow me was the tortillas. Not bad, just kinda basic. For a spot like this, I was expecting something a little more special, but they didn’t distract too much from how good the filling was. Place itself is pretty loud, like you have to lean in to hear your friends. Normally that bugs me, but here it felt part of the vibe. Service was quick, food came out hot. All in all, those tacos made it worth it.

We had an absolute wonderful meal celebrating my son’s birthday. Everything was fresh, full of flavor and cooked to perfection! The most authentic Mexican restaurant we have ever been to. Our server Luis was impressive! He explained every dish, recommended what he thought was their best meals. He quick, on point and genuinely friendly. He brought out the most perfect dessert for my son’s birthday after we finished dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone who is in Chicago for dinner. We will definitely be back! And ask for Luis, he’s the best!

Beautifully curated large Mexican restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. The drinks are very good, as is the fresh guacamole! We enjoyed the spicy margaritas along with our chips and salsa. We had the fish tacos which were cooked well and were very tasty.
