Excellent food. We had the Pupusas and chicken tacos. Authentic atmosphere and friendly service. Will definitely be back to this great find.
Dropped in for lunch a couple weeks ago and it was my first visit. Outstanding!! Had the papusas and tortilla soup. I’m a soup fanatic and the tortilla soup was fantastic!! Only minor complaint is the service was slow for a lunch crowd.
Mercadito Latino is a small family owned restaurant. Since it’s a small family restaurant, it’s never well-staffed, hence, the service is relatively slow. Even though the restaurant feels like it’s a hole in the wall, I keep on going back because they serve the BEST Latino food in the City! The food is nothing but excellent!I can honestly tell you that Mercadito is significantly much better than La Fiesta Cafecito if you’re debating between the two places. If you are looking for an authentic Latino restaurant, this is the place!Here are my food recommendations:1) Sopa de Tortilla (Tortilla Soup)2) Tacos des Res (Beef Taco) – My Go-to for entree3) Pupusas – my Significant Other’s Go-to for entree4) Corn Tamale (appetizer)5) Quesadilla des Res – They serve the BEST quesadilla ever!Only if I can eat 10 meals in one seating, I would order everything off the whole menu!Overcall, this restaurant is highly recommended!Attire: casual
Everything is amazing: tortilla soup, papusas, tamales. Best coleslaw ever. Be prepared to wait for your food, but it sure is worth it. Admittedly I don’t know anything about El Salvadoran food, but this place feels authentic and you can tell the owner/server/cook really cares about the food.
Quite the place! A tiny restaurant inside a tiny market that makes exceptional food. When the tacos de pollo were served to me, I could smell the pico de gallo and could immediately notice that it was freshly prepared. Of note, the place does not take credit cards so bring cash or be prepared to pay 25 cents for the interac.
Took my son for dinner there as we decided to walk the neighborhood and see what we could find. We walked past it without noticing it but as we were on our way back we noticed it and could smell something good . Small place, charming pleasant owners. I honestly can’t remember what we had, my son had a chicken dish, and I had pork. All I can say is it’s bad table manners to lick your plate clean….but we did! Wow was that great Mexican food! Highly recommend this to everyone!
I think there is no place in the city like Mercadito Latino. I mean that in the best way possible. The horchata, pupusas and quesadillas are amazing. That is what the chef / server (one man operation) recommended on our first visit and it kept me coming back. It does take a while for the food but trust me it’s worth it.
