We booked a party of about 10 people for a bday and from the minute we walked in we felt at home. There was no wait due to our reservation. Our waitress Tania was amazing from the start. She was so attentive to our party as if we were her only table and being it was a Saturday night I'm sure we weren't. She right away started us off suggesting some of her favorite appetizers and drinks. She made it a point to keep checking on us and make sure we weren't missing anything. The food was great the ambiance was amazing and we def look forward to getting back.

Server Tania did a great job taking care of me and my friend making sure our food was fine and asking us if we wanted anything else. Tania keep doing an amazing service I will be back at make sure to ask for you.

Came here for Saturday brunch with some friends and I had an amazing time! I'm already planning my next brunch here. Some people in my party were running late, and unfortunately they don't seat guests until the entire party arrives. This is always a bit annoying, but we were able to sit at the bar and get some drinks while we waited. Most of us ended up doing the bottomless special because it was national margarita day so it was only right. Everything I ate was so good! I got esquites, the guac, and short rib quesabirria. All of my friends enjoyed their meals and we left happy! Can't wait to come back!

The ambiance and service is great. The waitress and hostess were very nice and we were seated immediately. We were there for a birthday and got bottomless and it was totally worth it since it includes mimosas, bloody Mary's, and a few others. My only negative was that with the chilaquiles you had to pay an additional $2 if you wanted egg which I haven't seen before.

We went here for Chicago restaurant week and we're loving the food. I also loved they had gluten-free items clearly marked The place was hopping when we were there and I would definitely come back The place was cool inside and the service was great

Cute and aesthetic place. The staff were very accommodating to changing our party size on a Wednesday night. We did a trip of little salsas and the tomatillo salsa was the only one mild enough for me to eat, but it was pretty good. We also did the traditional guac which had a little bit of a kick and was just ok. The short rib Quesabirrias were excellent - favorite app for sure - they were cheesy and the juice was really good. The chorizo queso fundido was also really good with a little bit of kick but nothing too spicy. For mains we did a few tacos and the esquites. The esquites were kind of wet but I still really liked them. The best tacos were definitely the carne. The pastor were just ok - not super flavorful. And I wasn't a big fan of the brisket - it was kind of smoky, but didn't really work for me in a taco.

Really enjoyed my date at Mercadito. Super cute atmosphere. Definitely a get dressed and add a heel type of vibe. Service was great. Attentive, polite, quick. I order lobster tacos and omg they did not disappoint. So delicious! I would go back again and again just for those. Usually I don't feel like lobster has too much of a taste, but they dressed this taco to perfection. Everything on it was a perfect pair. We also ordered sides of elote and rice. I loveee elote and it was so tasty. Had a couple of drinks. 1st was a pineapple "lemon" drop. Totally didn't know you could change the flavor on that drink. Pineapple was good but I'll go for strawberry next time. Also had a side car. This was ok. A bit watered down. Overall beautiful restaurant right off the Riverwalk and I'll definitely be back.
