    The food lived up to the hype. Everything was presented beautifully and more importantly tasted amazing. We ordered half the menu and our server paced the food perfectly and even split some of the dishes on separate plates, which was a nice touch. They cleared our plates and gave us new silverware after each course. Drinks were also delicious and so was the wine. All and all fabulous.

    We enjoyed a great "birthday" lunch at Mercadito! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious—so flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. Every bite was a delight, and the creative cocktails complemented the meal perfectly. The staff was wonderful, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. They went out of their way to ensure everything was just right, making the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Mercadito to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!
