Overpriced
We went to Mercadito this past weekend and it was truly disappointing. The food was all right for Mexican but the portions were tiny. I've gone to many Mexican restaurants in the city, and this one really does not top the charts. The guacamole was like a mini ice cream scoop, and the tacos were comparable to mini appetizers. Good drinks, but the bill came to $95, not sure where the money was spent. Would not return.

Damn good!
Delicious food, especially the botanas. The sampler is great, you might want to order two. It's a little expensive, but so much better than your normal Village burrito shops. And the soft tacos, too! They're definitely worth trying many different ones.

best mexican food ever
I usually like mexican food as a snack, I never find it that interesting, an d always quite the same flavours. For the very first time I hade a VERY good dinner. All entrees, main courses, and drinks were exceptional. The place itself is not great looking, but due to the extreme kindness of all the staff, the atmosphere is really nice. I'll go back, and I'll suggest the place to all my firends

will go again!!
Loved the food and ambiance...try the fish tacos..we ordered chilaquiles also and drinks. I can't remember one of the tacos was so so...I think the tacos de carne was not so great..as if they cooked it w/soy sauce... Everything else was fantastic! GO and try it

the food is amazing at this place! the shrimp tacos are to die for and they have an amazing all you can eat taco deal after 10 pm. The service is great! the people are very helpful when you ask questions. Their mojitos are filled with amazingly fresh fruit! go here its a must!

love the food
I love the food, especially the ceviche and tacos. The drinks are also very good, and the atmosphere is quite lively. I would advise any prospective customer to sit in the front, because the back smelled like a bathroom the last time I went.

authentic great mexican!
i have now been to mercadito about a half a dozen times and think this place is great! the food is wonderful, using great flavors and everything is super fresh! the magaritas are my favorite, especially the mango with the fresh chucks of fruit. the only negative is the slightly funky smell, other than that would be my favorite mexican place in NYC!
