Decided to try El Mercadito del Mundo for lunch…read more We dropped in on a Sunday (12:30pm). No wait for a table. Our waitress was friendly. Two salsa bottles (salsa verde and a smoky salsa) were brought to the table. - Agua de horchata ($2.50 USD small) - good but they added a lot of ice. - 2 Enchiladas & 1 tamal combination platter (#3) ($14.99 USD) - tamale was good, enchiladas were bland. Rice wasn't hot; tasted like it sat in the warmer for too long. - Lengua en salsa verde ($16.99 USD) - beef tongue was tender and sautéed onions were nice but tiny portion. Only 7 thin slices of tongue. Nothing blew us away at EMDM. On to the next Mexican spot to try.

We tried to share menus for a few minutes, but then decided to ask for another menu since there were two of us. We ordered combos and added a grande taco which is made with a handmade tortilla so that was exciting. FYI there's not chips and salsa here like most of the Mexican restaurants. The food was delicious. Service was OK. The prices are very reasonable. It wasn't too much food which is great! No need to take leftovers home that might go to waste anyway. I'd rather have the low prices. It appeared clean inside. Dated interiors. Large women's bathroom. It's kind of a strange layout and when standing out front, looked more like apartment doors and the open sign was off. Thankfully they had a small sign next to the right door that had their hours written on it and were open.

Pretty casual, kinda diner-y. You order at the counter and seat yourself. We ordered a torta with adobada (marinated pork) and carne asada tacos. The food came out pretty fast. And was super delicious. The torta was super juicy and thick. The adobada was well seasoned and delicious. The torta itself comes with lettuce, tomato, pickled jalapeños, and avocados. Super yummy and on par with tortas I've had in Mexico, especially with it being less than $10. The carne asada tacos were also fire. Super juicy and flavorful. Might be a little too oily for some, but I loved it. The food also came with a tray of a variety of salsas which were delicious. Overall would definitely come back.

And yes we are not disappointed at all. We were glad to have tried their food. My SO ordered the Chili Relleno and ugh - it was a bomb. We can't get over in raving about the beef. It was so tasty and delicious. He ravished his food in no time. My Cheese Enchilada was good. It comes with beans, rice and salad. Their cocktails are great. Worth it. I had the Mango Margarita. It comes in a big glass. It takes a while to finish it. Our server was good. Kept on checking on us. The dining room has a pretty good size. You can have private parties as some areas are separated. Lovely decors and you can tell the Mexican vibe around. Definitely recommended. Come when you're in town. You'll leave with a Happy Belly!! Cheers

At least they let me charge my phone here, but eh...service could be much better, especially bc not at all busy in this restaurant. I got to say...I love the decorations. Reminds me of the Mexican restaurants back home in SoCal where it is clearly family-run and just so rich in culture. Things that you can tell hold historical and personal significance to the owners. I would host a party here with the bar off to the other room, plentiful seating arrangements, and colorful,m vibrancy of the place. Just that service...ah! I want to rate this place higher :( and yes...parking here is ample!
