Service was busy and quick. Attendant was helpful and taste was great, for being the only Boba Available in the plaza it's a great option but is unfortunately higher priced due to demand at location. Wouldn't have been a choice I would've made outside compared to other spots though. read more

While visiting my friends in Mission, Texas, they took me to this wonderful place. They have a great selection of little shops and restaurants. While we were there we ate at a couple of restaurants; Ronin and Noodles and La Cocinita, both restaurants had great selections of food with great flavor and the server were very helpful. read more

Sticky rice sushi is amazing!! The fried rice has a very unique taste I'm not sure what it is but the combo is such a great deal. A roll of sushi, bowl of rice, gyoza and drink for like 13 something. The young girl working the counter is super sweet and the food was ready very quickly. So yummy :P read more

Shop at Kalalilies! St. 148 Absolutely love this shop! It's been such a joy to watch this amazing women-owned business grow--I've been a loyal customer since before they even had a physical storefront. Every product I've ordered has been top quality and beautifully personalized, from coasters and canvases to wood planks, door signs, car coasters, and even bottle openers. You can truly feel the care and creativity that goes into each piece. They're always expanding and adding new things, and now with T-shirts on the way, I'm even more excited! It's clear they put so much heart into what they do, and it really shows. Highly recommend supporting this small business--you won't be disappointed! VISIT KALALILIES st.148 As soon as you walk in, take a left and it's the store right next to the staircase https://qr1.be/XZ9F read more

A lot of food options, and the value of the food is within range. There's a good variety of shops. Good family atmosphere. Great live music.

Super busy food court with lots of great options. Ramen joint was great. Look forward to trying the other food spots another time.

Live Jazz beautiful Delicious food Place has many seats where to chat and be comfy. I do recommend Nice for evening talks. (Text to fill the counting words and letters) read more

This indoor market offers a variety of shopping options with their small mom n pop stores. I saw everything from clothing, boots, barber, CBD, pastries, to name a few. They even have a small play area to keep children entertained. I saw a small establishment that offers beer. They also have a food court section that offers everything from vegan choices to tacos to pizza. I ate had some tacos. Very good! The food prices were a little steep for my liking. Will definitely be stopping by regularly. read more

I am so impressed with this place! This used to be Bargain Bazaar, but out with the old and in with the new! This place is amazing. I love the concept of having different shops, including different restaurants. It's a perfect place for hanging out with friends or to go on a date. If you want to have different food items, you all can while having the luxury and choice to sit with each other in the food area. It's so aesthetically pleasing with the lights and with how everything's set up. I'm so excited for more stores to open up. The upstairs part of it is still being built, it seems. We did see a tattoo shop there, but it's still quite empty. I love the sitting area upstairs! I say it's even a nice place to study! 10/10 will come here again. read more

Places like this is plentiful from where I'm from and traveled-Cali, Houston, Seattle, etc. so it was nice to see the valley adopting this concept...really enjoyed the options of food and shops it has so far. Appears they are expanding a bit more inside so looking forward to that as well. Hopefully will get to visit during the Fri-Sat nights. Update: revisited on April 2nd and orders tacos and Vietnamese food. Didn't get the name of the taco place since my friend orderd. The taco meat were very tender and nicely seasoned...got a platter where it came with 2 tacos 2 quesadillas and 2 lonches. A bit proxy honestly for the simplicity of what it is. Only gripe was the lonche being a bit hard. The new Vietnamese place...hmmm honestly overpriced for the quality. I mean just because it's in a hip food court doesn't necessarily mean you can upcharge...I wouldn't mind the upcharge if it was really presentable and worthwhile. read more

I liked the concept, it had a youthful vibe but was welcoming to all. The cake shop and coffee shop were really good, albeit the most expensive priced items we purchased in the valley. The facility was still under construction, so the part that was done was cute and vibey. There are lots of little shops were you can check out a whole variety of items. The prices were pretty high though, which leads me to believe the rent here must be high too. The other thing is I believe they have a plumbing or ventilation issue. It kind of took away from the experience. read more

This is simply a 5 star place. There are only 2 5 star places in the RGV. That's it. This and Maltifany Pizza. This would be 6 if available. The concept is genius. The food selections are spectacular. The new Vietnam spot is the only place in the valley you can find dim sum and it's fantastic dim sum. The Arabic spot has the best gyro for 300 miles. Easily. And world class lentil soup. The bar is cozy, an incredible beer selection, great bartenders. It is my favorite place to drink. The wine cellar upstairs is fantastic live music at night and run to perfection by Fernando. Not to mention, the shops here are really cool. What the owner has done here is revolutionary, it is fun, it is something a place as mundane as the valley is needs, it's just top notch. Best place in the RGV. Hands down. read more

Luis Lopez at Kari & Rosa's Memories Past & Present is a GEM of a human. He has such interesting finds for a great price, and has such a passion for the stories of the items he has found. If you are used to going to HomeGoods or Hobby Lobby for items in your home, consider the one-of-a-kind stories you can get from his one-of-a-kind finds. read more

It's brand brand new so I know that fifth star will happen. I love the idea of it! It's super cute!! It has H-Mart feels but in the RGV. The shops are super tiny!!! I was honestly intimidated to stop by because there's only space for 1-3 customers and that would feel crowded. They sell clothes, guitars, crystals, jewelry, etc! There are still a lot of vacant spaces if someone is wanting to open up a cute shop! The food court is really whats poppin!!! Food Court There is a ton of seating! I sat in the red tables with umbrellas and let me tell you those chairs were sooo uncomfortable they're at a 120 degree angle I swear!! My back was not happy! I went to Kabubi and got the Gyro Taco. It was absolutely delicious but too many onions for my taste. I felt like it was really overpriced if I'm being honest. I'm probably just poor...It was $12, plus a water & tip my total came out to $18.17. Bro I'm still hungry! Delicious AF though!!!! Brewery Yes, there is a brewery!!!! Stop by and help Mercado District grow so we can give it them 5 stars! read more

The Variety of the small businesses and the food from the food court was great! Highly recommended to try to mozzarella sticks from the pizzeria. And the Vietnamese food was delicious! There's a small business owned by a father and his son selling collectibles (Funko, Retro figures, Hot Wheels, and Comics) check them out! The waffle place was super good too read more

Got the sushi, do not recommend, bland, rice was overcooked and gummy, seaweed salad was ok. My husband got a smash burger from Jolene's it was decent. If you're vegan or vegetarian there are very few options. The idea for this place was good, the execution not so much. It feels like a rat maze. The hallways are narrow and lined with the same types of shops selling small trinkets. Expect more of a flee market vibe than a food hall. P read more

Food is a little pricey but pretty good and you can get a variety of different types of dishes.

Very delicious food , there are shops to visit & buy from , the food is amazing !! I definitely recommend !

First time at Mercado District and it was a pleasant experience. It seemed like a new establishment with several different options of foods. We chose Cocu for brunch where we got a chicken and waffle, as well as the California omelette. Both dishes were delicious and we enjoyed the vibe of the place, it is very well decorated. Definitely recommend this place for a quick place to grab a bite or to drink a coffee and hang out to study. read more
