tacos al pastor
Susan M.

I ordered takeout from here and the food was very good. The restaurant is in the back and there is a small store as well that I have bought spices from before. I ordered the tacos Al pastor and they were very good and had a very reasonable price of $7 for 3.

Lengua tacos heck yeahhh
Michelle P.

LOL what the heck. This place is my Californian dream. In Los Angeles, they say that you find the best Mexican street food in the worst of places. Although the Capital Region has barely any Mexican street food places, I think this one takes the cake. I love that it's hidden behind a bus stop on the corner of Central and North Allen. I love that you need to walk through a narrow hallway to order and that you have to speak Spanish because no one in there speaks English. It reminds me of brighter days... literally, brighter... in a place with actual sunlight. The walls are orange: perfect. There are random boxes of avocadoes and other grocery store items scattered throughout the dining area: hilarious. The entire menu is in Spanish, so as long as you can point, you can order. The music, the broken TV, the fact that the cashier was scrolling through Instagram as she checked me out and talked on the landline phone and asked me if I wanted anything else, all in Spanish: great. Let's be real. This place gets 5 stars for memories of the SW USA. It gets 5 stars for being completely authentic. If there was a similar place in the area, I likely wouldn't award 5 stars but I felt completely transported into hopefully a version of Mexico that I was very pleased. The tortillas are not perfect. The presentation is definitely perfect and traditional with onions, cilantro, radishes, and hot sauce. You can get lengua tacos. Good luck finding those closer than 100 miles from here. Check it out if you want something very different from what you're used to, but go with an open mind. This isn't a 5-star place, but it's a 5-star experience and I'm very grateful for its presence in the area.

Carne asada tamale
Sarah M.

We came here to pick up some items and grab lunch. I saw a recipe for making tamales but was daunted by making the masa filling so decided we should just order some. I'm not sure about ordering online but most of the orders looked like they were through door dash. The menus on the wall in store aren't much help if you dont know spanish but their printed menus do translate what the meats are. They unfortunately don't list what comes in everything if you're a picky eater or have allergies. The food was a good value and tasted pretty authentic although I thought the meat in the carne asada tamale I ordered was a little skimpy. The masa and little sauce were great. I also ordered a pork carnitas burrito which comes with rice beans, and pico. The burrito was great and I could really taste the rice which I'm picky about. I wish the pork had been just a tad fattier. Ben ordered a chorizo burrito which was a bit of a challenge since we wanted no onions. I had asked if we could have it no onions with lettuce and tomato. Honestly even after calling their son back to translate for us I still don't think they made it correctly... They have coke products and mexican drinks to choose from. They also have orange fanta in glass bottles if thats your thing. The restruant side is long and narrow with mostly 2 person tables. It was a little dark and not super clean but if you're local and want a quick cheap lunch it will suffice. The grocery side is small, crowded and more like a little corner store for basics. They had bags of dried chillis, cheese, chorizo, bags of rice, canned chillis, some baked sweet breads with a sugar cookie dough topping. There were also a couple of boxes of tomatoes and peppers. I would try ordering online or grabbing a quick bite if I was in the area.

Beef stew/Guisado de Carne
Leo Y.

It's been a while since I've visited Mexican Market, which is a shame, since it's one of the best and most authentic Mexican restaurants in the area. I'm not talking about Tex Mex here, I'm talking about the real deal. Wether in the mood for enchiladas, tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tostadas, or guisados, this is the place to be. I love walking through the store to the dining room, and then browsing the store while the food is being cooked. Pre-covid, we enjoyed eating at the counter. So far, we've tried the tacos, quesadillas, stew, and enchiladas, and everything has been amazing. Prices are excellent, especially considering portion sizes. They even deliver now through Uber Eats, but it's of course best to support local businesses directly, especially during these trying times. There's generally ample parking on Central Ave or Allan St to be able to run in and pick up the food. We look forward to working our way through the menu.

The rice in my tacos wasn't cooked so I was eating just the top part and beans fell out and guess what else? A bee! A legit bee in my food. How does that even happen.

La Española torta with rice and beans
Lawrence K.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the capital region - seriously! The food is absolutely authentic and the menu selection features many options which will suit anyone's taste. I always order a torta (Mexican sandwich) when I go and they have almost a dozen different tortas to choose from! I've brought many friends there for over the past year and they all love it! I highly recommend the torta or molé enchiladas!

One of the best authentic Mexican restaurants in the capitol region. The food was flavorful, spicy,…read moreand delicious in all the right ways. Upon arrival you'll receive complimentary chips and salsa. It was fresh as the chips were warm and I could taste the fresh ingredients in the salsa. We ordered the carne asada and the Baja tacos (and the enchiladas verdes to go based on hot good the food was). The carne asada was fantastic, and it came with rice, beans, and tortillas. The Baja tacos were delicious and came with a super spicy sauce (they did have a lot of onions which was my only drawback). We ended the night with a special strawberry tres leches for Valentine's Day. It's not something I would have typically ordered but I do love tres leches and this did not disappoint - it was amazing. All in all excellent food you'll be glad you came for the food! A few other notes- the inside of the restaurant is pretty and draws on what I've seen in other Mexican restaurants. Staff were so friendly and had the perfect balance of checking in with us to letting us eat our meal. There is a small bar area that is separate from the dining area. Street parking only but there seemed to be plenty of spots. However, I would try to park as close as possible to the restaurant as the neighborhood itself didn't seem like the greatest. We had no issues during our experience but just something to consider. Overall I really liked this place and will definitely return!

There was a consistent steady flow of customers, eating in and picking up orders to go. On this frigid day I think that is a testament to the quality of the establishment. The decor inside is delightful, they have potted plants hanging from the ceiling with vines sprawling out, growing along strategically placed lines across the ceiling. Several playful piñatas are strewn about. It was a quiet, calm atmosphere. Even with the grills and ovens clearly cranking the dining room was chilled. Handmade signs are everywhere most in Spanish, with some English translations underneath. Laminated menus are also available. We waited what I thought was an appropriate time for our food, the items were brought out at separate times. One item completely forgotten, so we took it to-go. Fine though we were stuffed with what we had. We had ordered one steak and one shrimp taco (3 of each came out) definitely a miscommunication but sour cream on the side was noted and came on the side. We also enjoyed chips with a spicy green salsa, along with a voluptuous chicken quesadilla.

Every bite tasted homemade, not rushed or generic like big chains. The food was authentic,delicious, portions were huge, and the quality really stood out.

If you're looking to support a small business and enjoy amazing Mexican food, this place is definitely worth checking out. I'll absolutely be back. i could not take pictures due to me diving in the food as soon as it was ready . i recommend eating theere while food is hot

Incredibly kind and thoughtful of her, because we didn't even ask, she was kind enough to do this on her own. I always love the tacos, but they recently changed from blue corn tortillas, which were my favorite, to a different type, and they don't hold together as well (the entire taco falls apart). I shared this with our server (actually picked one up while she was standing at our table and she watched it fall apart in my hand)--and she responded with kindness, saying she would inform the kitchen, and I believed her. This place has great food and great drinks and we really love it. Plus it's part of the Prime family so you can get points for eating here and at their other restaurants. Five stars for treating me so well when I was injured!
