Of our 13 dishes, only three of them were not very good, the regular ground beef tacos were the worst.

The tamarind, strawberry, mango, and pomegranate Margaritas were a highlight. The complimentary chips and salsa were fresh and had very good flavor.

Delish, and you know it's a great authentic Mexican eatery when there's 10+ people waiting on a Friday evening. It gets busy on Friday evenings so come prepared, you can probably call and make a reservation in advance.

In hindsight, we should have suspected the website was outdated, but we know now. The inside of the restaurant left much to be expected, and the bathroom was gross and smelled bad. There was an employee in there watching TikTok loudly on her phone from the next bathroom stall. The quesadillas were super greasy. We will not be coming back and would not recommend this place to anyone.

This is a good seasoned meat that makes a star burger. This place is visited by mostly locals, and seems to be very popular at luch and dinner time.

The food was excellent. My daughter and I each ordered large bowls of Menudo. It was delicious. Lots of tripe. More tripe than hominy, which is important to me, as some restaurants add lots of hominy to make it go farther. The broth was oh so good, not greasy or fatty tasting, with the right amount of spices. The bowls were good sized. My wife ordered the nachos, which she loved. Pretty big plate. She couldn't finish it all. Great taste. She's not a big meat eater, so asked for only half the meat on her nachos, and there was still a good portion of taco meat on there. I'll get my own nachos next time as how i've now seen how much you get on nachos. A meal in itself. Along with my menudo, I ordered a Carnitas Gordita. For those that don't know or have never tried one, it's sort of like a Mexican deep fried pita then stuffed with your choice of meat. It was soo good. The gordita wasn't greasy, plenty of carnitas, lettuce, white cheese...OMG, just go get one and try for yourself. They have other meats but I'm hooked on the carnitas! The staff was friendly, courteous, prompt with food. They have Mexican products for sale on the side of the place, ergo, the "Mercado" part. Will definitely be going back.

They have a secret menu that you can order from as well. Great atmosphere and great service. They recommended the raspberry bean dip which in my opinion was not good but it seems like it is a staple in Manhattan, Kansas so why not try it out!

After reading all the positive reviews on here, I will admit I was very excited to give this place…read morea try. There is no doubt in my mind that these tacos are made with LOVE. They taste very 'casero' or homelike. It's as if your 87 year old grandmother has been slaving in the hot kitchen all day, picking the right beans and stirring those pots. I haven't had tacos these good in a long, long time. Prices are great and they pack everything up with a lot of meat. They prefer cash but now they have a set up where you can pay them using Venmo. They closed Sundays but are opened year round. Meaning, no snow storm or tornado is stopping them. Check them out, you will not be disappointed.

Each meal had four full tacos, consume, two spicy sauces, and a lime. It was definitely worth the cost and very tasty. It was full of flavor and was soft while not being soggy.
