Had a wonderful experience at Mercado! The food was really good, and I loved how customizable everything was—definitely a unique menu with plenty of creative options. The drink choices were great too, with something for everyone. The ambience is unique and adds a special touch to the whole dining experience. The waiters were attentive and did a great job throughout our visit. The only minor downside is that finding street parking can be a bit challenging, but it’s absolutely worth it once you’re inside. Highly recommend!
Wonderful experience! Their chips are perfectly salted and when paired with the guacamole and salsa…chefs kiss! I had the street taco which were flavorful the rest of my group enjoyed their meals and a top hit, and one of their most popular dish’s, was the noodles! Will definitly be back next time I am in town.
We chose Mercado to celebrate my wife's birthday. Our service was awesome from start to finish. The staff was excellent and recommended their favorite dishes. We had trouble deciding between the popular tacos and the loaded carne asada fries. Our server recommended doing a half order of the fries with two tacos. If we hadnt already enjoyed sharing two appetizers, this would have been a perfect dinner portion. The dip trio was fantastic. The salsa was bright and vibrant. The queso was smooth, creamy, and well seasond. The guacamole made for a refreshing bite in between the other two dips. The superior appetizer of the night was the warm side of elotes street corn. Mercado served this dish off the cob and we utilized the chips we had from our dip trio to scoop it all up. The elotes was so good! I could have eaten 3 servings of it without getting tired if it. This is a great snack dish if you find yourself anywhere on the Landing with an appetite. My tacos were excellent. I had zero complaints. The carne asada fries were even better than the tacos. The burst of umami from the layers of flavor in the fries made for my favorite bite of the night. If you only get one thing when you come to Mercado, it should be the carne asada fries. For her birthday dessert my wife chose the flourless chocolate torte. She has a gluten sensitivity and this made for a perfect end to the night. The kitchen even served this with a large sparkler that burned bright for the whole restaurant to see. Thanks to all the staff for helping us celebrate my wife and make her feel special. We can't wait for our next visit.
If I could give more than 5 stars I would!! Service, as always, was top notch. Food, pick anything on the menu and you won’t be disappointed. Everything is amazing. Restaurant vibe is so cool and welcoming. This is one of Fort Wayne’s brightest stars!!
Chicken tacos for lunch were delicious, along with choro margarita. Order inside and then sit anywhere for lunch service. Very large outdoor seating that is in the shade at lunchtime (nice for warm days). Inexpensive for the quality of the food. Next time I'm in Fort Wayne I'll visit again.
