The presentation was impressive, especially with the seafood being grilled right at the table, which made the whole experience feel interactive and fun. Every bite tasted fresh, and the variety in the combo made it easy to try a little of everything. The pricing is on the higher side, but it's reasonable for the quality of the seafood, generous portions, and overall dining experience. I'd definitely come back and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great Korean seafood BBQ spot~

Fresh and Flavorful Seafood I've visited this seafood spot…read moretwice recently, and both times the food was fresh and flavorful. The shrimp cocktail was especially good, with generously sized shrimp and a tasty cocktail sauce. My order had 14 shrimp, which felt like a fair portion for the price. It came with three tostadas, though only one hot sauce packet was included. That's a minor detail, but I would have appreciated extra packets. Good Value Seafood isn't cheap, but the prices here seem reasonable. They also offer weekday lunch specials that make items like the shrimp cocktail an even better deal. The campechana is another solid option and worth trying. Small Neighborhood Spot The restaurant itself is small, but there always seem to be customers inside, which says a lot. I also like that they decorate for holidays...it gives the place a welcoming neighborhood feel. Pickup Experience I've only ordered takeout, and my food has been ready quickly both times. Service was decent overall, although there was a brief moment during my last visit where I wasn't acknowledged right away while waiting for my order. Overall If you're craving a good shrimp cocktail or campechana, this local spot is worth checking out. Fresh seafood, fair prices, and a convenient neighborhood location make it a place I'll be visiting again.

It's been a while since I ordered from here due to my prior experience. I am sooo happy to report…read morethe aguachile taste delicious! Just like before. When you pay for extra tostadas they give you a decent amount. But let me tell you the flavor of this shrimp aguachile is sooo delicious and addicting. I am totally back to ordering this again!

The waiters, especially Chris and Luis, are attentive and professional. There is a small lot right by the entrance so parking is pretty easy and reasonably priced.

Came here for brunch and we are sure glad we did. The food was amazing from beginning to end…read more We started with the raw oysters which were perfectly shucked and cleaned. They had nice texture and a light brine taste. Then shifted to the fried green tomatoes which did not disappoint. They were perfectly crisp but not dry and had a fantastic sauce. Then came the red snapper cake Benedict which is usually crab, but they substituted snapper because they were out of the crab. We did not miss the crab as the snapper was delicious and the egg was perfectly poached. We finished the experience with the shrimp and grits. What a perfect ending to the great tasting food we have had so far. The grit was fabulous as was the shrimp and sauce. Our server Aries was great and honestly the entire staff was awesome. Everyone super pleasant. The space is not loud and has some soft music playing in the background. Easy to hold a conversation without yelling. We will absolutely be back!

Got here about an hour before closing so the Mercado had a chill vibe in general and the lines were pretty short... So of course I took advantage of getting food items from a couple of locations! I specifically wanted the squash blossom quesadilla or quesadilla de Flor de Calabaza from Komal and the Tostada de Kanpachi + Uni from Holbox.... wow. I just felt so spoiled with so much delicious food available to me... and with little to no wait on anything! As expected, both the tostada and the quesadilla were fantastic and oh so aesthetically pleasing. I wish my stomach or appetite was bigger. I really do want to try some of the other spots that don't get featured as much... I guess there's next time. Always a treat when visiting the Mercado. Especially when there is a possibility of grabbing a lot of different high-quality bites at different places for the same meal. Because it was on the later side on a Sunday, parking in the lot was pretty easy to find.

This is the kind of place that's perfect for hanging out with friends rather than a date night. It's messy, fun, and meant to be shared. The biggest downside is the wait, which can get pretty long. That said, the food is absolutely worth it. If you want to save time, I highly recommend ordering ahead and picking it up to go. Personally, I prefer the shrimp over the crab. The shrimp is easier to eat and just as flavorful. And here's my pro tip: don't throw away the leftover sauce! Mix it with pasta when you get home, and you'll have another delicious meal waiting for you. Great food, great flavors, and definitely worth the wait. I'll be back again and again.
