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.

In hindsight, we should have suspected the website was outdated, but we know now.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.

At first glance we couldn't tell if this was a restaurant or not but we had been told it was. The…read moreinside and outside are both very bland and plain, with little to no decorations. On their website it had a Margarita special which is actually what we came for but when we ordered, they said they don't do that anymore. We felt like we were already seated so we got a Margarita and some food anyways. The food was ok, not really great but not bad. The Margarita was very strong and didn't do much to counter the tequila flavor like a lot of places do. Our server seemed to avoid us for a while when we were hoping to get the check. I talked to some other people who had gone and said it wasn't very good either. I think there's a lot of potential here but I'll need to wait before coming back too soon.

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! The bartender had leftover marg that he shared with us that was delicious!

It didn't take too long for them to get us seated but friendly staff even brought drinks while we were waiting. When it was our turn to sit and order, the Chipotle Raspberry Black Bean Dip jumped out as the local recommendation. We then ordered a variety of different tacos and enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. The bean dip was a huge hit. A curious combination of succulent beans, zesty cheese, and sweet raspberry made for a spectacular bite when piled high on a fresh chip. I was slightly underwhelmed with the tacos, but the vibes in the building more than made up for it!

I 100% declined that again because of how nasty it was all in all the waiter was too pushy and strange. The food was nasty and mind you at the end of this it was all $50 for this despicable food. I'm giving this a one because I have to, but if I could, I would give zero star.

My preteens loved the beef enchiladas and tacos and I loved the SALSA (omg perfect restaurant salsa, not too hot but just enough), the refried beans were seasoned differently than I've ever had and I ate them all and I *cannot* recommend the SHREDDED BEEF CHIMICHANGA more. It was so flavorful and delicious. (My youngest had the Mac and cheese - lame - but loved the cheese dip!)
