    Menudo con pata y granos (homemade corn tortillas!!!)
    Chad K.

    Great food. I just wanted some more meat in my bowl. I got it "con pata" so the pig foot took up most of the room in the bowl and there is not a lot of meat on the pata. More tripe would have been better. Other than that, I loved the recipe. Nice and thick with the right amount of spice kick in there and fresh sides (lime, chili, onion, oregano). And the tortillas tasted handmade. Warm, fluffy and delicious. Next time I'm just going to order it "sin pata", but other than that, a perfect bowl of menudo.

    Was in the area and stumbled upon this awesome home-bakery! This Mexican & Guatemalan inspired bakery was such a perfect treat for the day! Aesthetics & Ambiance: 8/10 the ambiance is quiet and low key and the aesthetic feels like you walked into your childhood bakery. Service: 9/10 everyone was so kind, and walked me through each item so I knew what the flavors were. They also brought complimentary chips and dip with was a nice touch. I'm not entirely sure the name of each item, but... The sugar & vanilla cream bread: 7.5/10 was a bit sweet but the vanilla cream was perfect! The bread topped with cream and sugar: 6.5/10 it was good, but the bread being so tall with it only on one side left the bread a bit dry. The strawberry & cream pastry: 7/10 was really good, the bread does get a little tough. Get it warmed up before and it's amazing!! They have many other amazing pastries to try!

    Pupusas
    Norma S.

    Came here on a Saturday around 4pm. Parking lot available. Plenty seating inside. Friendly service they had some music playing. Ordered the pupusas revueltas they were big and flavorful. The jugo de papaya and mango were freshly done. The pickled onions topping was really good. Only thing the table could've been cleaned a bit more throughly. And metal utensils. All in all good for price to taste was worth it!

    Panadería plus a restaurant all in one. They also have natural juices, smoothies, aguas frescas and coffee beverages. They have a pupusas special on Wednesday: 6 pupusas for $19.99. They offer menudo daily and lots of yummy desert options too. They have a fairly large seating/dining with AC with clean restrooms and lots of front parking. (That can be an issue with a lot of LBC establishments and super inconvenient when you want to go to eat but can't find parking). Definitely recommend and would come back!

    Caldo de Res con arroz

    The food is 100% authentic Mexican and Guatemalteco food. Everything is full of flavor and portions are full filling. Service is fast and attentive. Ambiance's is great everyone is so friendly! Would recommend and return with the whole family to try everything on the menu!

    Wonderful people! I love their baked goods, my new all time favorites! Gives very friendly family vibes too, feels just like I'm greeted as family.

    Molletes
    Kristina F.

    This Marilu's location (versus the OG one down a few blocks on Cherry) was less panaderia and more little cafe with an amalgamation of home-style Guatemalan, Salvadorian, and Mexican fare. My husband and teen ordered pupusas, which were piping hot and freshly made, with a generous amounts of filling (especially the frijoles). Their curtido was tangy and they had this awesome chile to spice it up along with the standard salsa roja. I ordered the molletes, fresh bolillo split and slathered with beans and a healthy sprinkling of white cheese melted on top. It was simple, delicious, and super filling. We got my toddler a licuado de platano. They must have known it was going to be for him because they mixed in some choco milk powder in too. It was SO much for the cost. I'd go back just for that.

    pupusa revuelta & chicharron con queso!
    Brianna S.

    I had an amazing experience here! The revuelta and chicharrón con queso pupusas were absolutely delicious--soft, flavorful, and packed generously with filling. You can really taste the quality and care in each bite. The curtido (pickled cabbage salad) and salsa that come on the side were just as impressive--fresh, tangy, and served so you can top your pupusas just the way you like them. As soon as we sat down, we were greeted with a complimentary soup and warm bread, which was such a comforting and thoughtful touch. The entire meal felt like home. To top it off, the cashier/waitress was incredibly friendly, sweet, and polite. She made sure we had everything we needed, was very accommodating, and made the whole experience feel welcoming and relaxed. Highly recommend this place especially for pupusa Tuesday where each one is 3.25!--authentic flavors, great service, and generous portions. I'll definitely be coming back for $21!

    Great bakery! Some kind of amazing strawberry roll with coconut on the outside and a solid cup of coffee. Good service and chill ambiance.

    Honestly, this location has the best pupusas ever! Whether you're dining in or taking your order to go, the quality is always great. One of the perks of eating in is that you get to enjoy their complimentary veggie soup. The ambiance is nice, and the staff are very attentive. I do recommend ordering ahead if you're picking up especially on Tuesdays!

    Picamas Salsa Brava
    Dustin B.

    The chilaquiles plate looked too big so I ordered a torta version. I asked if it was spicy and the lady said a little. She was right. It was just spicy enough for me. The griddled torta bread was super fresh. The chips were lightly sauced and placed on the bread with black bean spread, mayo, and crumbled fresh cheese. Before it arrived someone popped out and asked if I wanted onion on it and I said yes but no onions were in the sandwich so I blame my poor Spanish. The red sauce on the chips was pretty basic with a strange bitter aftertaste. Maybe it's more Guatemalan or Salvadorean than Mexican. I'm used to richer warm red sauces. All in all I like the place and people and want to try other dishes but wouldn't order this torta again.

    Nonna Mercato holds a special place in our hearts. They are like members of the family at this…read morepoint because we are there every week reliably. At least a few times. Nonna has become our go to bakery, our sweet retreat, and one of our favorite local brunch spots. Now, they even have happy hour and, during the summer, dinner (Nonna Summer Nights)! And all of the food is amazing. Seriously, truly legit! We buy bread from there each week. No more "big box store" bread you freeze. They make their bread fresh daily. They only use fresh, locally sourced ingredients with no preservatives. It's nice to look at an ingredient list and not see a paragraph for bread (and be able to pronounce all the names!). And their cupcakes and sweets. Yo, seriously so good. And the thing is, because of the ingredients they use, we don't feel heavy or overly wired after eating cake or cupcakes from them. From other places you can tell they use preservatives, refined sugars, processed ingredients. But with Nonna, you can just taste the difference. We even had them make our special cake for our wedding! We recently tried their dinner (twice!) and it exceeded expectations. Now, mind you, all of their food has always been good but our experience was amazing. Their prix fixe menu was well put together, wine pairings on point, dessert was also delicious. Our favorite was the tiramisu! Also loved the spaghattini and casarecce pastas, and entrecôte di manzo, but everything was great. Their brunch is also great, you really can't go wrong on the menu. And I think we've gone through almost all of it! Finally, (if you've stayed with me this long!) the absolute best thing about Nonna for us is the TEAM. Hands down no question. The food is good, space is a comfortable neighborhood vibe, and all that. But truly the folks here are amazing humans. Always friendly, warm, and welcoming. If the management team is reading this, you all have a great group of people there! We will definitely be back (again and again and again) and you should too!

    Baked eggs are delicious! It's like a shashuka style egg dish baked in a clay pot. Comes with two…read moresmall slices of bread. My qualm about Nonna's is this: Baked goods already purchased cannot be eaten at dining table. So with that said, you're eating Baked Eggs with 2 small slices of bread that is not enough...and they will not let you grab a piece of bread you just bought at their bakery to dip into the egg sauce. WTH is that logic???? Honestly, not cool. And their bread is HELLA EXPENSIVE. If I'm going to buy your expensive bread and pay to sit at your table, WHY CANT I EAT THE BREAD I JUST BOUGHT? Makes no sense!! So now I make my own Baked Eggs and my own bread. I can eat as much as I want. 4/5 for Baked Eggs 1/5 for their bakery policy

They encourage you to order ahead, and their website is straightforward and easy to use. You don't have to order ahead, but know they might sell out of your pie. First visit was to sample pies for a birthday celebration. I got the marionberry, salted caramel (GF) and raspberry dream. On the second trip for the actual birthday pie, I picked the salted caramel b/c the group is a chocolate crowd. Third time, just wanted pie! Also sampled the cutie pies in the jar... I don't think the mini pie made it home lol. Today (#4 visit) I was craving the raspberry dream and wanted to try the apple pie. My current ranking of pie I've tried is: 1. Raspberry dream, 2. salted caramel, 3. White chocolate raspberry (cutie pie), 4. marionberry (nicely tart, full of berries but a bit dry, went well with ice cream), 5. whiskey peach (too much crust, not enough peach, not very peachy). The shop has some seating but I only saw one group seated once. I always took my pies home to enjoy. There is plenty of street parking (metered, 15 min free), and here is a parking structure around the back of the block (2 hours free).

Very cute cozy bakery. My partner and I ordered 1 slice of Dubai pistachio cream cheese cake, 1 chocolate chip cookie, 1 slice of upside down German Chocolate cake, and 1 cinnamon roll with the nuts and no icing. Service was great, such a sweet young lady that helped us. Here's my review on each item: Dubai Cheesecake - pretty presentation. It was good for the most part but I think I expected more. I personally wouldn't order again. Chocolate chip cookie - very good cookie. The right amount of chocolate chips and it was really soft which I enjoy my cookies soft. I would order another. German Chocolate cake - oh my god!!! That was one of the best German chocolate cakes I've ever had. I enjoyed how moist the cake was and the nutty texture on top was next level. I would definitely order another slice. The Cinnamon roll - this was my favorite thing we ordered. This cinnamon roll was to die for! Pillowy soft and the right amount of sweetness. The roll was so good with the nuts alone that I didn't even need or use the icing we asked for on the side. This was such a delight.

Headed down to the shop and saw for the first time their recently opened restaurant adjacent to the bakery. Lovely decor and ambience. I arrived around 2:30 (the bakery section closes at 3) and was the only customer at that time. The bakery is small and compact. They have a merchandise section- clothing and pantry/gift items, a reach in fridge with drinks, and the counters with pastry case and coffee service. I saw they still had a few pastries, so had to nab the huge pieces of rosemary and olive focaccia! The gentleman helping us was friendly and helpful; we also chatted a bit with the nice young lady in the restaurant. The garlic herb scone I purchased was very dense and herbaceous. I could see it paired with grapes, eggs or soup. The focaccia was moist, a little oily but yummy. The rosemary flavor and herb sprinkling, though, was very faint. Would have loved more! The olive slice was very flavorful. The standout was the cardamom bun! Soft and perfect amount of spice. I enjoyed that with a jasmine tea later and it's my new obsession.
