    Pay de elote
    Cathy D.

    Excellent sommelier suggestion for a single glass of wine. Spinach salad good, main course steak medium rare in a pastry case (like beef Wellington) with squash sauce decent but uninspired. Tried the pay di elote as I wanted to taste this sweet corn pudding with eggnog sauce. The Mexican sweet tooth and mine just don't match so I left half, and had a shot of espresso to finish. Wait staff very professional and tolerant of my non-Spanish. Quite expensive, as you pay a cover for the spiral bread and spreads, something I didn't need. Glass of wine excellent but $$$. So many other choices in the Centro Historico I will go elsewhere.

    A for ambience and service. Enjoyed the bread, appetizer and soup. The main courses were a fail. Grilled tuna was supposedly medium but came well done. The chicken with mole was overcooked and dry. Crème brûlée was not custardy and texture was not sufficiently firm. Will give them another try. Maybe other dishes will be done right.

    4 pepper chili steak with sausage and seranno peppers

    Almost got scammed by the people on the street trying to get me to go upstairs to their restaurant when I found this place... The food was delicious!!! We had escarole which is ant larvae, guacamole, 4 pepper steak, fajitas, stuffed Chile relleno and tenderloin. Prompt and courteous service.

    If your looking for a pleasant environment to dine in Mercaderes could be your choice of dining. With it's array of plates one can be sure to leave satisfied. I ordered the arrachera con papas francesca's (steak with fries), which I can say with confidence was quite satisfying in all areas. However, my friends who ordered crepas mercaderas (3 separate crepes filled with chicken, spinach, and mushrooms) weren't quite as satisfied. All in all, if your in town Mercaderas should be one of your visits.

    The service is horrible!!! The girl at the front is very rude, the waiters are very unwelcoming!!…read more The wine is good but wouldn't come here at all!! The music outside is great and you can just enjoy that without purchasing anything!! I heard when a waiter told a couple, go inside and wait "I have a table!" When they barely arrived and I saw when they were added to the back of list!! Owner must pay attention to the service !!!!

    Located next to a noisy freeway and a pig farm (imagine the smell) this large and busy winery lacks…read morecharm. The tour was led by two young ladies on a major power trip. They insisted that everyone remained completely silent although we did not see a single person actually doing the work of making wine. They said aggressively over and over silencio, as if we were in the Vatican. Mind you, there wasn't a single person behaving disrespectfully in the large group. The groups are very large, 40 people. They barked their presentation at us as if we were insubordinate young children and they were nuns. The sparking swill we were presented at the end was fuzzy sugar water with a bitter finish. Absolutely undrinkable for a champagne fanatic. I've toured dozens of wineries all over the world, this was unquestionably the worst experience given the rudeness, draconian policies, and terrible product. If you have any understanding of wine, don't waste your time. I suggest visiting the Valley Guadalupe. They produce exceptional product there including brut style sparkling that would surprise and delight any fan of Champagne. The wineries in that region are stunning and the people are gracious and welcoming.

    Came in for breakfast 7/27/27, table for 4 on 2nd floor…read more Definitely a nice place to have breakfast outside of eating tacos every wherelse. We order pan de dulce for the table and we got 2 conchas, soft and warm just made. A chocolate roll and a fig and nata pastry along with coffee for the table. We order hievos rancheros with the red sauce. Huevos revueltos con chorizo, omelete con flor de calabaza y tamal de elote con crema. We also order a birria de res to share with the table. Service was very quick, efficient and friendly menus can be had in english or Spanish . My daughter order a hot chocolate with preparation table side, she said it was amazing. Fantastic place for brunch but arrive before 9:45am otherwise lines and some slight wait after 10am.

    Found on Yelp as we were in the area. Yelp rating is earned. Came in at dinner time, like 5:45 on a…read moreweekday. Sent to 2nd for right away and seated right away as place was maybe 1/2 full. No music beyond the 2 guitar player going around table to table to see if you wanted a serenade. Skipped their offer 1st time around. Pretty quiet, bright and clean. Found that waiter spoke a little English and with our little Spanish got things done. Menus are bilingual Spanish-English. Ordered 4 lamb tacos, chile en nogada, cooked chicken in green sauce and a fish dish (forgot name, little spicy) then a coke, horchata and a pineapple drink. We got chips, cheese, sauce while waiting. Those were all nicely done but average. Dishes out maybe 10 min later. All presented well and hot. We shared each dish. Lamb tacos nicely done, little dry, but they give you some guacamole, a brown sauce, along with the green sauce and cheese with the tortilla chips. Nice, not fatty. Next was the chiles en nogada. First time tried this and really enjoyed, many flavors and nicely flavored beef. In general little on sweet side, so probably couldn't eat more than 1. The chicken in green sauce was a homey, comfort food. Nicely cooked chicken leg and thigh was an ever so slightly spicy sauce. Also came with tortilla wraps and Spanish riceLastly was the spicy baked fish. Done well, fell apart pretty easily, was spicy, but not too much. Had green beans on side done well, not too soft or hard, and Spanish rice. Drinks were all a hit. Coke is coke. Horchata and pineapple juice served in big mugs. Pineapple tastes freshly squeezed and horchata was a super solid example in every way. Oh almost forgot, later in the meal we figured out how to get the 2 guitar fellows to play for us. 2 songs for 300 peso, about 7min total. They did a good job with both the guitar and singing, was enjoyable to listen to them. Would stop back again if in area.
