This restaurant is part of a food court. On one end is a pub and on the other end is a Japanese restaurant and Italian restaurant. We have eaten at the Pub twice and really liked it. We thought we'd venture out and try the Mexican restaurant. They have a huge private lot so there is no need to worry about parking. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Due to the rain we opted to eat indoors. Outside in front of the Italian restaurant was a Saxaphone player. The music was beautiful but way too cold to really enjoy it outside. The ambiance is very festive. Their celling is very colorful with parasols hanging and tin stars hanging. The restaurant has a courtyard feel as there are no back walls and it opens up to a ice cream shop and the walkway to the bathroom. One downfall is the chips and salsa are not complimentary. That is a big shortcoming. They should always complimentary at Mexican restaurants. The chips were really good and so was the trio of salsas. There wasn't enough salsa to match with the chips. They salsa containers need to be bigger. I got and enjoyed the: Nopales con Carne de Puerco en Salsa Roja18.5 Fall off the bone tender braised pork short ribs in a rich tomatillo, guajillo chile, serrano and nopal sauce. You'll experience each remarkable  avor in this dish! Served with creamy refried pinto beans and fluffy white rice to capture any extra sauce. I was surprised that they serve it with white rice. I would think they would serve it with a Mexican style rice. The white rice was good, but not what I would expect from a Mexican Restaurant. My husband got the fish Tacos. I had a few bites. It wasn't my thing. They tasted a bit too fishy to me. I'm thinking that the fish wasn't that fresh.

I've been to Milagro several times before but this was my first time trying Mesa Mercado! The staff was very friendly when my friends and I walked in, they greeted and seated us immediately. I went with their Mexican wet nachos as my entree. It was delicious, the chips were house made and fried to perfection, it had toppings of beans, guacamole, salsa and cheese. The food was fresh and the staff was very friendly, I wish they did brunch so I could bring my friends here on a weekend morning.

We have ordered food for pick up from here many times and always enjoyed it, but tonight we were feeling adventurous so we went in and ate! The servers were friendly, attentive and quick. The place was decorated for christmas and was beautiful. I love that they have a vegan menu. Lots of great options. We got a few different tacos and they were all good. The salsa that comes as a salsa trio were all delicious! Their flan is absolutely one of the best flans I have ever had. It is so thick and creamy and the sauce isn't over powering. YUM

No funky taste. 11) Cons 1) they charge a $2.00 kitchen appreciation fee on our tab. We didn't see it till we left. So couldn't ask them what that was. Conclusion I liked this restaurant.

Love this place! They have a designated vegan section, other plates and support the community. I love the vibe of the place, great service and don't forget the margaritas! This is our go to local spot to bring friends and family to! I tried the vegan soup this round and it was so flavorful and delicious! Of course I did order the guacamole too.

What a unique Mexican restaurant! Absolutely adorable and the food is quite tasty. It's Hispanic heritage month, so I wonder if it's decorated just for that or if it always looks as cute as it did! If you're looking for an aesthetic restaurant to enjoy, this is the place to go. Our waiter was very helpful and brought us everything we asked for quickly. We started with the bean dip and queso. Both were great starters. The bean dip was pretty salty, so it would be good to order something like salsa or guacamole to go with it. Then I tried the fish taco. The flavors were good and I liked the cabbage on top, but the batter on the fish was quite soggy in the tortilla. The carne asada taco however was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful! The street tacos were also very good. I'll be back!
