Mercadito — high-caliber mexican in River North. The cocktail list is worth exploring. Good service that doesn't feel rehearsed, and moves fast.

We had a fantastic brunch experience here during Restaurant Week — the deal was an incredible value for the amount of food you get. Everything we tried was delicious and came out quickly! Service was efficient and friendly, and a special shout-out to our server Samantha, who was amazing. She handled our party’s dietary restrictions with total confidence and care, making the whole experience feel easy and stress-free. Great food, great service, and an overall excellent value — we’ll definitely be back!

“I seriously can’t say enough good things about this place.”
I seriously can’t say enough good things about this place. From the second I walked in, everything was smooth, professional, and way beyond expectations. The biggest reason? Rafael. Rafael’s service was unreal! He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely cared about making sure everything was perfect. He didn’t rush anything, explained everything clearly, and made the whole experience feel effortless. It’s rare these days to find someone who takes that much pride in what they do, and it absolutely shows. Because of Rafael, I’ll be coming back 100% and recommending this place to everyone I know. If you go here, ask for Rafael, you’ll thank me later.

We are from out of town and came to Mercadito twice during our visit (once for dinner and once for brunch) and we were thoroughly impressed both times! The food was great and it was an easy dining experience with our larger group. Samantha was our server for brunch and was attentive, and gave us great recommendations. We would definitely come back.

“Marvin our bartender and server was amazing, super kind and efficient.”
Marvin our bartender and server was amazing, super kind and efficient! My bfs tampiquena steak was phenomenal! Our drinks were great, I am however a picky eater so I got my carne tacos without onion or salsa and didn’t realize the fondue would have peppers and some kind of vegetables in it so it made it difficult for me to eat. That is partly a picky eaters problem though. But the meat was perfect. The atmosphere was very nice and perfect for a date night. We ate good, (appetizer, meals, dessert) had many drinks each and spent about $300. Will definitely try again!

“Everything tasted great.”
Everything tasted great. Service was very good and all the dishes came out so fast! They were lacking a selection of cocktails that didn’t have tequila which was disappointing but everything else about the experience was great

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience here.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing experience here! Our server, Sabrina, was absolutely wonderful. She guided us through both the food and drink menus with great recommendations — everything she suggested was delicious. On top of that, she went out of her way to share tips on fun things to do in the area since we’re visiting from out of town. Her kindness and hospitality truly made our meal special. Highly recommend this restaurant, and definitely ask for Sabrina! 🌮🍹✨
