Mercado - Santa Monica

Excellent tacos, service and mango margaritas! We loved it!

The surf/turf platter is excellent and very worth the price.

We made a reservation while vacationing in the area. We were seated promptly and enjoyed the energetic yet calming environment right from the start. We ordered the carne asada, the steak of the day, two cocktails, and a side cilantro lime rice all of which were delicious. The chips and dip trio were also fantastic.The best thing of all from our experience was the service. Our waitress was fantastic, and the entire staff was super accommodating and friendly with our infant. Nearly every employee stopped while passing our table to give a smile or hello to our little one. This is a must have in Santa Monica if you’re looking for great food and great hospitality. Kid friendliness: The staff was incredibly friendly with our infant on our visit

Food and drinks were fabulous. I think it's a bit pricey, but that may be because we're from out of town. Still, would definitely go again!

Tasty food considering they dumb it down for the white locals. The Jamaica marguerita is bomb.
