The carnitas we're so good and it was definitely a delicious experience. I've had nothing like it before, It was flavorful. I... replace the cauliflower with queso mashed potatoes. My friend had the tomahawk steak and that was good!!! I think I like mycarnitas better even he agreed but it was both a good dish. There is no toughness to the tomahawk steak and it was good forabout two people. I would recommend getting a side. The guacamole with chips were really good as well the chips taste fresh andthey were warm. If you're looking for a non-alcoholic drink I would recommend the watermelon cucumber fresca. It was soo good &to finish off dinner with churro or ice cream. The ice cream doesn't have a actually churro, but there's bits mixed into icecream itself. Our bill with three alcoholic drinks, tomahawk steak, guacamole, fresca drink, carnitas plate, and ice creamchurro dessert. Came out to be $200 without tip yet. I definitely would come back here as a treat. It was very good! Read more

Mercado Mexican Restaurant on South Lake in Pasadena offers a culinary experience from South of the Border. There is dine... inside seating in an eclectic setting. Tables are roomy and the atmosphere is inviting. The outside patio is fun to dine in anopen air atmosphere and people watch shoppers on South Lake. There is also outside seating in the Colonnade side, with tablesalong the outside wall of the restaurant. We heard their margaritas were a must "try," however I did not come away thatfeeling. Last time I was here I had a Sangria that I enjoyed and our server offered us a "Spicy Jalapeño Margarita" which shestressed three times was spicy.. so we steered clear. Our table ordered the cauliflower appetizer, yummy, the chickenenchiladas in a chocolate ranchers sauce and the carnitas plate. All were delicious and I'd enjoy again. Parking is limited onthe street and you need to travel across the way for the public lot. 90 minutes FREE and $2 per hour thereafter. Read more
Fantastic drinks & service. The food, while not authentic is very good. Everything tastes hand made, specially their tamale... dough. Would absolutely recommend any of their weekly special cocktails. Read more
