Taqueria El Mercadito

Food was very good and large portions of meat on tacos. Would have been 5 stars but the prices are very high and not marked.. you have to ask for updated prices to be read to you. We got 6 tacos total, 1 side of rice, 1 side of bean, and 1 soda and the total was almost $30. We didn’t see the prices on the receipt until after we paid.. $6 for small side of rice and beans!

It's funny to see bad reviews from people claiming this isn't authentic. This is about as authentic as you can get outside of Mexico. The critics probably think an authentic taco is a crunchy corn tortilla, ground beef, lettuce, tomato, and shredded cheddar cheese. I have one issue, and that is the "al pastor" isn't really "al pastor". It's marinated pork. Al pastor means it comes from a trompo, similar to doner kebab and shawarma. And I didn't see a trompo here. Regardless, their marinated pork tacos were quite good. As were the others. I got carnitas and carne asada. And these tacos are restaurant-sized, not the little 3.5" street tacos.

Great authentic Mexican spot. The tacos are much bigger than you would expect and great for the price. I can normally handle four but I had leftovers after three. They give you a lot of meat and a lot of different options than you would even find at other taco spots. Carnitas and al pastor were my favorite but make sure to ask about the other options.

Tereific! Unbelievably fast service - like faster than drive through! The people are very nice, courteous, and speak terrific English. Decor is clean, simple and modern. Even the menu board is super well organized. It makes it easy to quickly decide what you want. Fairly busy place too! Lot's of people of all backgrounds seem to enjoy the food and atmosphere.
