Mercado Hollywood

So yummy. Small boutique restaurant. Attentive staff. Food was very flavorful. Will be back!

Finally made it here. What a terrific restaurant.Warmly greeted when we walked in, our reservation was ready. Background music wasn't too loud but the space is pretty noisy with everyone talking.We ordered the set menu from the Dine LA promotion.Chips, guac and queso to start, all freshly made and so good. Then carne asada and shrimp, served with veggies and rice, very tasty.Bread pudding dessert was just okay (probably because we're not bread pudding fans).Our server was super attentive.Highly recommended!bb

This is a solid "upscale" mini chain that doesn't disappoint. Really interesting drinks, really well-prepared food (the octopus was particularly excellent) and friendly service. Hard to pinpoint a favorite dish but we didn't get a single thing I didn't like (quadruple negative anyone?).

On New Year's Eve, my family and I decided to stop by here, and it turned out to be the perfect way to end the year. We love good food, and this place NEVER disappoints. Take all my money and just give me the flan! There's no way we come here and leave without ordering it. The service was prompt, pleasant, and attentive as always. Parking is available on the street, but valet is an option, too. While the restaurant is always busy, you can still count on finding a seat.

The ambience in this place is darker than I like but, the service and food made up for that! We ordered the platter for 2-3 people and it was so good. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the chipotle salsa, just because I'm not a fan of chipotle peppers. The jicama shrimp tacos were so fresh and a little spicy. The guac was creamy and fresh and the chips were . The margaritas were strong and refreshing and they had bottled Mexican coke and sprite. DLEISH! Definitely will be coming back here.

Mercado Hollywood is a nice spot for upscale Mexican food and drinks. The margaritas are delicious (ask for no salt and a straw, because they're too generous with the former and stingy with the latter). Their meats are tender and flavourful. There just isn't a lot of it - do not expect overflowing platters here.The plating and presentation of the food is lovely. Your entire experience will have many Instagrammable moments - the whole space is very modern, trendy, edgy. Service is performative and efficient.We came for drinks once, and for brunch another time. We had margaritas both times, plus a michelada, the filet mignon tacos, and the carnitas plate for brunch. They use green peas in their rice, so since I'm allergic, I asked for no rice, clearly stating why. The waitress misunderstood and thought I was allergic to beans too, which would have resulted in me receiving two tiny $23 tacos and nothing else. I did receive a bowl of beans, but no rice substitution was offered (not even as an upsale of the cilantro-lime rice side). This was simply noted; not expected. Restaurants can decree a "no substitutions" policy, even in the case of a guest's disability, if they so choose.I would definitely come here for drinks again, and maybe get an appetizer to split if feeling peckish. While the food is high quality, I'd rather spend my eatin' out money at a place like Salsa & Beer where the food is bomb AND portion sizes are more satisfying.

Love Mercado. They have a great happy hour with potato tacos, beef tacos, and carnitas tacos. Good drinks. Great chips and salsa. Loooove going here

This restaurant came highly recommended and I couldn't have been more impressed. The ambiance is good vibes, but the food is amazing.
