Mesa Mercado

We have ordered food for pick up from here many times and always enjoyed it, but tonight we were feeling adventurous so we went in and ate! The servers were friendly, attentive and quick. The place was decorated for christmas and was beautiful. I love that they have a vegan menu. Lots of great options. We got a few different tacos and they were all good. The salsa that comes as a salsa trio were all delicious! Their flan is absolutely one of the best flans I have ever had. It is so thick and creamy and the sauce isn't over powering. YUM

Saturday, 7/27/2024 - We tried Mesa Mercado restaurant for the 1st time. Address is 6241 Fair Oaks Blvd, Ste B, (Milagro Ctr) Carmichael, CA 95608. There is plenty of parking here. Upon arrival...Pros1) restaurant looked clean and tidy. 2) I saw there was a bar, buy didn't see anyone drinking there. 3) we didn't have to wait long. You do have to wait to be seated. 4) our server was very nice and attentive. Professional. He checked on us several times. The made sure we had water in our water cups. 5) our table, utensils cups, plates were all clean. 6) chips and salsa was good. Cost $4.00.7) they provided a little complimentary mango. 8) all of our food dishes were good. I liked them all. 9) our little one didn't like her chips much. She didn't like the sour cream on it. I liked it though! It came with a churro and whip cream as dessert. Churro was freshly made and delicious. Kids plate and churro was $10.0010) water tasted good. No funky taste. 11) Cons1) they charge a $2.00 kitchen appreciation fee on our tab. We didn't see it till we left. So couldn't ask them what that was. Conclusion I liked this restaurant. It was cute. Staffs were very nice and attentive. Foods were good. I'd go here again.

The restaurant was beautiful, and the service was excellent. The food was expensive and wasn't that good, it was average

We were treated to a wedding rehearsal dinner here on a Friday evening around 5:45 pm. The bride had called twice for a reservation for 17 people. The first time to make the reservation and the second time to confirm the reservation. When we arrived they had no clue about the reservation and we had to wait while they set up our tables etc. It worked out ok, but are they clueless? Especially with two phone calls in advance?The bar and good service was good for having to serve 17 people both food and drink. The menu had some interesting dishes on it, but when I asked for a couple of substitutions, it was a flat out "NO CAN DO." An example of that is "can you grill my fish instead of fry the fish for the fish tacos?" NO. Oh well. I decided on the vegan menu with veggie tacos, refried beans and rice. oh, by the way, the only beans they have are refried, no plain pinto beans or black beans. OK, no problem....I loved my Mango Margarita. The tacos were ok, but they forgot the avocado in my tacos and I couldn't find anyone to ask to bring it.Dessert, churros and flan to share. Flan was the biggest I have seen anywhere, ice cream with the churros was good. Churros were not very crisp. The restaurant is colorful and decorated nicely. Very cheery. They have a happy hour as well, although we did not arrive in time for happy hour to try it.

We have been here a few times and enjoyed the food, drinks, and service. The ambiance, décor and setting are very inviting. Milagro has plenty of parking out front for their restaurants which is a bonus. My favorite item on Mesa Mercado's menu is the chicken enchiladas and I get it with one of each sauce - mole, tomatillo, and red. Absolutely delicious and great drinks from the bar.

What a unique Mexican restaurant! Absolutely adorable and the food is quite tasty. It's Hispanic heritage month, so I wonder if it's decorated just for that or if it always looks as cute as it did! If you're looking for an aesthetic restaurant to enjoy, this is the place to go. Our waiter was very helpful and brought us everything we asked for quickly. We started with the bean dip and queso. Both were great starters. The bean dip was pretty salty, so it would be good to order something like salsa or guacamole to go with it. Then I tried the fish taco. The flavors were good and I liked the cabbage on top, but the batter on the fish was quite soggy in the tortilla. The carne asada taco however was absolutely delicious. The meat was tender and flavorful! The street tacos were also very good. I'll be back!

Love this place! They have a designated vegan section, other plates and support the community. I love the vibe of the place, great service and don't forget the margaritas! This is our go to local spot to bring friends and family to! I tried the vegan soup this round and it was so flavorful and delicious! Of course I did order the guacamole too.

Love this restaurant. Friendly service and delicious food! Also reasonably priced. It's in the Milagro Center which is very very nice and community focused.

A 3 stars review is an okay judgement? So this restaurant food is okay. Not great.17 of us here for wedding rehearsal dinner. The crowd pretty much ordered everything on the menu. I got to taste a few other dishes in addition to mine.The thick crunchy topopos (tortilla chips) were enjoyable. Not too greasy. The trio of dipping salsas also were piquant.My mole Oaxaqueno chicken was just okay. Not outstanding. The chicken breast was moist, cooked perfectly. The brown mole' was smooth but was quite one note. Disclaimer: I'm a mole' snob. I lived in Mexico city for a year way back long ago. I've spent a few months in Oaxaca. I know how a good well aged and seasoned mole' can be transcendent. This Mesa Mercado tastes it was made in a factory and packaged in a jar. It does suspiciously taste like the Dona Maria brand that comes in a jar. Available at Safeway supermarket for $3.80. The white rice was gummy and flavorless. Leathery tortillas were pretty bad, too.Flan was okay. Flavor and texture bordered on rice pudding. Big portion. But the sauce was sweet and practically flavorless. Churros were just chewy rods, made hours ago, no longer crispy. Cajeta inside was again just packaged tasting.There's so many family owned Mexican places in the Sacramento metro area that make way tastier food than this.Servers were friendly and gracious.Here, No return for me.
