I've been wanting to come here for quite some time. I'm so disappointed that I waited so long! The food here is phenomenal! We started with "simple" chips and salsa. The chips are fresh made, salsas the same. You get 3; hot, a salsa verde, and a mild. All 3 were wonderful! Not too hot, on point with the flavor. After that, we ordered the wild Alaskan cod fish tacos and the carnitas a la Mercado. I can't tell you which I preferred. The tacos come on a blue corn tortilla, the carnitas with plain corn tortillas. The sauce and slaw on the tacos were to die for and the fish itself was well cooked, flakey, and down right excellent. The carnitas had a nice Smokey flavor, and came with a salsa (that's 4 different salsas we've had so far now), white rice, and beans. The carnitas were moist, flavorful, and excellent!
I can't wait to go back, or even go try Mesa Mercado's sister restaurant, Mayahuel in downtown Sac. ~5/9/19 Yelp
