Tried El Mercadito del Mundo for lunch. - Agua de horchata ($2.50 USD small) - good but they added a lot of ice. - 2 Enchiladas & 1 tamal combination platter (#3) ($14.99 USD) - tamale was good, enchiladas were bland. Rice wasn’t hot; tasted like it sat in the warmer for too long. - Lengua en salsa verde ($16.99 USD) - beef tongue was tender, sautéed onions were nice but tiny portion. Only 7 thin slices of tongue. Nothing blew us away at EMDM. On to the next Mexican spot to try.
I mean... Look at this burrito. Awesome spot for killer Mexican food. I had the pozole and it was loaded with pork and flavor. Partner had the shrimp burrito and it was delicious. Super wonderful staff and a very cozy environment.
Just visited the brand new Jardin Cafe inside El Mercadito Del Mundo, and it was delicious! I’ve been watching the remodeling progress of this space and was so excited to try out your drinks, and they are excellent! The cold foam is especially nice, I got the Latte Con Choco Chispas and it’s lovely. I used to be a barista and I so appreciated how skilled your barista was, she was speedy and kind and clearly knew what she was doing. Can’t wait to come back here in the future, I’ve been a regular patron of your Taqueria (which is also delicious, the horchata is excellent), and I’ll definitely be a regular of Jardin Cafe.
Local restaurant that's not at the busy center. Very nice taste and friendly staff introducing us food. The food taste good and the price is not expensive too!
It's pretty ok mexican food. Menu I guess isn't correct. Was looking forward to my meal but apparently instead of the choices listed on the menu all I could get was chicken in my enchiladas. Chicken when your wanting carnitas is dissapointing. The tamal was good but kinda small and not much meat. The chicken bland and meh. The hot sauce also surprisingly bland. The rice was great and the beans pretty good. So I'll have to try it again maybe to give another review. All in all. It was ok
This is a hidden little Mexican place in Mount Vernon. We got there close to closing time, so nobody else was there. However, the staff welcomed us with no problem and were very engaging and friendly. The restaurant is cheerfully decorated and clean. The food tasted good, but I do wish that it had been served. Warmer. Prices were absolutely reasonable for our meals.
we were on our way to a concert and stopped for a quick bite. What a surprise, incredibly tasty, authentic Mexican with a wide reaching menu ! I had the Torta with El Pastor and my partner had the Sopas. the Torta was really good, but I was wishing I had ordered the Sopas, which looked outstanding. I will go back again and take pictures. Service was very quick and friendly.
New Jardin cafe in the same restaurant Coffee is so good . Must try Cafe de olla with pumpkin cold foam
