Mercado Restaurant Manhattan Beach 3212A North Sepulveda Boulevard, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266

"We showed up on a Saturday night with around 12 people and they were easily able to accommodate us in a special room! The service was great and the food was amazing. Most of the people in the group did not drink alcohol, but they had several non alcoholic options that were extremely tasty! I will definitely be back!"

"Was taken care of by Kayla and Matt both were super polite and personal. Made great recommendations (prickly pear marg and el pastor tacos). Matt specifically was charismatic and clever. If we weren’t so full we probably would have stayed there all day ordering more drinks. Did not disappoint and would 100% go back."

"We had the Surf & Turf Tablita, the steak and shrimp were excellent, the carnitas were very tender but seriously lacked any flavor - about the same flavor as boiled chicken. As far as atmosphere we were sat at a 2 top across from the bar, very cramped seating & table too small for platter. Very drafty between the front door and the bar with huge raised glass wall open to the patio. We had to wear heavy jackets the entire night which made it even more uncomfortable."

"Overall, this was a very interesting place. If you’re looking for traditional Mexican food, this is not the place for you. Their drink menu is limited, but the drinks did taste good. We got two different margaritas (cucumber and blood orange) and they were very tasteful. For our meal we got the carnitas tacos and the French toast. The food tasted really good, however we found plastic inside the French toast. When we told the manager about this he said “I am sorry, but this happens a lot.” This is very concerning that it happens a lot. Is there a quality control in their kitchen? What else was in our food that we missed? The manager did not seem concerned at all about this. I would not recommend this place to a group of people who want to split the check. When we asked to split the check, the waitress did not know how to do that. We then asked for the manager to do this, who argued with us over splitting it. I have never been to a place that cannot split a check."
