Had a great experience on the patio at El Burrito Mercado today! The chilaquiles all day platter was really really good! Everything about it was delicioso. The Paloma and vampiros are good but I've had better, stronger, bigger ones for the same price. . Really wished the salsas were spicier or at least offered a spicier variety to the customer. Birria tacos were good but wish it came with 3 tacos instead of two! Consomé was really good too but it would've been more filling had the order come with rice and beans on the side.

A great market with groceries, ready made foods, meat market and a restaurant. I liked it better when they had the cafeteria style restaurant line instead of the digital ordering system. A great place to pick up tamales, Birria, salsas, pork with verde sauce, etc... They also have some gift items.

This is my go-to place for Mexican groceries and food. I needed some ingredients to make a recipe and found all the items I was looking for - and then some extra ones I wanted to try. Tried a fresh mango salsa which was delicious! I will be purchasing that again - in a much larger quantity - the next time I visit. My sister needed some dried peppers for a recipe she was making and was happy that she could purchase them by the pepper rather than buying a bag of them and not using them all. Everything is so reasonably priced and there is such a wide variety of items. Looking forward to going back again soon!

This is one of the best Mexican in the metro. Make sure you get there ahead of the dinner rush or you might be waiting. However, there's cool kiosks to order from if the line is long. I didn't try them, but they were available to use. It's located inside of a Mexican grocery store... which initially turned me off. How could a GREAT restaurant have this location. Restaurants in grocery stores have a reputation for convenience not excellence. This is not the case here! The synergy with source ingredients seems perfect. The crispy tacos were our favorite. The homemade shells were authentic and crunchy. The salsas were spicy (the way I like it). The rice wasn't mushy, and the refried beans were salty and perfect.

This place is so fun and the food/drinks here are delicious! From my experience, usually POC/ethnic places with a grocery store and restaurant serves some pretty delicious food! I had the Quesa-Birria tacos and they were fire ! Very hearty, savory and delicious! It was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Plus being able to dip the taco in the birria stew broth was so fun. What I liked the most about the birria stew broth is that they didn't just give you the beef broth but it also has some of the meat, carrots, potatoes and chickpeas inside of it- this was nice and different from other places I have had birria tacos from- I much preferred this way! We also had a flan and tres leche which were pretty good- light and not too sweet. Margaritas here are also a must! I wish I here during the summer when the patio is open because it looks so nice and they sometimes have live music. Definitely make some time to check out the grocery store! As for parking, there is free street parking and a lot in the back. Definitely coming back!

Incredible tacos! This place has everything and anything you can want. They are a combination grocery store/restaurant/takeout, and the food is great! Outside they have restaurant seating and a food truck style service (though it might only be in summer?) We love to come here for lunch and then grab some extras from the pre-made grocery section for later. Our go to is the rice and birria meat. They also have a great salsa bar! 10/10 There is a pretty big parking lot out back and the staff is all super kind.
