| - Ok this place used to be called Mercadito (cute Spanish word for Market) placed inside Red Rock. I'll tell you I loved it! For one, they had a nice selection of fresh tacos, even had the taco of the month. Their civiche was amazing, and the guacamole was out of this country amazing. I also loved that on Tuesdays they had industry night and gave a 50% discount (eventually coming down to 30%) but still, a highly recommended, fun and delicious Mexican restaurant.
So what happened? It closed down and was renamed and revamped. Apparently a new company or owners took over and added this weird art. My problem is the menu. All of a sudden they have Fajitas? I like faijtas but why change a menu that was popular?
This place would get packed back in 2015, we had to wait 40minutes but we knew it be worth it. So we walked in, on a Tuesday and was surprised to see it was kinda slow. And even more surprised to discover the menu was petite and the flavor wasn't out of this country.
I'm conflicted, it's not that it tasted bad, and it's not that it's overpriced and I miss my discount. It's just not impressive anymore. The guacamole is ok, my girlfriend had some Mahi tacos and they were served on flour tortillas and she wasn't going crazy for them like before.
I miss my jalapeƱo Mexican Mac+cheese, and now there's nothing exciting to order.
In the end, it's worth a shot for just having a margarita and some chips and guacamole if that's your thing. Just bear in mind the food isn't anything to rave about.
