Editorial Review for El Mercado – by Bernadette Noll

In Short
El Mercado stands out with its comfortable, relaxed scenery and kid-friendly attitude. Brightly colored balloons for the kids, festively painted decor and tasty margaritas for Mom or Dad--it's a match made in Tex-Mex heaven. Cheese is well-represented; in fact, the only non-cheese items on the kids menu are the breakfast items. Fussy kids who won't go for anything even remotely connected to foreign cuisine can always get the Elmer cheeseburger with fries.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Whenever I visit Austin I always make time to visit one of the many locations to this moderately priced restaurant. Not only is the food fresh and one of the BEST Mexican feists in town, the service is also warm and friendly. The interior is very family oriented and children are always welcomed. It's a peaceful, warm environment with great food that won't empty your wallet.

Pros: Inexpensive, Family friendly, Delicious food
