The food is so solid that I don't want people to know about this place. We've been searching for amazing Mexican food in Long Island and we hit the jackpot with El Mercadito! The Lengua and fatty beef tacos were delicious. I enjoyed some of my husband's birria tacos too, soup was heavenly. their rice and guacamole were also tasty!
Service was good on a slow Wednesday afternoon, waitress was friendly and recommended dishes to us. Decor is adorable and bright - you can't tell how cute it is inside from the exterior storefront. Can't wait to go back for more tacos and a margarita.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Regina R.Brooklyn, New York, NY3083Mar 19, 2024Updated review
Love this place! The staff are super sweet.
Tamarindo margaritas are amazing!

The wait staff is super sweet and attentive. The decor is beautiful. The tamarindo margaritas are yummy! Horchata is large and flavorful. I have tried a few things on the menu and haven't been disappointed. My go to place when I had a rough week.

Some of the best Mexican food outside of SoCal. It's authentic down to the tamales, tacos de sudadero, barbacoa and nopales. The platters are a lot of food. Great food. Great prices. Great atmosphere. We've gone there multiple times and recommend it to anyone craving authentic Mexican food.

It's Cinco de Mayo which makes it a taco day by default. We like to order in from a local eatery and today we decided to try El Mercadito in Westbury, Long Island
Firstly this place is so damn cute, don't let the modest exterior fool you. The party is inside. Infact I can't think of another place that is already set up for a birthday party, like this one.
We did take out and ordered the Mercadito Pack 6 family Meal, along with an order of nachos and a tree leches to share for the kids.
This tray is huge and has plenty to feed a family of 4... for us, it will last us 2 more days for sure. Probably could have skipped the nachos, but they were so good! The tres Leches cake is just a hint of sweet and tastes absolutely delicious! Unlike most places where you get a mouth full of sweet this is true to its name and milky delicious.
Don't skip this place, the value is ridiculous and the food out of this world.
5 all the way!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Paul D.Queens, NY5043446974Jan 17, 2023Updated review

The tacos are great. The horchata is delicious
Large portions, more than enough for 2. Friendly service - Mar 29, 2023
Really good Mexican cuisine! Doesn't look like much from the outside, but don't let that deter you. Inside the decor is colorful and vibrant. Went with my 2 sisters, and we ordered the taco platter (only available Saturdays), red pozole, and 2 orders of Chipotle wings. Let me tell you, the taco platter alone would've been enough with food to spare! It came with pork, goat, and steak, along w/ a roasted poblano, nopal, scallions, and assorted accompaniments. Also came with a side of refried beans and rice. It was so good and so flavorful. I initially thought the meat might need a hint of salt but once I added the salsas, it was perfect! The bowl of pozole was also huge and enough to share. It was my first time having it and I really enjoyed it. It is very filling though. The wings were ok but nothing special. They actually tasted like those flavored frozen wings to me. We also ordered drinks (don't remember the name) but it had vodka and some juices. It wasn't very strong but the waiter brought us extra shots to make up for it. Really enjoyed this hidden gem and will return. Finding parking was a little challenging.
