What People Are Saying About Mercadito Grove
The Editor
Justin Hartung
Citysearch
Located at the tip of one of the Village's sharp corners, the Grove capitalizes on its large sidewalk dining area, with the inside space reserved for an open kitchen and a smattering of hand-carved wood tables. The lively, hip mood is matched with brightly colored faux-fiesta ware and bubbly service. With a slightly stripped-down version of the original outpost's menu, Sandoval obliterates any memories of bland, cheesy Mexican dinners with an arresting flavor palette. Guacamole is available in three versions--all served with freshly made, just-greasy-enough chips--while fresh ceviches and tacos also please.

Lots of little bites, worth sharing with friends and trying a lot of things. Loved the strawberry margaritas and queso fundido! Can you really go wrong with melted cheese on little tortillas?

My friend and I were walking around at 10 pm in West Village Saturday night and was looking for a place to eat. We randomly tried this place and was SO glad we did! it's the cutest place with great food, drinks, & service. And best of all, we didn't have to wait! It's a small spot, but cozy and a cool place for a date or just drinks/food with friends. I had the steak taco and it was YUMMY! It comes in 4 soft tacos with chunks of grilled juicy steak, potatoes, cheese, etc. I loved it. Can't wait to go back and try their other tacos. My friend had the salad, also very good altho a tad spicy. And we had some wine. All in all, a nice place at reasonable prices. They have a huge tequila menu as well. I'm looking fwd to coming back here with other friends and trying out other dishes.

Last night my husband and I took out of town friends to Mercadito Grove. I happen to think they make the best shrimp tacos I have ever had and (coming from a bartender of over ten years) truly great margaritas. But, what I was so pleased to learn was that their level of service just continues to improve. Our waiter was EXCELLENT and could not have been nicer or more attentive. Our waters never dipped below halfway without being refilled by a busboy and Felipe, the general manager, was attentive to every table. It is rare to witness such a high standard of service. We are lifelong fans!
