"Mercadito has been a River North mainstay for tasty Mexican cuisine for 15 years. From the colorful murals to the homemade tortillas, everything here is a treat for the senses. Whether you’re visiting for brunch, lunch, or dinner, there is so much to enjoy, including crispy flautas, an assortment of tacos (like a butter-poached lobster option), and hearty enchiladas. There are two Astral cocktails on the menu, both of which make use of Astral’s Blanco varietal. There’s the Margarita Tradicional with the usual orange liqueur and the Spicy Mango-rita that gets a spicy kick from habanero." - Ariel Kanter
