Mercado's micheladas come with a dark, slightly brown mix loaded with soy sauce (and potentially other covert condiments like Maggi and Tabasco. There's a meaty, vinegary thing going on). At first, it's intense and the fuzz on your earlobes will stand up, but it goes down smooth with an ice-cold Modelo mixed in. " - Sylvio Martins
