Reviews for Taqueria El Mercadito in Gainesville, GA
Okay this place top top notch. I have never received dry or tasteless food. I would recommend 100%. Sometimes the cashier is... having an off day and gives you attitude which sucks but I will take the stink eye any day for some of their tacos. Read more
Food was very good and large portions of meat on tacos. Would have been 5 stars but the prices are very high and not marked..... you have to ask for updated prices to be read to you. We got 6 tacos total, 1 side of rice, 1 side of bean, and 1 soda and thetotal was almost $30. We didn?t see the prices on the receipt until after we paid.. $6 for small side of rice and beans!

A hidden gem in GA ????????? Consistently great food, quick service, and unbeatable prices. They don?t skimp on the meat ????
It's funny to see bad reviews from people claiming this isn't authentic. This is about as authentic as you can get outside of... Mexico. The critics probably think an authentic taco is a crunchy corn tortilla, ground beef, lettuce, tomato, and shreddedcheddar cheese. I have one issue, and that is the "al pastor" isn't really "al pastor". It's marinated pork. Al pastor means itcomes from a trompo, similar to doner kebab and shawarma. And I didn't see a trompo here. Regardless, their marinated pork tacoswere quite good. As were the others. I got carnitas and carne asada. And these tacos are restaurant-sized, not the little 3.5"street tacos. Read more
Tereific! Unbelievably fast service - like faster than drive through! The people are very nice, courteous, and speak terrific... English. Decor is clean, simple and modern. Even the menu board is super well organized. It makes it easy to quickly decidewhat you want. Fairly busy place too! Lot's of people of all backgrounds seem to enjoy the food and atmosphere.

Great authentic Mexican spot. The tacos are much bigger than you would expect and great for the price. I can normally handle... four but I had leftovers after three. They give you a lot of meat and a lot of different options than you would even find atother taco spots. Carnitas and al pastor were my favorite but make sure to ask about the other options. Read more
An a huge fan of authentic tacos and this place is about as real as it gets. The El pastor is to die for!! They take cash and... card, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. 10/10 will eat there again. Read more
Not well prepare and the salsa bar had nasty lids inside and no management took care of it. The food did not taste good to me.
