Reviews for El Merkury at the Market in Philadelphia, PA
Was not a fan of the pupusas? They were soggy and watery which took a lot of the flavor and crispiness away. Service was also... rushed and not too friendly . I hear their original location is better so I would be willing to give them a try again. Read more
Not good food. Guacamole was not classic guac. It was too runny and it had cucumber. Ugh. So let?s try the pupusas. Pupusas are... pre-made. We ordered cheese and loroco under cooked. Soggy since they were drenched in red sauce. Oh yeah, forgot to mention.Order of two pupusas is $10. Don?t waste your money. Very very disappointed. It?s my fault. Pupusas are from El Salvador notGuatemala. Read more
Not what I was expecting. The churro is a u- like rather sticks. I was expecting a bit softer. It was like a biting on a rock... with mounds of sugar, even when warming up the remaining for later it was beyond crispy. One of the attendants had a slightattitude as well! Read more
I got the Mayan Chocolate churro from here and it was quite delicious! The ice cream goes very well with the warm, crunchy... churro. I'd give the food 4 stars, but the customer service 2 stars. When the lady gave me the food and spoon, she handed methe food, but she just threw the spoon on the counter (which I felt was unhygienic), and on top of that, it was a dirty spoon.When I asked for another spoon, she got two more spoons and just threw it on the counter (again, unhygienic... and pretty rudeif you ask me). All the spoons were dirty. I only came here once, so I'm hoping no else had the weird rude spoon experience.(This was on Thursday, June 30, 2022 around 4-5pm) Read more
Delicious street food at a decent price! We enjoyed every bite of their pupusas, and we can?t wait to come back and try their... baleadas. Read more
The taquitos were okay, butternut squash with queso was better than the three chile chicken. They were out of churros and... baleanda?s at noon on a Sunday, which was disappointing. Read more
My friend and I went here Aug 2021 at noon to discover some new places to eat at Reading Terminal. We decided to order the... Salvadoran pupusas- 2 chicharron pork. It came with Peppered Cabbage/carrot in a small sauce container, pickled onion, plainsalsa alongside the 2 pork pupusas. We both through there needed to be more cabbage/carrot to add to the pupusas for portions.Also, just portions in general for the pupusas could've been better. Eating 2 of these by one person would not have filled themup and you're paying $10 for it. Other than that, the pork came out very flavorful and juicy. The bread casing on the pupusa isvery well-made. My friend really enjoyed his. Food: Great, but portions need to be better for the price. Parking: StreetMetered Parking for reading terminal Service: Quick, it's just takeout only. Got our food within 10 minutes afterordering. Would I come here again? Yes, but I might try to order something else and see if that's better with the portions. Thetaste is there. Read more
The baleadas are so good!! My favorite thing on the menu. And the churros are legendary for a reason. They?re huge and sugary... and delicious. A great place in the market! Read more
