Mercado
Locals rave about their Dip Duo that comes with guacamole, choriqueso, and chips. Mercado makes their guac with hass avocado, serrano, cilantro, red onion, chile de arbol salsa, and spicy pepitas. With outdoor seating and over 70 tequilas to choose from (in addition to its upbeat vibe) it's a must for newcomers. Don't forget to cruise on by for their Sunday brunch from 10 am to 3 pm.
