Mercado Santa Monica

Contemporary & Traditional Mexican Food Mercado is an inventive mix of food, atmosphere and tradition, reflecting the heart and soul of Mexican dining.
(611)

Located in the heart of Downtown Santa Monica, Mercado serves as the third installation of a classic and contemporary Mexican restaurant group that includes El Arco Iris in Highland Park and Yxta Cocina Mexicana in Downtown LA. The beautiful space by New York architect Poonam Khanna, is an eclectic fusion of modern design, accented with traditional touches, that create the ultimate in intimate upscale dining, while remaining accessible and comfortable. The menu exemplifies the cuisine and flavor of Chef Jose Acevedo's and co-owner Jesse Gomez’s Mexican roots, featuring items such as Chef Acevedo’s signature carnitas, created from a recipe handed down through generations. With tortillas made by hand daily, the finest meats, poultry and seafood, flavorful sauces, carefully crafted ceviche, enchiladas and tacos, produce from the local farmer’s market, and everything made from the freshest ingredients, Mercado offers handcrafted Mexican cuisine, artful design, a warm atmosphere and friendly service. Mercado’s bar offers over 70 premium Silver, Reposado and Anejo Tequilas, as well as 14 draft and bottled beers. Try a creative cocktail like the Escabeche Martini, Jamaica Margarita, or La Picosa. From large party dinners to private dining on the mezzanine level overlooking the main room, or a cocktail at our eclectically stocked bar, Mercado welcomes you to join us for any occasion. We look forward to seeing you soon!

Dear Valued Guests,

It is with mixed emotions that we announced the closure of both Mercado Santa Monica and Mercado Los Angeles after more than 10 incredible years of serving our communities. Our last day of service will be this Saturday, June 29th and our last day of service will be Sunday, June 30th.

We would like to extend our deepest gratitude to every one of you who has dined with us over the years. Your support has been the heart and soul of our restaurant. It has been an honor to serve you, and we are profoundly grateful for the memories we’ve shared together.

We also want to express our heartfelt appreciation to our dedicated staff members. Your work, passion, and commitment have been the driving force behind our success. You have played an integral role in creating a memorable dining experience for our guest.

While this decision was not made lightly, we believe it is the right step for our business at this time. As we prepare to say goodbye, we invite you to join us in celebrating the cherished moments and connections that have been made within these walls.

Our remaining days of operation will be filled with gratitude and a commitment to providing the exceptional dining experience you have come to expect from us. We hope you will join us in making these final days truly special.

Thank you once again for your patronage. These have been some of LA’s best Mexican restaurants and we are proud to be able to say that. We look forward to continuing to serve you authentic Mexican cuisine at our Mercado locations in Hollywood, Pasadena and Manhattan Beach.

With gratitude,
Jesse, Cathy, Jose, Rob and the staffs of Mercado, SM and LA.
