Bright & welcoming, Mercadito River North did not disappoint. We were quickly greeted and seated upon entering the restaurant. Our server came over with waters not long after we were seated and gave us time to peruse the menu, following up a couple minutes later asking if we wanted any apps or chips with salsa. We did habanero salsa which was amazing. The enchiladas that I ordered as my main were so good, and hit just right! I left feeling stuffed and very pleased with the cuisine we enjoyed. In all, this was a great choice for our last dinner while visiting Chicago!

We love this place. Bar seats or formal tables or "special overlooking the kitchen" spots are all fun! The food and service is spectacular. Highly recommend for groups and date night! Joe Flamm is the man!
