Austin Restaurant Guide

El Mercado Restaurants started on the front porch of our south Austin location twenty three years ago, serving breakfast tacos at a Mexican food market. The market's gone, but the tacos stayed. You can still find the breakfast tacos on Saturday and Sunday mornings in all three of our locations but this favorite Austin local restaurant expanded to offer you more services. Did you know we offer catering to all of your special functions and parties? (Please see our catering page for further information) At El Mercado, everything is prepared daily with fresh, healthy ingredients. Of course, that also includes the most reliable and professional service. Our staff is dedicated to offering the world class tex mex cuisine and exceptional service you expect both from our catering and our establishments! We're still locally owned and proud to Keep Austin Weird! Come and enjoy it all at one of our locations and see why El Mercado has been a local favorite.
