Spectacular for what it is. It’s Guatemalan street food served with style but without affectation. I had the chicken taquitos, which were crispy, hot, and served in a very distinctive sauce. It’s presumably slightly more expensive than real street food just as it is fancier, but it’s hardly pricey.
I see this place every time I go to work and I finally had the time to stop by and I have to say I was very very pleased with what I ordered, the timing, the quality, the presentation, the freshness and flavor combinations. I got a combo with a chicharron pork pupusa and chicken tostada with guacamo

It’s very delicious. The main items here worth trying are the tostadas, pupusas, and taquitos. In addition, the ch
The food was so good! I got a pupusa and taquito combo, and it came with a choice of sides (I got cheese baked rice with jalapeños and corn & plantain chips). It might not look like that much food, but it’s very very filling and flavorful, and great value for the food. We also got the rittenhouse an
We loved El Merkury! I would rate the churros as the best item. In fact, we purchased two for our group of six, but they were consumed so quickly that I didn't even get a picture. LOL! The freshly made churros went perfectly with the ice cream and cute toppings. The street corn was also good, as wer
