Mercado Cocina Cantina - Glenview

Nice little cantina in the Glen with a Mexican flair. This is the second version of the menu that we have seen and enjoyed both. Now they may be on their way to a third. Let's hope they make it. This is a nice options to have on Glenview. More expensive than expected, but I think you can partially blame the pandemic for that and the food has always been delicious. A new menu and some price reductions may help this spot to hop. Good luck.

Best pork tacos! Handmade tortillas. The guacamole is a little different with while cherry tomatoes, but still very tasty. Try the pineapple lemongrass agua fresca so refreshing!! We loved the food, but the service was a little lacking for how busy it was for lunch (only 2 other tables and us, so maybe 6 7 people total). We will definitely be back again for margaritas this time!

Exquisite dining experience. I’ve got to say I was pleasantly surprised by the presentation and taste of this Mexican cuisine. Everything was tasty, unique and served at perfect temperature. Compliments to the chef! It wasn’t cheap, especially drinks, but I think it was definitely worth it. I recommend the rack of lamb and the octopus. Simply phenomenal.

This place is SO AMAZING. I live out of town but fly in every month and this place is the first spot I go to when I leave the airport. Located in glenview by the train station, but I swear it is something you would find downtown in Chicago. The food is PHENOMENAL, I cannot stress that enough. The drinks are just as amazing. My go to is the guava margarita with guacamole and the shrimp and mushroom quesadillas. The carne asada is my fav dish to get along with the elote. The service is just as amazing as the food! Olga is always attentive and on her game! Love seeing her just as much as I love eating the food. If you come here, I guarantee this will be a new favorite spot of yours!

We stopped here for brunch and were very happy with their brunch menu. They have a beautiful presentation of really delicious Mexican food. They also serve items that I don't generally think of as Mexican but they add a Mexican twist. The Salmon dish was gorgeous! They also offered very friendly service. Our toddlers even had a mini Spanish lesson and learned that gracias means thank you. Free parking is available in the attached lot.
