Mercado, yum, yum.
Loud room, good service, great drinks.
Ate way too much food!
Why go? On the chalkboard it says they have the world’s best flan. That’s great, because they ran out. So go and report back.

Fourteen years ago The Monster decided he was going to eat at every restaurant in the Los Angeles Zagat Guide. Nevermind the city was almost five hundred square miles large, with over 13 million inhabitants, speaking over two hundred and twenty different languages, without a functioning mass transit system.
The Monster is twenty, nineteen, eighteen, seventeen, sixteen, fifteen, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven, ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one, zero meals away from finishing. THE MONSTER HAS EATEN AT EVERY PLACE LISTED IN THE 2011 ZAGAT GUIDE. In total The Monster has eaten at almost 3,000 restaurants in Los Angeles.
This is how I fed the monster.
