Anoo's review of Mercado Bar & Cantina

Noisy, brash, colourful – you wouldn't go here for a romantic meal for two but it's the ideal venue for a birthday dinner with friends. The cocktail prices are very good – they do an excellent Margarita for under a fiver but the food is rather expensive for N16, especially as some of the portions are rather small but they have frequent 2 for 1 promos that make things much better value. Last time I went there I had a delicious Pollo al Pimenton – chicken breast rolls stuffed with mushrooms served in a creamy, smoky paprika sauce with rice and salad. It's not haute cuisine but its much more authentic than some of the mexican joints around and everything is freshly made and very tasty.
