Mercado 925

Great place to have some tequila cocktails, and the food is delicious! On the back of the restaurant is a selection of Tequila for sale. Stephanie help us get some good Tequila.

A friend recommended we check out this spot, and am I glad we did. I haven’t had tex-mex/Mexican style food this good since I lived in Texas. The chips were seasoned (such a rare thing, and VERY MUCH appreciated), the main dishes were flavorful, and the service was good too. Definitely will be going here again at some point. Highly recommend.

My new favorite Michelada spot! The carnitas tacos were delicious!!

Just great tasting food. Paloma was tasty and strong. Guacamole and chips were fresh and spicy. Plantain with beans superb. Empanada Mole perfecto! I’ll be back.

The food was absolutely delicious—the enchiladas and potato tacos were especially good. The servers were very friendly, and the ambience was lovely. The desserts, however, were the highlight for me. I tried Mercado Pot De Crème. Highly recommend checking it out!

Honestly might be one of the best sit down Mexican restaurants I’ve been to. We went on a Tuesday, and it wasn’t that busy but that atmosphere was calm and intimate. There were still some big groups around us but it never felt loud and the tables are small but it still was cozy and slightly elevated. It was me and a friend so we ordered 2 tacos from the Taco Tuesday deals. The chicken taco and the spicy pulled pork. The chicken was honestly so good. It tasted like shawarma chicken; juicy and packed with flavor. The spicy pulled pork also packed in a lot of flavor. They also had a special of the day for $10 which was a blue corn tortilla quesadilla. We also got the Mercado nachos with spicy salsa (wasn’t too spicy). All of that ran us to about $25 for each of us. Every single bite from this place was sublime. Their plating is simple but adds to their vibe of authenticity. Will definitely be back here.

This place is now on our list of best Mexican food. The reviews are totally legit—everything we ordered was absolutely delicious! We started with the guacamole and chips and chicken empanadas, both fantastic. The guacamole came with an extra spicy salsa that added the perfect kick. For mains, we had Carne Asada tacos, Carnitas tacos, and a beef enchilada. Every dish tasted incredibly fresh, and the meats were perfectly cooked. Even the enchiladas, which can sometimes feel heavy, were flavorful without being overwhelming. The service was a perfect 10/10—friendly, attentive, and quick. The restaurant is spotless and beautifully decorated with a clean, modern Mexican vibe. If you’re looking for an upscale yet authentic Mexican restaurant, this spot should be at the top of your list.

We stumbled upon this awesome Mexican restaurant by chance and were totally blown away. The food was incredible, the service was super friendly, and our dishes came out really fast. The value is unbeatable – highly recommend! Quick tip: You have to try the quesadillas... they're to die for! 🫠

Absolutely delicious, the food was an incredible celebration of taste. A true feast for the eyes and the soul. The new extension of the restaurant feels like a vacation zone, transporting you far away from Berkeley. With great service, generous offerings, and reasonable prices, it’s a must-visit spot to experience. We love to come hear for Lunch, dinner, or and celebration 🎈

Amazing lunch! Carnitas tacos, spicy carnitas empanadas, chicken tacos, and ceviche were all on point. Fresh margaritas and solid tequila list. Must try!

"Mercado 925 is a MUST-VISIT! Their Ceaser salad is a 10/10 - perfectly crafted with crisp romaine, tangy dressing, and crunchy crouton. But what really puts it over the top is their Grill Chicken - juicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection!

Tropical Tamarindo with mezcal is the best cocktail here. We also had fish taco and Al pastor tacos to go. The fish is super crab, but pastors were even better. Space is gorgeous.

The most delicious Mexican food in a town full of amazing Mexican cuisine. The ambiance is cozy and lively. The mole was the best ever. A crowd-pleasing kids menu is available on request. We will definitely be back as a family and hopefully for a date night too. It would also be an amazing place to bring out of town guests.

We've been here several times and everything we've had has been delicious. Yesterday I had the green chicken enchiladas with green rice and refried pinto beans. Every bite was so perfectly seasoned and good. The rice had a great texture. The refried beans perfect. But the enchiladas were absolutely the best chicken enchiladas I have ever had. The chicken was flavorful and moist with a little cheese. The sauce had just the right amount of heat. But what really elevated the enchiladas was the handmade heirloom tortillas. Thicker than the usual tortillas for a great bite and so flavorful from the masa. I can't wait to come back but what to have? The tacos? The chile rellano? It will be difficult to choose.

Beautiful interiors, great quality food for the price and good service!! We each had tacos trios and loved the fish, pancetta and carnitas and mole! We thought the guac was super tasty and cups hot and salty!

Stumbled upon Mercado 925 a few months ago and have been back several times. Continually impressed. We recently celebrated my husband’s birthday with a large party and it was flawless. Great food drinks and service! They were flexible and accommodating - couldn’t have been more pleased. Drinks at the bar, intimate dinner or group gathering with friends you won’t be disappointed.

It's a nice big area and the tables are spread out so you have your privacy. The food and service was good. The flan however was very disappointing.

Elevated Mexican fusion, in my old neighborhood, (or one of them, at least) serving really fresh high-end Mexican food with a homestyle touch. Ceviche is to die for, platanos and mole are off the charts, And while the carne asada tacos were tender and fresh they didn't have a lot of flavor for me, maybe the result of cooking for people around here with mild tastes. Excellent tequila and drink selection which I did not take advantage of this time around. I'm not sure if it's like this all the time but during this lunch crowd, you go up to the counter and order yourself and they bring stuff to your table, which is okay I guess. Staff is really nice and courteous, the place is spacious and nice inside place a nice place to get away from the noise of the world, and I think it would be great to bring a large party of people here. I'll be back soon!

After touring around Berkeley we stopped into Mercado 925 for a lovely Mexican dinner. We started with tamarind margaritas, guacamole & chips followed by their La Remolacha salad (greens, beets and mango in a basil dressing). For mains, she had the Pozole Verde (hominy soup with chicken) and I had the vegetarian enchiladas de mole.

I've been wanting to try this place out for some time and finally was able too. The decor was cool in the new extended section of their tequila store. There is an upstairs area for seating. We started with the guacamole and chips and they were good, but some of the chips were stale. The beet salad was okay, but I liked the dressing. The al pastor tacos were also okay. The al pastor was not as juicy and flavorful. The vibes were cool, but the food that day fell flat for me.

Food tastes average but this place is just ridiculously expensive, I’ve been here 3 times and tried few different things the quesadilla was good but on the small side for the price, the flautas were good, today my friend and I tried the mole and it was tasteless, the ceviche was a very small portion and it was dry no spice to it, no salt lacking flavor. I also had the octopus tacos they were also average nothing wow. They also charge $6 for chips and salsa which is outrageous. The service was below average all the 3 times I’ve been there the guys working there didn’t seem to be happy to be there. You would expect more for the prices and having to order at the counter. Overall the place is beautiful but too pricey for the quality of food and service.
