Your First Look at Mercadito Counter, Opening Tomorrow

Grid View

Though tomorrow is officially the first day you can step inside Mercadito Counter, the "Mexican deli" from Mercadito Hospitality, you can see what it looks like today. With a menu featuring Mexican twists on American comfort food, the bright, colorful space looks nothing like your typical hot dog joint.

You can see the possibility of a franchise taking shape in the selection and placement of the tchotchke, which shares shelf space with cans and bottles of ingredients used. Featuring a good amount of vivid art lining the walls, one wall is even devoted to the ingredients in the restaurant's "The Mexican" (a bacon-wrapped hot dog). It all evokes a fun, casual spirit inspired by executive chef Patricio Sandoval's childhood in Acapulco.
