El Mercado Modern Cuisine - Santa Ana

The food and drinks were quite tasty, but the prices felt a bit high for the portion sizes. The music was very loud, making it difficult to have a conversation at the table. I received a dirty glass, but it was promptly replaced when I asked for a clean one, although no apology was offered.

It was a gathering of 5 women celebrating a special birthday. Horrible restaurant temperature. It was as extremely hot. We asked the sever 3 times about the air conditioner setting. The air was clearly not on. And she gave 3 different vague answers. Never replied directly. Never apologized. Never brouht the manager over to explain anything about the environment. Overall epic fail.

This restaurant is very upscale, great food and ambiance. Drinks are the specialty.

What an incredible experience! We went to celebrate my sister's birthday, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The food was simply exquisite, and I had the chance to try crickets for the first time—let me tell you, they were surprisingly delicious! I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. The tacos, empanadas, and the coconut dessert were all absolute perfection. To top it off, our server was fantastic and exceptionally kind. A flawless 10/10!

With an award to their name, one would expect the food to be exceptional. Unfortunately, this restaurant is surprisingly quiet, and now I understand why. The food simply doesn’t justify the cost. It's disappointing, and I urge them to elevate their standards if they want to maintain that award. It's time to stop the misleading advertising.
