"My wife and I went here as our last dinner together before she gave birth to our son. We got the short rib tacos as a starter, she got the chicken mole and I ordered the carnitas. We both loved the carnitas, not that she didn't love the chicken mole, but the carnitas was another level. We just had a spectacular pork dish at Jame in El Segundo, and when we both tasted the Mercado Carnitas we couldn't believe we had found the two best pork dishes we have ever had, just weeks apart! We were very lucky that we got a table quickly on a Thursday night without a reservation but you could tell the hosts we're thrown for a loop that we had not made a reservation. By the way I love pairing drinks with food, I highly recommend getting a negra Modelo to go with the carnitas, it was like pairing milk with chocolate chip cookies, meant to go together."
