El Merkury at the Market

We ordered 2 chicharrn pupusas and we were EXTREMELY disappointed with them. These are not authentic pupusas and quite frankly the worst Ive ever had. They did not cook them well and did not add cheese As a Salvadorian myself please do yourself a favor and get pupusas elsewhere.

This is not Guatemalan food. The menu is made up of someones take on what Guatemalan food is, and its a bad take. The food is not good either. I ordered the pupusas and the flavor is not there at all. For some reason they added pickled onions (exact flavor profile from the Dominican Mangu platter) and the tomato sauce was watery without flavor. The description for the pupusa was a stuffed tortilla that should have been enough to make me turn around and save my money. I am married to a Guatemalan and we know good food, this was not that AT ALL. $12 for 2 small and flavorless pupusas, never again. Kid-friendliness: No real space for kids. The markets insanely crowded and people hog the table spaces.

How do you make a bad churro? They have figured it outHARD, overly sweet, dripping with oil. Literally ruined my jeans and bag. SO MUCH OIL.

Staff is very friendly and service is quick! Despite this, I am disappointed in the food. I got the pupusas with chicharrn, which were just okay. The curtido, tomato salsa, and pickled onions did not add much flavor just a lot of vinegar. I was most excited for the elote loco but it was so absolutely bland it had absolutely no flavor to it at all, not even salt! Its deceiving because it looks amazing but honestly it was just bad. I got the original churro, much like the rest of the food, it was just ok but if I would recommend getting their other flavors as this one was boring. I also dont think it was worth it for $6.50. Overall, this seems like a gentrified take on Central American food and I dont recommend at all. Real Central American is so much more flavorful than this.
