El Mercadito
Last Saturday, Ruth and I tried out a new restaurant/cafe in Guelph called El Mercadito. Finding the place on 6A-650 Woodlawn Road West was a bit tricky, but we found it, right across the road from the mall and Galaxy movie theatre.
Not sure what to have, we decided to order a bunch of stuff from the menu and split them between ourselves. The only dish not pictured above was our main course (by the time I realized that I had forgotten to take a picture of it, it was more than half gone, and not so presentable anymore. Fail!). Everything was delicious, and the service was excellent. If you love real authentic latino food, I highly recommend El Mercadito**.
**Note: Last I checked, the links on their website weren’t working, but the page in question has more of their food featured.
UPDATE: April 10, 2011- I went by here today and it appears that the restaurant is closed, at least at this location.
Wow, the mango salad looks delish! What’s in the first picture? Is that a soup? It kinda looks like chocolate pudding…

Lol, that is red bean soup (it was really good!). While I’m at it, the second item is a papusa, filled with refried beans and cheese. Definitely try the salad!
