Best Restaurants for Foodies in Roscoe Village

I love this restaurant with friendly service and a creative menu! I tried the corned beef hash and eggs and it was next level!

This place is fantastic! Don’t let the unassuming old school diner look fool you - food and service here were top notch. Took my bestie here for her first night out since having a baby and although we may not have, this place kept it classy! Our group of 4 arrived, having already imbibed, quite rambunctious and ready to take it further. The server handled us and the situation with grace. Yasmin was kind and patient as she took our order and played it cool when the topic of drinks came up. Without drawing attention, they kept the waters flowing and the fried appetizers coming. The food was a surprise and delight as each dish ordered arrived looking different than any of us had imagined. Potted carrots, frito misto, and the grapes in the ravioli were just a few of the delights. Was it the pre-game, or is this a fun menu? We may never know. That said, they didn’t make a scene when my friend lost her napkin 6x or had red lipstick on her face and hands, or when the new mom pulled the pumps off at the table. If you saw us, no you didn’t. While we eventually redeemed ourselves enough to be allowed 1 round of drinks with our pasta dishes, we left quietly and on our own accord, ensuring Yasmin was given an additional tip on top of the included 25% gratuity. Thanks for having us and treating us with care. We love you, Daisies!

This restaurant does not disappoint. I frequently come here because it's across the street from my office. Great food and service.

Pro's: Service was top tier and attentive. The ox ragu was phenomenal however that focaccia bread service hit the spot. Con: The Salmon came out ice cold, like not even room temp and lacked all flavor however it was cooked to perfection which confused us both. Overall I would go back again.

We enjoyed a great "birthday" lunch at Mercadito! The food and drinks were absolutely delicious—so flavorful and thoughtfully prepared. Every bite was a delight, and the creative cocktails complemented the meal perfectly. The staff was wonderful, attentive, and incredibly accommodating. They went out of their way to ensure everything was just right, making the experience even more enjoyable. I highly recommend Mercadito to anyone looking for a fantastic dining experience!
