Yesterday
Monday, June 23, Las Vegas welcomed a new restaurant for casual, creative
Mexican cuisine as Mercadito opened at Red Rock Resort (11011 W. Charleston
Blvd. Las Vegas). Drawing from culinary
experiences of Mexican markets, Mercadito features a wide variety of creative
tacos made with handmade corn masa tortillas, five different guacamoles, three
choices of refreshing ceviche and classic dishes like enchiladas and chile
rellenos. Mercadito Red Rock will spotlight new items crafted specifically for
the Las Vegas location including nachos, ensaldada verde and the Mercadito mac
& cheese. The Tippling Bros.,
Mercadito’s exclusive beverage partner, creates a perfectly designed drink menu
featuring “on draft” cocktails including margaritas, sangria and a variety of
signature drinks, as well as frozen libations, an impressive tequila list and
non-alcoholic aqua frescas. Reservations
are recommended.
Mercadito
will be open for dinner and late-night dining beginning at 4 p.m. with brunch
and lunch opening times announced at a later date. Mercadito is the flagship concept of
Chicago-based Mercadito Hospitality.
