Mercado’s at 2214 WSW Loop 323, Tyler, Texas 75701 established August, 1987. Posados is affiliated with Mercado’s, it’s the sister restaurant. When I was younger I worked for Mercado’s and loved the food and the people but that is not why I am writing about it. I enjoy going there with my family and friends and having a good meal and great service.. I love their fajitas. I always order them because they are so good. Home made tortillas (flour or corn)….great salsa and home made chips makes for a good appetizers. Some of their other entrees are tamales, chilupas, tacos and enchiladas. If you are trying to loose some weight they have some great salads.
Mercado’s is a great place just to go have a few drinks with your friends after work. They have a small bar area there…where you can chill and enjoy a drink and watch some great sports on the TV. Margaritas are pretty good there.
You can reserve an area for a private party if you would like. They set up a buffet serving area for your private party. They offer some great desserts when you are done with your meal. Bunuel’s for two or a sundae. Money too tight…… free frozen custard on the house and usually free sopapias which are great with some butter (mystery oil mixture) and honey. The service is good and the food even better.
Looking for a job, this Mexican restaurant is a great place to make great money. It is hard work and long hours, which is OK if you are prepared for this. Waiting tables at Mercado’s means you walk out daily with the profit you made and don’t have to wait for a paycheck, although you do get a small guaranteed pay. Mercado’s is a great place whether you choose to work there or dine.

Mercado’s/Posada’s, Tyler, TX
8 out of 10 Stars – Rate Posado’s and Mercado’s and Give a Customer Review
If you haven’t had the chance to try out either Mercado’s or Posada’s Mexican Restaurants in Tyler, TX, you should. With good prices, excellent food and menu choices either of these restaurants is an excellent choice for lunch or dinner, weekend or weekday. Although the restaurants are considered Mexican, the menu consists of more of a “Tex-Mex” flavor rather than authentic Mexican. Complimentary tortilla chips and salsa available along w/fresh flour or corn tortillas as long as each diner orders another menu item as a meal, even if it‘s an appetizer. These mexican restaurants also serve barbeque quail and have been for years. Good stuff! On very rare occasions, “fresh” tortillas are questionable but I’ve very rarely experienced this. Because of the popularity of the Tyler restaurants, long waits may be expected at typical dining hours, especially on weekends. Most wait staff is attentive to customers and food delivery is considered average as compared to most dine-in restaurants. On a couple of occasions, waiter/waitress has been some-what neglecting to our needs. But overall, any opportunity to dine at Mercado’s or Posada’s is well worth it.
