Mercadito's latest push into the Gold Coast brings fresh, seasonal seafood to the table. Located in The Talbott Hotel, the restaurant aims to provide "familiar and new" dining experiences. With a new menu now available we sat down to find out what it's all about. Dig in.
We're starting strong with a classic Mercadito guacamole complemented by grilled shrimp. Why is it that we can't ever, ever,
ever say no to a guacamole starter?
Put a shrimp on it.
Next up, a plate of lobster tostadas piled high with some of the sweetest meats of the sea. A little avocado mayo never hurts either.

Here's a salad with shrimp and squid included.
Sauteed shrimp and calamari salad with baby spinach, frisse, pickled jicama slaw and apple-tamarind vinaigrette.
Bring on the main course(s)! This classic chile relleno has been stuffed with seafood.

The signature dish is actually called the Mercadito Fish. It's a marinated whole Red Snapper with mexican style coleslaw and chipotle vinaigrette. As impressive as it looks, this is one of the larger entrees.

Say hello to my little friend...
