Very rude employees and their empanadas are disgusting.

We live down the block and they have great priced steak, you can purchase sides Togo from tango sur and always a few potatoes or onions to cook with our steaks and the staff is always so helpful!

Yerba mate! Empanadas! Alfajores! Really tasty empanadas, too! This store has made our trip to Chicago worthwhile all by itself!

Eduardo Rios

Great place for Argentinean and Uruguayan style meats, Uruguayan Yerba Mate and Brazilian sweets. Great empanadas and alfajores. Nice folks too!

Ana Clara Fay

Good assortment of Brazilian foods and other south american countries! They have picanha!

Derek Ramos

My favorite place to buy Yerba Mate. El Mercado has the best selection for Yerba Mate outside Argentina! Love this place !

Denise Thole

Cute store with great prices on steaks and groceries. The Homemade empanadas are fabulous!

Dulce de leche is kind of expensive. They don't sell alcohol, sadly. Good meat selection although none of the meat comes from Argentina actually

Sarah Giroux

Best empanada of my life! WOAH! I recommend the corn or chicken. Be careful... they will melt in your mouth and heart.

Quality cuts of meat. They speak Spanish. A little pricey than I'm use to but hey they are 1 block away from me.

Candace Campbell

Southport has tons of empanada shops, but El Mercado is by far the best one. Great selection of meats and interesting products as well.

Rating this just on the empanadas. 3.8/5. The empanadas were tasty and full of meat, but I found the meat under-seasoned and on the bland slide. Still good, but 5411 empanadas were better.

Mike Stopka

great meat market. Small selection, but what they have is great. You can't beat the price either, much lower than Paulina or Gene's and the quality is top-notch.

Manuel Medina

Bad customer service and very salty empanadas.

phil forgetaboutit

The sweet beef empanadas are excellent! They are also at tango sur, folklore, bodega sur and ñ. All great places!

Great assortment of south American goods. Nice that they have a butcher but the meat, the beef short ribs were really heavy with fat, not good quality. Great service!

Stanley Rhodes

It was so fresh. This place has an awesome atmosphere.

I've only had the empanadas, about 6-7 varieties. The first time they were great. The second time several were dried out and too salty. The third time they were just okay. The sweet beef is my favorite, and the corn is surprisingly tasty as well. Other empanada places include salsa but this place charges 50 cents for a tiny cup. It's cash-only but empanadas are just a couple of bucks each.

I go to el Mercado every week, they have the best empanadas, service is great and the Argentine atmosphere is very nice

For a butcher they have a surprising amount of vegetarian options for empanadas. I highly recommend the eggplant and caprese. The have some imported sodas that are super yummy too.

Small selection. Staff watched me like a hawk but they didn't have anything I was looking for so I bought a can of beans.

Emma Terhaar

The empanadas are spectacular!!

Evelyn Rosales

I tried the beef , chicken and spinach empanadas, beef and chicken too salty and wasn't that great like they say in the Chicago's Best show but try it for yourself and be the judge I won't be back, otherwise nice people small store with small butcher shop and a selection of Spanish products
