El Mercadito is a great spot in Sicklerville offering both a market and an authentic Mexican restaurant. The food is consistently described as amazing, authentic, delicious, fresh, and wonderful. Dishes like the flavorful beef tacos, soft tamales, comforting chicken and rice, and the perfectly blended burrito with its famous rice are all highly recommended. The food is always fresh and well-prepared, with a perfect balance of spices that provide a tasty zing without being too hot. Portions are perfect. The market is a typical Spanish store stocked mainly with Mexican products alongside items from other countries like Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and El Salvador. It carries all the Spanish ingredients and items one might need, including Hispanic products, fresh vegetables, bread, snacks, candies, piñatas, huge pots and pans, and religious garden statues. This convenience saves a trip to other grocery stores. Service is consistently friendly, pleasant, and great, with a staff noted for their niceness even when the place is packed and busy. The atmosphere and ambiance are inviting and relaxing. The restaurant, located off to the side and back of the main store, is often busy, with off-peak hours between meal times. While wait times can sometimes be longer than expected, the overall experience is fantastic and definitely worth a visit, leaving customers thinking about their next return.
