El Mercadito

It's an awesome little Latin shop right next to the High School. They have awesome pasteles, or pastries made fresh. They also have snacks and even some produce and ingredients. They have cakes, which are pretty good. They have cheese, spices, dried peppers, tortillas, sauces, and drinks. Pretty much your Mexican essentials. But the lesser known part of them is that they also serve some of the best and most authentic food in town. Their birria is probably their best option, though their other tacos are good too. Their birria combo box is a lot of food for a great price and has tons of birria products, like tacos, nachos, and a giant "pizza." The prices are good, and the service is awesome, though I'd suggest learning some Spanish to better communicate. Their soda and juice options are also nice. Overall, it's an inexpensive and delicious option to support small, local businesses with.

🔥🔥🔥 first birra tacos. Far from the last. Soo good. The meat falls apart. Flavored to perfection. I’ll be back soon to try the rest of the menu. Thanks El Mercado!

A little slice of Mexico in NY. Great tacos, good selection of spices, fresh baked goods, and other little Mexican goodies.
Ya volveré cuanto antes!

Tried the al pastor and chorizo tacos...fast, friendly service...most importantly these tacos are legit. The market itself is interesting too. A taco uptown will cost you $5. They are $2 each here, but you have to get at least two per. Not sure why it took me so long to come here.

Good tacos, friendly service and well stocked store

The store is now called Kingston Market I've been shopping there for years it has really changed over the years they have done a complete upgrade serving hot food the store has clean floors & aisles friendly and courteous I always leave a tip at the meat market never ever had a problem with the meat tho I have heard others have I have never have I love the music I love dancing in the aisle. I just love the atmosphere to me a it is a pleasant place to shop there I will continue to shop there

Very good food. I was a bit shy going in, but well worth it. This is real deal authentic mexican food! It might not be as upscale as some other restaurants in town, but this place is better tasting and cheaper! Win-win. I'll most certainly be going back and taking pictures of the food next time!

I came for the birria tacos, I left a Woman. So so good, holy cow

Visited from Massachusetts great tacos

Amazing pan dulce
Coming from the state of Maryland. Recommend

Delicious and authentic Mexican food and grocery. Everything I've had they're has been absolutely delicious. I definitely recommend El Mercadito!

Amazing little family-owned spot here in Kingston. The best and most authentic Mexican food in the area, period

They are always fantastic and have the best treats! My favorite is the mango loco.

The server was so nice so I shared a joke and got my meal on the house. Great place for classic Mexican food

Always friendly, excellent fresh ingredients and great selection. Try the tostadas!!

Best Mexican food in kingston if it wasn't in the ghetto would be so much better always avoid going down there

Hard to find menu items, delicious homemade food, very authentic

Terrific everything!
Order in advance, everything is made from scratch and well worth it!

Wonderful little shop for great food and some basic needs.

Best Hispanic food place in town.
