Mercado (often referenced as Mercado Mexican Kitchen & Bar) brings a bold, contemporary take on Mexican dining to Nairobi, set on the Terrace Floor of Kenrail Towers in the Westlands/Parklands corridor. Its atmosphere leans vibrant and social—made for unhurried catch-ups, laughter-heavy dinners, and that “one more round” energy that turns a meal into a night out. The menu balances comfort and creativity: tacos, tostadas, quesadillas, and shareable starters that are built for groups, with a reputation for flavour-forward plates and playful twists. There are also vegetarian and vegan-friendly options, making it easy to host mixed preferences without anyone feeling like an afterthought. At the bar, Mercado’s identity really shows—tequila and cocktail culture sit at the center of the experience, with classics like margaritas and a celebratory, “raise-your-glass” mood that suits birthdays, reunions, and spontaneous plans. The space is styled to feel modern and warm at once, pairing urban polish with lively design cues that keep the room feeling energetic even on slower nights. For planning, it’s a straightforward choice: it’s centrally placed in Westlands, easy to meet at, and frequently listed with daily service hours around midday to late evening. If you’re going with a group—especially for a celebration—booking ahead is a smart move so your table matches the moment.
