dianefrank+FollowSouth Austin’s El Mercado gets a new lifeEl Mercado’s 40-year run in South Austin is ending, but the spirit of this beloved Tex-Mex spot isn’t going anywhere. Instead of condos or a chain, the building will soon become De Nada Taco, run by a local hospitality group that promises to keep much of El Mercado’s menu and staff. Longtime fans can expect the same salsa, live music, and community vibes—with a fresh twist and a fully gluten-free menu. It’s bittersweet, but it feels like the best possible handoff for a true neighborhood institution. What memories do you have from El Mercado? #Food #SouthAustin #ElMercado00Share
