“[Mercadito Counter’s] design, from Vincent Celano of the New York-based Celano Design Studio, keeps the feel of Mercadito Hospitality’s other establishments, according to managing partner Alfredo Sandoval. “It was important for us to have Mercadito Counter represent the warmth and vibrancy that our concepts have become known for,” Sandoval says. He credits working with Celano Design Studio previously for the smooth experience on the group’s newest restaurant… Blending rustic elements with traditional Mexican accents, Mercadito Counter’s design is directly inspired by the menu, which mixes Mexican and American street foods.
