Mercato Food Hall Brings New Gathering Spot, Craft Cocktails, and Dining to Sorrento Valley

Say hello to Mercato Food Hall, the new gathering spot that’s bringing a whole new flavor to Sorrento Valley!

Similar to the popular Skydeck concept in Del Mar, Mercato Food Hall is meant to be a gathering spot for good food, drinks, and community—not just a grab-and-go option.  

With an indoor-outdoor setup, Mercato is serving up al fresco vibes that encourage you to slow down, linger a bit with friends (and make new ones), and take the sting out of that commute.

From Tacos to Croquettes and More…

Fresh, delicious, and unexpected—that’s the Mercato mantra.

Whether you’re craving street tacos that’ll transport you straight to Tijuana or hankering to explore the flavors of South America, Mercato’s got you covered breakfast, lunch, and dinner, seven days per week.

And guess what? They’re just getting started! More mouthwatering vendors are on the way, so your taste buds will never get bored.

More Than Just a Meal

Smack dab in the middle of this food paradise is The Corner Office Bar, serving as a central gathering spot and serving up craft cocktails, pizza, burgers, and other happy hour fare.

And it’s got TVs to catch your favorite game with friends.

Need a spot to open up the laptop and get some work done? Looking for a different environment for a meeting with the team? Mercato Food Hall has shady corners perfect for getting some work done while enjoying fresh air and fresh food.

See You There!

From the fare they’re serving up to the way they’re engaging with the community, Mercato is bringing a whole new energy to Sorrento Valley.

So the next time you’re crawling along the 805, dreaming of something more exciting than leftovers, make a stop at Mercato. Trust us, you won’t be disappointed. 

Mercato Food Hall is located at 9450 Scranton Road in Sorrento Valley. Follow along on Instagram for updates!

See you there! Just save us a seat at the bar, will ya?
