What people say, in short
Many people recommend El Mercado, and two commenters name it among their favorites, while one commenter recommends it for French-style dining. Caveats: a couple of commenters say they used to rate it more highly, and two diners find it pricey. One diner praises the imported cheese selection but says the rest of the large menu tastes premade and reheated, and another calls it very mediocre and says they won't return.
