Restaurant Preview: The Mercantile
Know something we don't?
The Sanchez family has operated popular restaurants in the borderland between Culver City and Marina del Rey for years, so when their ground-up new restaurant opened earlier this year, it took about five minutes for word to get around that here was a place you could dress up and go out with the family to celebrate a birthday or anniversary without breaking the ATM machine. The spacious dining room features striking wall murals with portraits of mid-20th century Mexican film stars and singers, handsome booths and colonial-style tables and chairs and a stage where Mariachi Internacional Tapatio holds forth Thursdays through Sundays in sets from as early as 5 p.m. on Sundays. The food is festive Mexican (mushroom-stuffed sole served on cilantro with habanero pesto, for example) and entree prices top out at $25 (for rib-eye steak with sides) though most are in the $15 range. Of course, you could add $19 to your bill by ordering the Millionaire Margarita, but that's another story.
