We just wanted to remind everyone that the merchants of El Mercado are still here!! Small businesses have taken such an economic hit during the pandemic, we are no exception. We were shut down for 2.5 months but reopened June 3! We are open for business Wednesday-Sunday 10-4. We have at door temperature checking , hand sanitizer and mask mandate is posted at entrance. Merchants also provide hand sanitizer throughout building. We’re following CDC/ City protocol for a healthy shopping environment.

We have some special giveaways from Chocolatiers that won't be present at the Affair. One of them is Alamo City Chocolate Factory! They are a local Chocolatier who hand make their chocolate into different shapes and flavors. As a door prize they will be giving away 2 Large Chocolate Hearts filled with chocolates (the heart is actually chocolate) , A chocolate Alamo, a box of assorted chocolates, and a Texas sized chocolate surprise! Be sure to come out and get a chance to win!
