The Merc is a small market and grocery in Placitas, convenient for a quick stop at the foothills of the Sandia Mountains. It offers groceries, a deli with grab-and-go sandwiches and combo plates, and beer, wine, and spirits. The store is clean, with friendly and knowledgeable staff. It features fresh bread from a Santa Fe bakery, some local options, fresh produce, and a vegetarian corner. There are organic and gluten-free selections, plus a growler station. Some note the food choices feel dated and that stock can be low, making it better for basics than for specific dietary needs. The new system currently does not accept EBT cards.
Love the people who work there love the place Just got new owners so we shall see where it leads

I love this little market in Placitas. They have a great vegetarian corner with easy to grab and go options. I had their combo plate with tabouleh. olives and tofu salad. It was delicious! They have a little bit of everything and a good wine selection.
