So I was around the Folsom area, and some guy calls me over to hand me a flyer about a new restaurant that just recently opened over at Mercury Lounge which serves caribbean. I was a little skeptical at first, since there weren’t many people inside, but because my girl was hungry and i had never eaten caribbean food, we decided to give this place a try.
Not knowing what to order, I asked the waiter for a recommendation. He suggested we try the pulled pork tacos and jerk chicken tacos. Considering I like pulled pork sandwiches, I decided to give the tacos a try.
To my amazement, both tacos were off the hook! I didn’t think a lounge/​bar could produce such wonderful foods. I’m usually not big on food at lounges, but the tapas here are something to rave about. The pulled pork was very tender; the meat practically melts in your mouth with every bite. The jerk sauce is made with habanero which gives it a good kick. To top it off, an ice cold beer to quench my thirst.
As I said, I’m not a big fan on bar food, but I just had to take the time to review this place. This is a place to suggest to your friends food some good tapas and a nice cold brew. Unfortunately, the folsom area is not as boisterous as before, but I hope this place will bring back the crowds. Even if you’re going to holy cow or any other clubs in the neighboring area, you should definately stop by Mercury Lounge/​Vincy Sunset and grab yourself some tapas.

We stopped here for a late night snack of sweet potato beignets and ice cream. The beignets were great — they were hot out of the fryer and went really well with the ice cream. My friend got the jerk chicken tacos, which he really enjoyed (I didn’t try them, but they looked good).
We chatted with the chef who told us that they just opened this spot a couple of weeks ago. He seemed like a very nice guy and I hope this place ends up being successful so they can serve some good eats during normal dinner hours instead of only late at night.
The space itself was huge and empty (it was around 12 am)…I think it might also be a bar but that isn’t all that clear.
