Cajun-fusion cuisine and a Mexican eatery come to Emeryville Public Market

Two new restaurants recently landed in the Public Market Emeryville, an ever-changing food court in the tiny but intriguing city.

Mamacita Cocina Mexicana opened in December at a corner stall inside the market, located at 5959 Shellmound St. Mamacita describes itself as a “fast-paced Mexican eatery inspired by the vibrant flavors of Mexico and the fresh, local ingredients of California.” It is run by the people behind Papito, a restaurant in San Francisco’s Potrero Hill neighborhood that cooks organic Mexican cuisine.
