Here’s all you need to complete Mercado District in Saints Row. There are 5 Threats, 2 Side Hustles, 13 Discoveries and 3 Stores.
THREATS – 5
Threats will unlock when you follow the Campaign Missions. After you’ve completed the “Networking” Campaign Quest, you get to fight the threats in a District.
Clear all five threats in Mercado District to increase your venture’s income.
See the threats in the overview map below.
SIDE HUSTLES – 2
Side Hustles are shown in the color blue on the map. They are basically Side Quests. Those two Side Hustles are connected and are both part of the @Tcha Side Hustle that you pick up in the Mercado area:
1 – @TCHA – SIDE HUSTLE START
This Side Hustle is at the Library in the northern part of the Mercado area.
Talk to Sylvia. She’s standing on the square right behind the “Library” sign on the screenshot above. She will then send you to a couple of areas to leave a bad review on the @Tcha Board in front of the shop.
2 – @TCHA – BATTER UP DONUTS
The second Side Hustle is one of those @Tcha boards at the Mercado District. It’s a Donut Shop called “Batter Up Donuts”. Just interact with the @tcha board and leave a rating. The lower the rating the bigger the cash and XP rewards. Locations don’t disappear and can be repeated.
DISCOVERIES – 13
Discoveries only show up on the map when you’re close to one. They are displayed as yellow item. There are several different Discoveries and actions that have to be taken to beat them.
At the Mercado District, there are 2 Photo Hunts, 9 Drug Pallets, 1 Weather Station and 1 Dumpster Diving activity.
Here’s the overview map:

2 – DRUG PALLET PICKUP 1, 2 & 3
There are three Drug Pallets just at the center of the Mercado district. Look for a blue truck with a caravan. That’s the starting point.
Drug Pallet 1 is on the roof of a building in the center of the map. Climb on top of the car to get on the roof.
For Drug Pallet 2 stay on the roof. From Pallet 1’s location, keep on climbing facing north.
Last is Drug Pallet 3. From Pallet 5’s location, face north and climb the high roof. That’s where Pallet 6 is.

Again, in the center of Mercado District are three Drug Pallets.

The weather monitoring station can launch you high in the air if you shoot the winch just right.
Weather Stations are yellow and blue towers with a bright shining light at the top.

There are three Drug Pallets just at the southern border of the Mercado district.
Drug Pallet 7 is on the roof of a building. Just climb it to get up there!
Drug Pallet 8 is on the roof right across from Pallet 7. Just climb over there to get it.
Drug Pallet 9 is at the same location. From the Pallet 8 location climb up the next higher roof. From there, climb over the smaller wall to get to the Pallet (see Screenshots).
