Unexpected Lunch Stop - Worth It!…read more I wasn't planning on eating here yesterday, but with the holiday, a few of my favorite spots were closed. Since I was in the neighborhood and short on time, I decided to stop in for a quick lunch--and I'm glad I did! The service was fast and efficient. The food is served hot, and you simply pick what you want, making the whole process super convenient. They give you a generous portion for a great price, and if you're dining in, the staff even brings your food right to the table, which was a nice touch. Whether you're looking for a quick takeout option or a sit-down meal, this spot is a solid choice for delicious Dominican food. Fast, filling, and flavorful--definitely worth a stop! Everything was clean and staff was friendly.

El Mercado is a supermarket with a cool food court on Park Street in Hartford. The food court,…read morewhich includes a Mexican spot, a Peruvian spot, a Colombian spot and a Dominican spot was the draw for me. There's a bit of seating and I ate my Oxtail, fried plantains, and rice and beans there. It was very good. I imagine the market has a wider selection of foods and goods you might need for Hispanic and Latino cooking. The Parking Lot is a bit tricky, both in terms of finding a spot and navigating your way out if you're lucky enough to get into the lot. El Mercado is a classic Hartford place you should check out at least once. Four Stars

Unfortunately, I experienced food poisoning after trying the Dominican food vendor. I ordered a…read moresimple meal of rice, beans, and pork, but the rice was burnt, and the pork was dry. It became clear the food wasn't good once I got home. I value proper sanitation, and I noticed the woman serving the food wasn't wearing gloves. I didn't take a picture at the time because I honestly forgot, but I don't think I'll be trying their food again..

I also ordered a pastellios de carne but they gave me one with cheese and sauce instead that reminded me of pizza. Lastly , my favorite was rellenos de papa and theirs was pretty good. I also ordered a coco drink that was basically coconut and it was good. The lady who took our order was really nice and the food was done so fast . We literally did not have to wait any time at all. There was also a bar that a few people were hanging out at enjoying themselves. I don't live here, but I would definitely come back if I did.

Overpriced dark location. Ate here twice in ten years. The signs are confusing. Every item is $12…read more Nowhere to dine in although there is a spacious dining room in restaurant.

One of my dad's favorite spots at Parkville and I finally tried it. I liked the mofongo but felt it…read morecould have had a bit more flavor. The chicken was just fried chicken tenders with a decent sauce but it was just poured on top of the chicken rather than fully coated. Not bad, would go back again but might order something different.

I typically order delivery and the food is consistently good and affordable…read more The chicken mofonguitos are one of my favorite things to eat in the Hartford area. The plantain is always just the right texture and the chicken is very tender. It doesn't really travel well though so you just have to use a fork to put everything back together. The steak is good, but it is a bit salty and the white rice cancels it out a bit. Super filling!

Our meeting with 17 women and 8 Hartford Police officers who came to answer our questions about personal and Internet safety was a positive experience, led by our friend Hyacinth Yennie. This community activist spends her time at the Senior Citizen Wellness Center down the street, where she leads activities and trips for older residents of the neighborhood. Delicious food, attentive service, and affordable prices made this restaurant a positive choice for our monthly support group meeting. The hors d'oeuvres, sandwiches, and desserts hit the spot while we engaged with South End police officers who answered our questions about safety and gave short, helpful talks. All in all, it was a positive experience. We will return for the delicious Spanish food and the excellent service from the wait staff. Thank you, Lo Sano, for a wonderful dining experience. We thanked our friend HyavinthYennie for recommending such a good place for our group to meet and enjoy a delicious meal. Thank you, Lo Sano, for a wonderful dining experience.

Was in the area and decided to try this place and oppose to my usually Spanish food spot. Not 100%…read moresure about street parking in Hartford so I made sure not to park near the corner since there is not a parking lot. The dinning area was homey and place smelt really good. My usual go to foods are alcapurrias, morcilla, cuchofrito. They did have alcapurrias $1.25 which is not bad, but the quality of it is not worth it. Is was about 2 fingers width and thickness. To have been 10 something in the am I could tell that this was not freshly made Today which is disappointing as well. Besides it being cold and dry the ends were hard. First and last time trying those at this location. I got a little plate to go of if arroz con gandules y pernil for my husband. I am hoping that we have a better outcome on the taste. Oh, not for nothing but thank god I wasn't in a major rush or distracted by other customers as I was the only one there as I gave the cashier a $20 and she gave me back the incorrect change. Honest mistake I guess but I know if I just grabbed my money and kept it moving I wouldn't have been able to go back and inform them I was short changed. Arroz con gandules y pernil is fresh, seasoned well and very very good !!!!! I would recommend someone try that !!

The only downside for me was the chicken empanada it had way more dough than meat inside, which I didn't expect. I was hoping for a better balance of filling. Aside from that, the experience was still pretty decent.

The staff here is really sweet. You can come for a quick bite or a real delicious plate of food!…read moreThe drinks are also good! I was craving rice & meat. So I got pernil with arroz con gandules.
