This mercado was packed with soooo many delicious specialty snacks, foods, ingredients, and drinks. What I ended up picking up was far more than what is pictured below, lol. I picked up a loaf of Pan 3 Quesos and these Juan Valdez flavored instant coffee which was a hit at work!! On my trip, I also grabbed a pack of guayaba, chicharroncitos de guayaba, pan aliñado, and some chocolate covered coconut wafers. Everything was 10/10! Their fresh bread is seriously soooo good.

Thank u Yvonne!!! :)

I love South American food. Peruvian... delicious. Argentinean... delicious. I've even been to…read moreBolivia and loved the food we had there. So it's with a sad heart that I write this mediocre review. My Mom and I each got their Arepa Rellena and found them to be kinda.... blah. Not bad, just bland. Each was served with a side of salsa that looked a lot like pico de gallo and another that was guacamole. The salsas were amazing!! Both had a spicey punch and the guacamole was good enough that I would have drunk it straight if I'd had a cup or two. So it was a little frustrating to look at this spectacular salsa and realize that without it the arepa was more task than joy. Why not serve the arepa with the salsa already mixed in? Or marinate the meat in the salsa? And each arepa was over $10. It was packed generously and I was more full than I expected once I was done, but I couldn't help thinking that for that price I could have had 6 al pastor street tacos and been far more full and FAR more satisfied. Maybe their Bulldogs, Columbian hotdogs, would have blown my mind but after a first impression like this, it's going to be a long time before I ever find out.

She said that if they made the omelette " juicy" it is like raw!

I've tried almost everything on their menu and was never able to find something i ordered enjoyable. It's just not for me. This visit I ordered their Lomo Salteado and the meat was extremely rubbery and unpleasant. My daughter ordered their chicken empanadas and it was a hard no for her too. When we were ready to close out, I asked the waiter as he was clearing some things on our table, if he could bring some to-go boxes when he had a moment for things we didn't finish so we could take them home. He had a butter knife in his hands and threw it onto the table. Rough day I guess. I personally would not come here myself, but continue to do so for my wife. Will update my review when I visit again. Until next time. . .

Figure out what you want to try before going because the menu is intimidating. There's a lot to try out depending on the time of day AND they have daily specials. I have 6 photos full of items that they offer and that is not enough to capture everything they offer. This place has definitely been around a while. Everything is a bit run down due to wear and tear. It kind of gives the place a rustic charm that also works as a small local market. Now I've read some reviews about service here, but I had a very bad experience. It was slow and we often felt ignored. Had to hail down some waiters to get served. Maybe it's because we came for lunch so there weren't as many employees on the floor? Not sure, but that's the only reason for flagging this rating as a 4 star. Food was great and unique. I tried their daily special and realized that I would love to imitate some of their cooking methods. Soup was not what I had expected, but the idea behind the food was there.

You can really tell the food is made with care and traditional recipes. On top of the great food, the service was excellent.
