THIS PLACE RIGHT HERE!!!!! Best Puerto Rican food ever!!!…read more When you go in there, there may be a long line, but it's worth the wait! The food is fresh and delicious. I've been coming here for years and I always brag about this place. I don't care how long is the drive but I'm always there! The place is so clean inside the staff is Amazing the owner she's great and respectful! If I could give this review more than five stars I would, literally top three restaurants in Connecticut

The portions here are huge! I mean you have lunch and dinner in one plate. Maybe even lunch again…read more The pork and rice is amazing and perfectly cooked. The fried pork chunks were a bit dry but they usually are anyway. The onion and peppers it comes with is a good addition. Highly recommend this place

Still great bites for a good price…read more I come here from time to time. This place is very much a good quality but ample portions place. So for those looking to fill their bellies with good eats then this place fits the bill. Tried their birria tacos, and they were cheesy and greasy in the best way. The consommé was flavorful and not too overpowering. You could eat it like a soup and be pleasantly surprised. The beef was tender but a little dry. Needed the broth. As a quick casual bite place, it's a very solid place to go. The parking lot is the biggest gripe, but outside of the businesses control. Worth a try if you're hungry and want lots of good food

My friend and I tried Baja's for lunch today and were very pleasantly surprised. We had never heard…read moreof Baja's despite being in the area often, but we are so glad we got a chance to try it. We ordered a wet burrito and a chimichanga, both of which were delicious and huge, especially for the price. The food was all very fresh tasting and cooked/prepared perfectly. We also chose to eat in the restaurant, which for a quick-service place was quite cozy and inviting. Overall, great prices, great food, and great convenience. We will definitely be returning soon.

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..

My friend and I stopped by Salsas 4 Taqueria for some tacos. I've never been here before, but they…read moreare popular in the area. The inside walls are super colorful, even the ceiling is vibrant red. This is more of a pick up place, despite that they still have adequate seating available. Their menu is large with salads, soups, enchiladas, tacos, burritos and more. My friend got an order of three tacos off their specials menu. They featured jack cheese, skirted steak, guacamole with corn and cilantro. I got two pork belly tacos with red onion and cilantro. These tacos are super fresh, flavorful and filling! Granted my friend's order was a lot more filling, I was also happy with my smaller portion. I appreciate them, since they are primarily a take out spot, they still served us in proper dishware, none of that disposable nonsense. We also received complimentary chips and salsa. The only complaint I have is that their drink machine was down. They have some very tasty Mexican drinks for sale, but they are very sweet. At Salsas 4 Taqueria I was very pleased with their service and their very fresh assortment of tacos. I will be back to try more.

They specialize in Colombian food. They have a limited menu on Mondays because most people work from home. There were a couple of bowls. Empanadas. A few other assorted things. I opted for the sliced grilled chorizo sausage served on top of fries with sauces. They call this the Chorizo Colombiano. The chorizo was good. The fries were crispy. They seem like they may been battered, which is not my favorite style of fry, but it was well executed. One of the sauces was vinegar and herb based, and the other was a creamy green. Both pretty good. My experience was generally good. Service was friendly. I'd try them again on a day when they're offering more of their menu. 4 Stars

This was at the local town fair and the wait in line was 35 minutes, and the wait for the food was another 20 minutes. $25 bucks and 55 minutes, I had no idea it would take as long as it did. They forgot the sour cream, and both items were super greasy. Zoom in on the picture and you can see that it's saturated. Not sure if we caught them on a bad night or at a bad time. There isn't much more to say, if you have other options you may want to consider them. I don't like leaving an unfavorable review especially for a local business but they aren't a vendor I would seek out again.

They do catering also which I posted a picture of their website that was on their truck. Take a look.
