Based on the reviews, El Mercat Bar de Tapas in Rockville is a favorite spot known for its delicious Spanish food and great hospitality. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and very accommodating, even for large parties or guests with shellfish allergies. The service is prompt, courteous, and attentive, with thoughtful gestures like complimentary desserts and a birthday churro with a sparkler. The many dishes ordered are uniformly delicious, with specific meals like the paella being more than worth the 40-minute wait, especially when sipping a seasonal sangria. Other standout dishes include the Patatas Bravas, Gambas al Ajillo, Solomillo de Buey, and Calamari. The happy hour offers surprisingly good prices for tapas, making it affordable to try a wide variety. The atmosphere hits the right balance between energetic and intimate, perfect for a date night. While the price is a tad bit high, it is considered worth it for the high-quality cuisine. The restaurant is described as a true gem, with food comparable to the basque region of Spain.
