“Sooooo amazing! Everything tasted so fresh. Love it!“

“I can't say what I like best, because it is all delicious. I usually get the enchiladas huertenas because I can't decide if the mole, red sauce, or green sauce is better; they are all equally wonderful. So are their tender, flavorful tamales. even their chips & salsa are a cut above. Pickup during the pandemic is fast and painless, which we appreciate.“

“Nice place! Very authentic Mexican both in ambiance and the food. We had chicken quesadillas and carne asada tacos - they were perfect. Great taste, hot and plentiful. The server was very friendly and attentive to us the whole time. We were traveling through and found them on Yelp. Excellent choice!“

“The only Mexican restaurant I like in CT, and I've tried a few. They serve authentic, delicious Mexican food.“

“My current top hidden gem for amazing and authentic Mexican food. Hidden in La plaza del Mercado, this spot has the most amazing tripe soup, where the tripe was properly cleaned, no funky taste/smell, cooked perfectly tender. Great caldo de res as well, the meat was tender and had a strong beef flavor, soup was light and refreshing and the veggies provided a nice natural sweetness and the squash was incredible inside. Their tacos are great as well and their pricing is a bargain and their portions are quite good.“

“I highly recommend this place!! Staff is great & the food is beyond amazing.“

“I lived in the Bay Area for 20 years and have had many burritos. Theirs hands down was the best. So good I had to buy a burrito bowl for the next day“

“Today's lunch- shrimp taco and the dragon fruit/mango for a drink. Everything was super fresh, quick and delicious. Already thinking about what I'll get next week. Best of luck!“

“We were in Hartford for the weekend, and were hungry for lunch as we were heading out of town. We looked for something interesting on yelp, and found the Mercado. We went in, and went to the last counter down the line, as they had these amazing Columbian Tamales. I had never seen such big and round tamales. They are to die for. Perfectly cooked, well spiced, and just simply delicious. Went very well with the fried plantains. Very much enjoyed.“
