Mercado 27 - Hartford

I never write a bad review but I am really disappointed with Mercado 27, my co-worker and I love the Chicken Chaufa Rice from Vista Alegre (the best) however we decided to give Mercado 27 a try as the picture for this dish looked amazing online. I placemy order first off I asked to pay for the order separate (as we needed two chicken chaufa rice) the gentleman that took my ordersaid it was $12 but with two extra green sauces it would be $13.50 I handed him $20 (did not get back any change)-he thenproceeded to say I will charge you for the other one which will be the same price-I handed him another $20 and he handed me back$10-the place was packed and he was attending to what seemed to be a personal friend. Once I left the store and got to work Irealized that the containers of rice were small not enough to feed a grown man even if he is on a strict diet, the two saucesthat I paid $1.50 for were not even a tablespoon of sauce in the little cups but the WORSE PART is that without my consent hekept $3 as a tip...he felt the need to keep the $3 and refused to give me a receipt! I am a great tipper as I know the strugglein todays world truly DISAPPOINTING-do not eat here! The food is pricey, very small amount, you are NOT charged what it saysonline and they take their own tips without your consent !!!

The first couple of times the order jalea, were amazing in the last year. 1st time order this year I think. when opening my order, the wobbly salad lacked my fav btw, but the worst the fish tasted like cleaning supplies! has tried another piece. then it came in me to smell it. omg! it is a big problem of the clauenseuche! it smells just like a freshly cleaned and sanitary bathroom! no lie lol never again! the crazy thing is that I have heard from restaurants with chemicals to kill the smell of old fishing and hope they don't do that either so well!

I get the fish ceviche nearly every time I go to Parkville market. Today, I was a bit hungrier and happy to see they offered a seafood trio: fish ceviche, calamari, and seafood paella as one entree. Disclaimer: it's a lot of food and probably shareable if you get an appetizer. The ceviche was amazing as always fresh, tangy, and tasty. The calamari was light and crispy, not overly battered like other restaurants. And the paella was also solid with a generous amount of seafood included. Definitely recommend!

Can't say enough about this place, incredibly fresh and authentic. I look forward to every visit. Generous portions and superb flavor in every bite..
