Pollo Arepa Con Pollo
Kelly Y.

Some of the loveliest vendors at Southern Market. This couple is passionate about the product that they are putting out into the foodiverse. They drew me in while I was perusing the menu with a tasting of the best tasting crispy broken rice that I've ever had. I'm not kidding, this rice is crave able and will draw me back to the Market every time. The stand is tucked into the back corner and definitely worth a visit. The chicken arepa was huge, but probably my least favorite dish thus far. The empanadas are fresh, hot and delicious. The wait for food can be a little lengthy but I think it's probably because they are so busy trying to put out quality food. The portions are humongous so be prepared and be hungry. Order at the counter and get a little beeper to take away while you wait for your food. Grab a drink at the 888 bar and then remember to savor that rice, it's that good!

Maryann Arepa

3.5/4 I was drawn to this station because it's Columbian and Laos fusion which I've never seen before. I think I picked the wrong item to try. I got the Maryann arepa which is a corn meal patty with veggies and peanut sauce. It was good but I wasn't blown away by any means and I felt it was kind of expensive for the size. I saw the portions for the other dishes which were a lot bigger and around the same price so that made me feel like it wasn't worth it especially since it's a vegetarian dish. I also got the Manzana beverage, which is an apple flavor soda, it wasn't too sweet for a soda and was crisp. Overall, I'm a little disappointed since I don't go to Lancaster often and was hoping for a great meal, but I think I was unlucky and picked a lackluster item.

Salchipapas with brisket

My husband and I stopped by the Southern Market for lunch and decided to eat here. I got an order of the salchipapas with brisket. I received a generous portion with my order. The brisket was delicious! My meal was very good. The picante they offered was very spicy.

I enjoyed this small shop inside the southern market. I ordered the Tacos with chicken, rice, lettuce, & chicken. The food was outstanding and id rate it a 8 out of 10. They are generous with the sauce, my only complaint is they could use more chicken but it was tasty. the service they provided was amazing. They also let me try their rice before purchasing. I'd recommend stopping by the market and trying out this small stand.

Fried Rice

The second station we visited at Southern Lancaster food Hall. Laos/Columbian fusion drew us in-first time experiencing this one. Although a handful of offerings, they have a nice variety-from Arepas to Tacos and Hot Dog to name a few. The Gordo Hot Dog was more on the Columbian side. What makes this Hot dog special is the amount of toppings covering the Frank-Cole Slaw, crunchy onions, Mayo, Ketchup and Quail Egg. Nice appetizer that we shared and ingredients played well together. We also tried the Assazzin Sandwich. Grilled/seasoned chicken with hot sauce that gives it a nice kick. Similar to the Hot Dog had the Cole Slaw topping. One portion of hot sauce was slightly spicy and would go for two next time. Paired with a side of Fried Ride which was tasty. Service was friendly and checked in for food taste feedback. We were served by the Chef which was a nice touch. Unique flavor combos and fusion. Will be back to try other offerings.

Desiree's Plate (brisket)

Great service, fresh and absolutely delicious food! The broken rice has a great texture, the veggies perfectly steamed, the brisket was so tasty, and the spicy peanut sauce was fabulous - not too sweet like some people create. It was a very busy, First Friday at Southern Market, but the food was worth a short wait. There was a DJ playing that was a little loud but good music, and entertaining. The only seat we could find was a corner spot at Bar 1888.- perfect!Decent drinks & good service there too. We'll be back for more food.

My family and I drive to Lancaster for a day trip, we stopped here at Southern Market! Such a cute food hall place. Definitely had to try here because I am Laotian, hands down food was definitely DELICIOUS! I had the Nam Khao it's basically Lao rice salad and it had a kick of Colombian to it! It was AMAZING I ate the whole thing and their Jeow was on fire! My husband had their Gordo Hotdog he loved it! The owners super nice, would love to come here again when we're around!

We visited the stand inside Southern Market. We were doing our rounds to see what we wanted to eat, and the owner gave us a sample of the fried rice (Nam Khao). It was so delicious, and she was so nice, we both ended up getting our meals there, and we were not disappointed. I got the Nam Khao which came with chicken, cole slaw, and a salad. He got the tacos. 10/10 can't wait to go back. Definitely try the Nam Khao: it's Thai fusion with a nice coconut crunch.

Brisket Tacos
Christopher H.

Mekatos is my number one stop at southern markets. I go there every time I'm in the area. They have brisket tacos that are out of this world. The service is always super fast and they are a wonderful crew. They are in southern markets so the ambiance is always nice. They way that fuse foods together is something this is magical. I will continue eating at Makatos!!

Fried shrimp, nam khao and peanut sauce over veggies. I think it's called the desiree. YUM.

We have been hoping to make it back to this restaurant since we only get to Lancaster every few…read moreyears this was a must return visit. We recently learned that they are also in the Lancaster farmers market downtown, but I suspect the food has a different experience. Reservations are recommended primarily due to limited indoor seating. Food and good flavor and did not disappoint. The menu changes every month or so, so don't get too attached to one entree.

I have to ask... a Trini restaurant in Lancaster?! Of course I had to see if it was actually worth…read moreit, especially as a doubles lover. WELL WELL... it exceeded every single expectation. The doubles? Exceptional. Soft, perfectly filled, and full of flavor. And the hot pepper sauce? Whew. It didn't just add heat, it elevated an already outstanding dish to another level. I ordered so many doubles I barely had room for anything else but I had to try the dhal and it was exactly what I needed. Comforting, rich, and done right. Everything tasted like true, authentic Trini food, the kind that makes you feel warm, satisfied, and already thinking about your next visit. I was literally craving it every single day for the rest of my Lancaster trip. The space itself is on the smaller side, but really cute and inviting. The service was great: friendly, welcoming, and made the whole experience complete. Whether you're new to Trini food or already know what's up, Calaloo will not disappoint. Trust me, you'll be planning your next visit before you even leave.

I can't remember the last time I was so happy with a meal. My friends and I called at 5pm and…read moreluckily we were able to snag a last minute table. It's a small space- very intimate and romantic. The staff was lovely throughout the entire evening. We ordered the duck pate, octopus, and croquettes to start. I can't remember the names of all the entrees but it hardly matters because everything was delicious. Whoever thinks french food can be boring needs to come here. It's BYO which is always a plus and it was surprisingly affordable, especially considering the quality of the food. I'd go back to Lancaster just to eat here again.

The server was very friendly and kind, providing a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Although she did…read morecheck-in with us regarding our appetizer, she was too preoccupied to check-in regarding our entree, due to her being the only staff in the dining area catering to 4 different tables; understandable but didn't leave us the opportunity to address our issues with the entree (which will be highlighted below) until we paid for our bill and came across someone else by happenstance. The aesthetics were elegant and on the dimmer side, especially if you're seating at the corner tables away from the light, we recommend sitting closer to the light or by the entrance if there's still light out. We really loved the crab croquettes appetizer, which had a perfectly crispy exterior that complimented perfectly with the moist interior mixture of potato and crab that paired very well with the aioli. The crispy potato that accompanied the NY strip was perfectly balanced as well, with the crispiest exterior that I ever had with a potato dish! Unfortunately that was the highlight to the entire dish, for the strip was extremely lean without any fat or marbling to help balance out the leanness of the steak (which is evident in the attached photos below). Usually a NY strip, even if grass fed, would still have a strip of fat on the outer layer, but ours did not have any at all, which you can see from all slices we've made. We weren't hoping for ribeye-quality fats at all, but just one that wasn't completely lean. The creamed spinach was also quite bitter and watery, which definitely diluted its creaminess unfortunately; you can see from the photo the wateriness in the creamed spinach where the cream began separating. We love their menu and the restaurant's elegant vibe, as well as how beautifully the food was presented, but unfortunately we were left disappointed by our main entree. I highly recommend their crab croquettes so please give that a try if you can, I promise you won't regret it! Thank you for reading and best of luck! (:

I have been wanting to try this place. This place is owned by a friend of a friend. He had been…read moreraving about this place for ... Probably 8-9 years now. Maybe more, I just can't remember when he worked while in Lancaster. It's been too long. Every time I had tried to come check this place out, they were closed. Do, definitely check out their hours before coming here. I just so happened to be in Lancaster during the week and swung by. The place is nondescript and kind of a hidden spot. It's quite reminiscent of an old pub when walking in. It's quiet. But it's a good spot to have lunch with a coworker. This is what I saw when I got here - a bunch of people eating lunch with their coworkers. I grabbed a salad and asked for all the veggies and the chili garlic sauce. It was delicious! I wasn't planning on eating lunch that day, but I didn't want to lose another chance of trying this place. I finished the salad. The sauce had a bit of horseradish or wasabi in it. There was a kick to it. It was a nice surprise. I had to eat quickly because it was about to downpour. I asked for a lid and they offered a bag for me, but I didn't take it. I just needed to run to my car quick. There is a parking garage two blocks north infront of the Hamilton Watch store. It's $2 to park for an hour. Would I come back again? Yes, I would. I would want to try their other options too. That sauce got me hooked.

This was in a super walkable area so it was a plus that we could walk there…read more It is a small place that is nothing fancy. But the food does not disappoint!! The sushi was fantastic. I would highly recommend the Osaka roll but keep in mind it does have peanuts in it. Also loved the Fire Ice Roll.. it was warm and had yummy cream cheese in it. The people with me really liked the TNT Roll.. it was deep fried and very crunchy and all the flavors came together to make it a great mouthful. The sweet and sour chicken was served up warm and deconstructed which we liked because you can put the sauce on as heavy as you want. They gave us a generous portion size. I would definitely return if I was in town again.

Stopped in over a convention weekend wanting to support local business and avoid delivery services…read more We typically avoid Chinese/Japanese places during cons as they tend to get packed and take forever to get food just on the sheer volume of attendees all wanting Asian Cuisine. I couldn't fight the sushi craving though so we relented and stopped in on the recommendation of a friend who's a regular here on con weekend. I had a basic combo of California roll, Salmon roll, and tuna roll with salad and husband had a Philly Roll and Eel Roll. Another home run! Sushi was fresh and delicious. Prepared in a good amount of time. We called an order in and in less than 30 min we had our food. Impressive again since this is a pretty popular stop during the weekend.
