    Salsa Criolla (red onion "salad")
    L M.

    Wanted a quick snack while waiting for a friend at Parkville Market, so tried a side of Salsa Criolla (red onion "salad"). I was a little nervous about a salad basically made with just onions and tomato, but that stopped with my first bite -- YUMMMM!! My mouth watered as I smelled the fresh-squeezed lime juice and cilantro. It was served with a slightly zippy jalapeño dressing, which finished it off nicely. A bowl of fresh & crunchy deliciousness!! I totally recommend it and hope to go back soon to try some other dishes. Parkville market is a great place to sample tasty bites from different cultures!!

    If you're having trouble deciding what to get at Parkville Market today, you can never go wrong with Mercado 27 and their Peruvian cuisine. There is some great Peruvian food in the Hartford area period. Mercado 27 is the Peruvian food truck without the food truck. They are always busy yet I never find myself waiting too long for the food. I thought they'd have way more reviews on Yelp because everytime I come here this place is always getting a ton of attention. Sometimes I skip this place because the line is too long but now I realize the wait is well worth it. So far I've gotten the traditional Lomo Saltado twice. Each time it tasted exactly the same and it was absolutely perfect. Consistency with the steak, perfectly cooked vegetables and crispy french fries all tied together with some rice. The meat had the perfect texture to it and it was seasoned beautifully. The onions had the perfect crunch to them preventing the french fries from becoming too soggy as they are all in the same container. Everything just tasted like a heavenly home cooked meal. This meal is filling. So if you planned on trying a bunch of places at Parkville Market be prepared to tap out early or on the bright side, you'll save some money! Service is also very friendly! We always need that in every business of course. So if you are hungry and want some Peruvian, Mercado 27 is your place. I feel like everytime I find myself lost in this cultural melting pot, I find my way to Mercado 27. It's like it was meant to be. Yes, it's that good.

    Where should I have lunch at the Parkville Market? That was Saturday's dilemma. I mean choosing one of 18 options is a tough choice. So, I went for something different, something I have rarely had. That's why I went over to Mercado 27 to check out their Peruvian food. Their food falls into two groups - Saltados (veggies and proteins sautéed in a wok ($10-$12), and Seafood Specialties ($12-$15). I went with Arroz Con Mariscos (a mix of seafood, rice and vegetables). It reminded me a lot of the paella I used to get at Costa Del Sol. It had quite a bit of shrimp, squid, shellfish, and diced vegetables in a wonderfully flavored rice. It was delicious and a pretty darned good value at $12. It was served with a green hot sauce that was absolutely fantastic and really kicked up the old zip factor. I could not have been happier with my choice of vendor and entrée.

    The food here is great, but the experience with online ordering has been disappointingly inconsistent. I've recently been obsessed with the ceviche de pescado at Mercado 27. It is fresh, meaty chunks of Mahi-Mahi with the refreshing tang you look for in ceviche, perfect for summer! It is balanced out by the fresh Peruvian corn and sweet potato which add a sweetness to it. The best part... the filling portion that you can eat as a whole meal. Other favorites are the causa de pollo, which is oh so smooth and creamy, and the lomo saltado is a generous portion given the price (not always the case in the Hartford area) and the steak is always cooked perfectly. As mentioned I've been ordering from them a lot lately, but I've been disappointed with online ordering. In one instance, I placed an order on Doordash and it took the shop an hour and a half to cancel the order because they decided, after accepting the order, to not to fulfill anymore online orders that day. In another instance, I placed an online order on the Parkville Market website and waited the estimated 20 mins. When I arrived they hadn't even started making my food because their machine was not alerting them to new orders. It's frustrating that this happened twice in 3 weeks, especially because these services are used when convenience is imperative to the customer.

    I absolutely loved this spot!!! The service was great! The food was amazing! Perfectly seasoned meat and the rice was great too! Worth the drive and price! Can't wait to go back! 10/10!!!

    I am committed to trying every restaurant at Parkville Market because the food is soooo good. I love all the options there, and when I took my friend there for her first time, we took our time examining all of the menus before landing on Mercado 27. I've never had Peruvian food but I am now a big fan. We ordered the Tallarines Verdes Con Carne (pasta with pesto and sauteed beef) and Trio Marino (Fish Ceviche, Fried Calamari and Seafood Paella) and split both dishes so that we could try it all. Everything was delicious. The beef was tender, the ceviche fresh and spicy, the calamari was well seasoned and the paella was packed with seafood. It was all so good, and I have been dreaming of going back. Not sure how I'm going to hit all of the restaurants at Parkville if I keep going back to sample the menu at Mercado 27, but I will sure try!!!

    This place is inside the Parkville Market food hall. Food was very flavorful. Papa rellena appetizer was my favorite. It was kind of an empanada, stuffed with flavorful beef. The green sauce which came with it was really flavorful, and slightly spicy as well. Chaufa carne was beef fried rice, which was good as well. Lomo saltado was beef, french fries and onion sauteed with a side of white rice. It was also nice and flavorful.

Tapas servings were HUGE and enough for a full meal AND leftovers to take home for lunch. We had a 5 pm reservation and arrived to an empty establishment. Astonishingly it was packed by 6 with guests waiting for a table! We had a perfect table in an alcove; ask for it if you're in a small group. There is also balcony seating that was unused while we were there, maybe that could be semi-private space for a little party too. Great playlist as well. Lived it all!!! Glad we were early to check the place out too to bottom!

We ordered a bunch of food and it didn't take too long to come out, we had multiple rounds of drinks and the pacing on refills was also good. The main problem was the food. Most of the food was ok. I ordered lomo saltado a lo pobre and my husband ordered chupe de camarones. My dish was pretty good. The steak and eggs were over cooked unfortunately but again the meal was fine. My husband's chupe however was really not good. The shrimp was very overcooked, the broth was bland and oily and thin. He ate his egg and left the rest alone. All the dishes were pretty expensive so we asked to have our soup comped but we were told we could not because the waitress asked twice is everything was OK and my husband didn't say anything til the end (although I feel that if someone isn't touching their food it's usually a sign). Feels like a strange rule but i did honestly deduct 1 star because of this. The menu is large and expensive, so it does feel like a gamble if something is that bad but we still cant get 1 in 7 entrees comped. We are a peruvian family (6 adults) and we all felt similarly.

They didn't open, so the girlfriend and I needed to pull an audible. Went to the highest rated location near us, and found this place. First thing, this place is a night club. It's layout, the decor, the wait staff, the music playing, the metal detector in the front, and the dj stand. Everything about this place screams modern night club trying to get through covid. Thing is, this is a place that's making lemonade out of lemons. The staff are extremely friendly, the food service took a while but they kept the bread stocked. The breads this dense but soft inside. Kind of like a soft pretzel without the salt. When the food does come, it's awesome! Everything brought the flavor, nothing was under seasoned and the portions were large. Tacos were stacked with perfectly braised beef with ample toppings which all had a distinct and pronounced flavor. The chiveche was piled high with a limey, salty, savory bite. The fish was fresh, and the fried octopus was perfectly crisp and tender. The crepe was well executed, but it was kind of general. Bananas and Nutella, not much to say. I would've liked the bananas warmer, maybe a little burlee of sugar on the top of each to give it a sweet crisp? It was tasty, I just wanted a little more. Price was a little high, but the food coming out from the kitchen along with the portion makes it worth it. It does take a while, so be prepared for a wait. But now I can say that I had brunch at the night club, and that's a pretty awesome memory. That and the food is good, so if you want a funky place for great peruvian food, go hunt this place down!

We went on a Sunday morning and I ordered the Combinado which is a Peruvian breakfast combo that comes with either a pork or chicken tamale(you get to choose), chicharron which is fried pork, fried slices of sweet potato, and salsa criolla which is a red onion salad that is typically mixed with lime, salt, pepper, cilantro and sometimes Aji Amarillo. My father got the pan con chicharron. Its a fried pork sandwich. Similar to the Combinado and minus the tamale but its between a roll and usually they put some of their salsa verde inside. Everything tasted very fresh and I feel that they try to make each dish taste amazing to make you want to come back and try it again or try new items.

My accompanied guests ordered the Tallarib Verde Con Bistic. The calamari was delicately deep fried in a light almost tempura batter. Absolutely delicious and completely cooked to perfection. Seasoned expertly. The side was yucca fries, which were to die for, again, slightly deep-fried and seasoned to perfection. Also, served were raw red onions, jullianed, with a little bit of tomato in it. Those were OK. The Tallarin Verde Con Bistic was a thin sirloin, cooked to perfection, and seasoned perfectly. The side was what looked like a spinach, pasta, spaghetti like, in a sauce. While I did not try the spaghetti, the sirloin was just beautiful. Taste abound. Located on Franklin Avenue in Hartford just north of the closed Carbones. Dinner for two, with the tip and a drink for one was $55 give or take a little bit. This was tremendous value, and I am now a fan of Peruvian food. Would be a great destination when you want to try something a little different. I will make sure to return here as soon as I possibly can, as the menu offered so many great choices. The menu wasn't big, but it looked powerful. The photo is the calamari dish that I ordered. Absolutely delicious.
