    If you really want to hear about it, MP Markets down in Bradenton, or Manasota Fresh Market,…read morewhatever the hell they call it, isn't one of those phony, sanitized places where everything, all fruitscand vegetables on the shelves looks like it was made out of plastic. ​The market itself is pretty direct in termsbof what they offer. You walk in, and it's stacked high with piles of potatoes, heaps of onions, and wooden bins jammed with apples and peaches. They've got a deli counter running along the side with photos of meals you can order pasted up top and bread cases stuffed with rolls. It's unpretentious, which is rare because most places try so damn hard to look refined, well, perhaps not so much in this part of town, refinement is rare. ​Now, the tacos. They serve them right in those white styrofoam container dealies, which always look cheap, but god, the food is absolutely delicious. ​They don't skimp on the meat, you get double corn tortillas overflowing with seasoned pork, chopped chicken, or carne asada, loaded up with chopped raw onions and enough fresh cilantro to cover a lawn. I absolutely smothered them in salsa verde. They even toss in lime wedges so you can squeeze them over top. It looks messy as hell, but it's real. It doesn't pretend to be fancy, and that's usually the best kind of food there is.

    I would give 0 stars if I could. I live 1/4 miles away and have gotten food there a few times and…read moreit always cost me over $35.00 for 2 people to are light eaters. I am not sure they don't understand English or if they just act like they don't but when you try to tell them a small amount they completely ignore you and fill the box full because they charge by the pound. I finally got the guy to not give me any rice or beans so they have another way to get you. They gave me enough tortillas shells, or whatever you call them , for the whole neighborhood. I don't mind paying for food but i believe they intentionally rip you off. That will be my last trip to that place.
