I got the passionfruit shake with water instead of milk so it was very light and refreshing. The serving size for the Carne Asada was huge. The meat was tender, and the rice was perfectly cooked. I had enough for lunch after. The service is always great and really friendly!

Two months ago, my wife and I traveled to Hartford, CT, for a Post Malone concert. Before the…read moreevent, we stopped by the Parkville Market, a bustling food hall featuring incredible ethnic food from numerous countries. Picking a place to eat was a challenge with so many delicious options, but after exploring, I decided on Mercado 27, a Peruvian restaurant offering a taste of authentic Peruvian cuisine. Mercado 27 draws inspiration from the rich culinary traditions of Peru, showcasing classic dishes that highlight bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and deep cultural roots. The restaurant's name, "Mercado," nods to Peru's vibrant marketplaces, which are central to its food culture, and "27" reflects its position as one of the standout vendors in the food hall. I ordered the Pollo Saltado. A savory dish featuring sautéed chicken, onions, and tomatoes, served with crispy fries and fluffy white rice. The meal, priced at $17.00, was hearty and flavorful, offering a perfect balance of textures and spices. To complement the main dish, I added two sides: Sweet Plantains ($5.00) and Fried Yuca ($6.00), both prepared to perfection. The plantains were caramelized and sweet, while the yuca was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, delivering a satisfying crunch. For my drink, I chose a 16oz Chicha Morada ($5.00), a traditional Peruvian beverage with a deep purple hue. Made from dried purple corn, fruits, and spices, this natural juice was refreshing and subtly sweet, a perfect accompaniment to the meal. Chicha Morada's unique flavor transported me to the Andean regions of Peru, where the drink originated. The ambiance at Mercado 27 was inviting and vibrant, fitting for its location within the lively Parkville Market. The space was filled with energy from fellow diners enjoying a diverse range of cuisines. The décor was simple yet modern, allowing the food to take center stage. The service was excellent, with our server, Alejandra, providing attentive and friendly care throughout our visit. She patiently explained the menu items and even recommended the sides and drink that I thoroughly enjoyed. Overall, Mercado 27 delivered an exceptional dining experience that added to the excitement of our trip. The combination of authentic flavors, warm service, and the lively atmosphere made it a memorable stop before heading to the concert.

I'm updating my review to reflect my recent experience. I ordered the Seafood Trio Combo Dinner,…read morewhich consisted of Peruvian Style Paella, a white fish ceviche and fried calamari, all served with condiment world superstar "aji" (aka the " Light Green Sauce"). The paella was like a saucy hybrid of seafood risotto and paella. Tender shrimp and calamari bathing in the creamy red sauce were highlights. A standout dish that I'm glad I tried. The ceviche was good acidic and had the right texture and heat pops. The calamari was crispy and well salted. And the aji -- herby, garlicky goodness. The one miss food-wise was that the calamari was made before the paella so that it wasn't warm when I received it. I'm not factoring this into my score since the food service industry is short-staffed, but it took about 15 minutes longer than the time I was given. At least with the paella though, I got it when it was practically right out of the pan and it was fantastic. Four Stars

We were a party of 5, and the waitress advised us that there was a long wait , because of staffing issues . We all agreed that it was worth it to wait , and I'm glad we did ! We ordered their empanadas . We ordered Carne (beef) empanadas and some cheese empanadas, and they were excellent! Filled generously as well. The shell of the empanadas is made from corn meal not flour/dough. And Fried to perfection. We ordered a soup that had shrimp and was in a dark red broth ... it was so extremely delicious. We ordered steak as well , and thinly sliced and seasoned well. I would give it a five star rating but the service is lacking hospitality. Not that they're rude, but not overly friendly.
