    We ate here three times during our stay and everything we ate was delicious from top to bottom. Service was beyond excellent every single time! Over our stay we had shrimp and empanadas, Wagyu steak and pork belly, crab fritters and chicken and plantains. And the pizzas were the best I have ever had, anywhere. The drinks were crisp fresh and fabulous. Every time we stopped into Cocina de Mercado, it was a delight
