They just opened their new location! Good was really well seasoned and was really good! The restaurant was really clean! Customer service was amazing! Their salsas for their food are also really good! The restaurant is also combined with a grocery store as well! The store is really nice and has a lot of much needed ingredients for this area!

Absolutely love this addition to the area. Fantastic authentic food. Friendliest people in the area. Mercado has great selection of spices, drinks and raw ingredients.

I recently found out about this gem and have been three times since they’ve opened. They have some of the best fried yuca I have tried in St. Mary’s County, as well as the most delicious tender steak tacos. The horchata is also amazing and not grainy at all. The service is always amazing and the cashiers always greet you with kindness. This place has earned my respect and I will definitely be coming back many more times.

Charcoal chicken is one of my favorites, and I’ve probably tried over 25 different spots through my TDYs and travels. This place hits almost hits all of the marks and will satisfy the craving, just a few things I’ve had much better. First off, the chicken is perfectly cooked. Seasoned well, texture and temperature are amazing. Same can be said about the Fried Yuca (which texture can be hard to get down). Only issues I had are the sauces. The green sauce is very mild, no real spice at all which differs from the majority of places. The yellow is also really sweet which was a bit off putting. Sauces make or break these spots, and while it hits the craving, it’s not something I’d swear others should try. Also bit strange they don’t offer tortillas as a side with the chicken… Service took a w

Got food close to closing and the service was still amazing. The young lady at the register was attentive and had great input on what to get depending on tastes. The cook made sure to take his time with the food to make sure everything came out hot. The food was great and the restaurant was clean and spacious. We have every intention on making this a regular place to grab food from so we can try everything on the menu.
