Went here for dinner twice. The restaurant has a great atmosphere, the courtyard is beautiful and staff are friendly. Mercado Municipal identifies itself as a restaurant that uses high quality local products. They have three different barbecues, each used for a specific purpose. Needless to say, I was excited to try their dishes. Unfortunately, both visits were disappointing. The barbecued lamb (a typical local dish) was dry and after being given the dessert menu, they did not follow up to take my order. The risotto I ordered on my next visit tasted like tomato sauce and was watery, extremely salty and contained vegetables that were not washed properly and therefore had sand on them. On top of that, the still water tasted of chlorine. The waiter did respond professionally to my complaints by offering to replace the risotto with a different dish. On these two occasions my friend ordered a pork and chicken dish, which he did find tasty and well-prepared.
