Great bonus with this area is the inside areas of the Mercado, which features a food market and lovely little bar called Barrio. Outside, wide choice of Latin American food - which can be eaten indoors.

Sketchy location between two used car dealerships but very authentic, with lots of Vietnamese people always eating there. Not great for vegetarians, as they use a lot of unidentifiable meat ingredients such as pig's blood, pork knuckle etc and don't have tofu. Free tea and nice staff; open 9am-9pm, closed Weds.
