Variety: 4 stars shops sell a variety of items. I've seen window tinting, baby supplies, jewelry, afro-centric wear, housing services, flooring services, barber shop, beauty shop, tv, eyebrow services, audio shop, cellphone repair, cellphone service, soccer store, dress shop, hat shop, Mercado, and food court to name a few.
Cleanliness: 5 stars....no problems
Atmosphere: 5 stars. Pretty laid back, friendly place
Necessity: 4 stars. For me, I go there and buy a soda or two. I've not tried the food yet, so I look forward to that. I'm wanting them to establish a niche. Something that says......i gotta go there to buy "x". This is a great location, and I want to see it succeed.
Chicaronnes: there are many varieties of these, but I prefer a more meaty chicaronne. The ones in the doravile market are great. These are a little less meat, and very very crisp. I prefer to taste and see the meat. What I had was very very tough.
Gentle suggestion: everyone who comes there is not familiar with items for sale. It would be helpful to have a sign by the bakery in the mercado that describes what's in there. I want to buy stuff, but I don't know what it is, or what it tastes like. Also, maybe have paper to line the trays, I don't want to put mine directly on the tray.
Maybe have to go menus for the food places, so we can see what's for sale and the price. I have a menu for Don Pedro's that I keep with me. I can plan what I'm going to buy, before I get there. Also, don't forget to offer items for vegetarians.
