    A place that knows it value, the Mercado at Tia Carmen is a more than solid choice for breakfast. Its buffet style breakfast, has a not to large not to small selection of hot and cold offerings. Nothing is subpar, and many selections (like the beef, rice and yogurt) are exceptional. Only bake goods are uneven in taste. Coffee is top notch. Jams, meats, fruit and great. Omelette station available too. Service is attentive and not bothersome. Expensive but worth it.
