   Overrated. The place itself lacks charm and the tables are arranged too close to one another and in uncomfortable places. Ours was situated in a main traffic route and near an interior exit. The chairs seemed to be taken from a school gym. While there is a unique variety of dishes on the menu, the four we tried were lacking in flavor and not that impressive. The corn beignets were fried hush puppies with corn inside served with a sweet milk gravy. Weird. The barria empanadas were decent. The burger was good but nothing remarkable. The crab and shrimp club was bland and uninspiring. The french fries were greasy and inedible. Overall, not a good experience for the money.

   I have to say I was a little disappointed in my experience here. I had read rave reviews about Food Market and was excited to try it out. I went at around noon, and was given a lunch menu. I ordered the pork street tacos. They were average at best. The meat was poorly flavored and cold. The toppings didn’t have any flavor. The apple slaw I got on the side was nothing special. I normally love street tacos, but I couldn’t even bring myself to finish these lazily thrown together ones. I expected more for a meal totaling over $20.

   Our server was fantastic and very attentive. The food was delicious. We got the birria empanadas, the poached pear salad, the pat lafrieda burger, the duck parts, and a dirt cake on the house for our anniversary. Everything was cooked and prepared to perfection!

   Very long wait times. Hopefully it was just lunch rush? Servers were very kind.

   Excellent Food, especially the the Baltimore Club Sandwich and fries were excellent and hot upon arrival. The waiter was fantastic. Food was on the table within 12-15 minutes from ordering. Great place to eat and great pricing. I tip at least 20% for overall.

   Food was great and the atmosphere was nice, high ceilings made it a bit loud but not crazy. We are already looking to head back.
