| - PIO PIO! Fun to say.
Ok I'll get this straight from the start: If you go here and you are vegetarian, don't expect a smorgasbord of options. Expect exactly 0 options, unless you modify something. They have 1 thing on the menu you can easily order (the #2) and you have to change out the chicken soup for salad. Or you can order all sides, but they are each about $4 so it adds up quick for a few veggies.
That said: My salad was delicious and thoughtful, with a nice home made creamy dressing and everything chopped and lovely, not a cheap iceburg lettuce salad a lot of places throw your way. (side note: it was stuffed into a small bowl overflowing, which is fine, but that always gives me anxiety because you have to be careful not to look like a pig spilling salad out of a tiny bowl onto your table, and I'm a pig who spills things all the time so this is a touch-n-go mix for me, give me a big plate!).
The plantains were DELICIOUS. Holy bejesus. Fried to a light crisp and so fresh and sweet! I actually had MORE plantains than I could eat. I didn't think that was possible.
Beyond that they served me a fresh avocado half, and some tasty rice. The rice was a bit plain but they had a spicy buttery sauce that I mixed in and it jacked it up nicely. It was a very healthy lunch and well prepared.
A bit pricy for lunch, since I forked up $11 after tip, but ok on occasion to do that.
