| - I found Deseo on Yelp, and was not disappointed with my experience there.
Making reservations was easy through Open Table and we were able to get a table for two on a Friday easily. We were seated promptly (I hate having to wait when I have a reservation) at a nice table.
I had a delicious mojito and my husband Dave had a glass of Torrontes white wine. The mojito was perfectly minty and limey, not merely a hint of either taste, but bursting with the flavors that make a mojito.
For an appetizer we had a trio of ceviches: the ahi, lobster escabeche, and Ecuadorian shrimp. All three were different, distinct creations and were really good--we liked the ahi one the best. The ceviches were not served with chips as we are accustomed, but with popcorn as a palate cleanser. Their bread and butter were very tasty as well.
I ordered the Cuban enchilado shrimp, Dave had the dorado ajillo. We also had the brie potato mash. I really enjoyed my food. It was spiced beautifully and was very filling. I didn't really enjoy the brie potato mash, though it's more because I don't really love brie cheese. Dave enjoyed his meal, though less than I did. I tried it--it wasn't as flavorful by far compared to my meal. For dessert we tried the torrejas heladas which was fine but I like chocolate desserts more.
Overall, a great dining experience with really good food and fabulous, attentive service. If we lived in the area, we'd go back just to try more of the ceviches.
