| - I've wanted to try this place for awhile and finally got an opportunity when I made plans for dinner with a girlfriend. It was the middle of summer when we went here, and without air conditioning (only a ceiling fan), it was really hot inside. It was somewhat fun though, because it felt like we were on vacation due to the heat, and the Nicaraguan family running the place. All they needed to do was knock down the walls and make it open air! lol
It was the first time I had Nicaraguan food, and it was delicious. I had the Carne Asada, which was incredibly filling. I had it with yellow plantains (my absolute favourite), rice and salad. We had a pitcher of sangria to share. The prices weren't bad at all for a home cooked meal, especially with the portion size.
The service was a bit slow, considering we were one of two tables in there. But I expect that's probably more of a cultural thing. Island time!
This place is definitely a hole in the wall, but it is one of those mom and pop shop, hole in the wall places that are hidden gems. If I lived closer, I would come here more frequently.
