Happy Thanksgiving!!!
I love the ambience of this place. It is so relaxing and light. The lights aren't dimmed too much and I loved the service we received today.
There was a prix fix menu today for thanksgiving, but were also giving their lunch menu as well! We ordered the original ceviche, the empanadas and the pico platter to start!
I ordered the Tamarind Guava Colada, and Jacob a cucumber gin and tonic. He enjoyed him but I was disappointment in the lack of tamarind or guava in the colada.
I did like the ceviche but the hominy was starchy and hard to chew. Our favorite of the picos was probably the corn pico, as it was both sweet and had a slight pick! We did wish the platanos were season better.
Jacob really liked the empanadas, but I believe they were baked and I do prefer my empanadas more crunchy.
We were both in agreement that the turkey enchiladas weren't as good as we were hoping. They did state that it came with a pumpkin mole which we didn't think tasted like a mole and more of a verde sauce. Although the turkey was very moist, we weren't fond of the pomegranate pico and we felt like it was flavorless.
We finished the afternoon with the Tres Leches, which I thought was super sweet. It was topped with a merengue and had condensed milk on the bottom of the plate as well as what was in the cake as well. I wished the fruit pico was more prominent.
We do wish there was more of a wow factor from this place. I would have given this place 3.5 stars if I was able.
