| - I came on a windy and rainy night and there was a line up outside, but I'm not one to quit, so I made my boyfriend wait outside with the other folks while I sat in my car. I've read really good Yelp reviews and it seems promising, but the dedicated folks on the rain affirmed that this place was in fact worth the wait.
Good: the interior is small and cozy, decorated with large paintings and latin style decor. It's a really small place, so seating can be a bit tight. The menu is extremely affordable, and so we ordered a couple of entrees and dessert. Firstly, the avocado sauces everyone mentions here lives up to the hype. The arepa tastes so darn fresh, and it's also ridiculously filling. I've ordered the feta cheese with grilled vegetables, and loved it for the most party except it had too much cheese (whatever, I've just scraped it off). Even my boyfriend was taken aback by how good the food was. Definitely one of the hidden gems of the Main.
Bad: the dessert wasn't take great, it wasn't bad, but not really worth getting since it just tasted undercooked spongecake and the coconut flan just tasted like vanilla yogurt. Not impressed.
Bottom line: dinner for 2 came out to nearly $30 for an appetizer, 2 mains and 2 desserts. So yeah, I'll definitely be back!
