| - We stopped in here tonight with a restaurants.com coupon (and the low expecations that usually come with that) and we were very pleasantly surprised by a really tasty meal, pleasant atmosphere and great service. It's also an excellent value.
We had the ceviche tigre and pappa rellena to start. Both were artfully presented with much more care than you would expect in a restaurant in this price range. The pappa was perfect: flaky, delicious and not oily in the least. The ceviche tigre was absolutely out of this world, a perfect mix of fish, squid, lime, corn and spices. We would have been very happy with a meal of that alone.
For our mains, we had a lomo saltado and mixed seafood platter. The lomo was exactly right; a slightly salty stir fry of steak, onions and french fries, served with rice. The mixed seafood platter was a gargantuan plate of shellfish on top of a large fish fillet. Both were delicious. The only criticism I could possibly make is that I wasn't crazy about the yucca that accompanied the seafood platter (I'm more of a yucca al mojo guy) but that's a minor detail.
All of that food only came to $50, which is a great deal in my book, particularly with such a large amount of seafood. With a Groupon/Restaurants.com coupon, it's a steal. Our server Paola, was charming and helpful.
Recommended.
