| - What a great place! I see that other people commented on the strip mall location, but I feel like this particular strip mall is building a reputation for above average food choices. We have become used to strip mall dining, and have been pleasantly surprised time and time again. It always feels like finding a hidden treasure, which is a good description for this place.
Anyway, we came in late and I was nervous that we would be frowned upon for being that guy that comes in shortly before closing. Not so, we were welcomed as if we were the first customer of the night. We ordered 4 items from the tapas menu and all were exceptional. I would post pictures, but my phone died - wah wah.
I will do my best to paint a mental picture.:) First I must say that the food was creative. I had 4 things that I've never had before. The first dish to arrive was the Hennessy Peppers. They were delicious! Lightly tossed in a teriyaki inspired sauce and aren't spicy. Next arrived the Singapore Chili Crab, which reminded me of a hot pot. They are accompanied by bowl shaped, melt in your mouth (literally) wafers. This was my favorite dish and was a lovely blend of flavors and textures. Next, the Botecoquito Sliders. I think I remember the server saying the meat was a mix of beef and bacon, which is never a bad idea. The bread is sourced from the bakery next door, and how they put the sliders together was an artful mix of flavors. I would go on, but this review is too long already.
Long story short, the food embodies creativity, ultra fresh ingredients, skill and care. The service was top notch. We will be back.
