Oh, Republica I desperately wanted to love you... We came in on Saturday night about 7:45. The restaurant was about 25% full but it took 15 mins to seat us. We ordered the papas fritas, and were saddened to get limp fries. We both ordered platters and the food was good, but don't think we will be back. Highlights included the green sauce on the table (jalapeño, cilantro salsa) and the jalapeño popper empanada. The Cubano gets an honera me mention.
