| - Plaza Midwood's new kid on the block is delicious! I stopped in the day after they opened in the middle of the afternoon. They weren't crowded so service was super attentive and quick. Everyone was ready to explain the menu, offer suggestions on what to order, ask if I needed anything at all, etc.
The interior is gorgeous. If you ever frequented the previous tenant, John's Country Kitchen, you won't believe this is the same space. They've somehow added an open loft space, beautiful exposed bricks, and dark wood paneling to a spot that was pretty old and well, well worn. It is literally a brand new place.
I had the stuffed avocado with pulled chicken and a side of green beans. While the avocados were good (more about them in a minute) the green beans were the star, hands down! They are crunchy and garlicky. Sooooo tasty! I could eat them by the bucket full. The avocados were also good. The avocados themselves were perfectly ripe and soft. (I hate it when you get an avocado that's still kinda hard because it's not ready yet.) They are stuffed with quinoa, pinto beans, and queso fresco and topped with a red, creamy sauce. They didn't have quite the kick I was looking for, so I went back to the counter for their salsa verde. That did the trick!
My only piece of feedback/room for improvement... I wish they had the sauces out for self service like the other Peruvian chicken place in town that I shall leave unnamed. I would have liked a little bit more salsa verde (it's killer!!) for my avocados but didn't want to look like a total fat kid by asking for more after I already downed one container's worth.
