| - This is a good place to go with friends after working downtown. It is loud, affordable and the drinks are good. With the decor and gypsy kings music playing n the background you almost feel like you are on vacation. My boyfriend and I sat at the bar. The bartender was really nice. There are hooks under the bar to put your purse and coat. The service was super fast!! We had plans to go to the movies at 7:40 pm so we arrived at 6 pm with no reservations and left there at 7;10 pm. The dishes are meant to be shared and the bartender recommended to get 4-5. I had the mojito of the day which contained pineapple juice, It was very sweet. I also had a cucumber, rum, vodka, coconut cocktail, which was also very good. We started with the aguacate (slices of avocado, papaya, cucumber, nougat, and mojito dressing). The waitress recommended it and it did not disappoint. The waitress also recommended the fish tacos (tacos de pecscada) which were good but honestly I've had better elsewhere. Inside the taco was battered cod with mango ceviche, ginger and pineapple cream and grilled corn. We also shared the Pina Ribs *four (4 good sized adobo pork ribs with maple pineapple and basil glaze). My boyfriend found it spicy and could only eat one but I didn't find it spicy. The meat fell off the bone easily. We also had the Pollo a la Criola (braised chicken, creole sauce and fried onions with a habanero on top. It reminded me of a spicy chicken stew. If you don't like your food spicy don't order this dish.
