| - Three trips has not disappointed yet.
the interior atmosphere is spot on to a number of places I have been to in Central America. The decor, the service, the atmosphere. I have had very attentive waitresses each time.
The chips and salsas are very nice(ok one humid weekend I thought the chips were a bit stale). One dip is a darker red salsa (smoked chillis?) the second one is my favorite it is green cilantro and avocado dip. It is so good I have purchased some to take home for later (ask the waitress - even comes iwth chips).
The first two times I ordered a whole fried fish ajillo, covered in sauteed garlic, peppers and onions. It was very authentic just as I had eaten many times down south.
The rice and beans are as expected, not fantastic not dry and tasteless like other places. Note - I did not come for rice and beans ;-).
Once my wife ordered the Camarones Culichi Shrimps In A Green Sauce, Tomatill & Cilantro, which was excellent. The waitress recommended it and she was right. The sauce seems to have some cheese mixed/melted in that made it sinfully savory.
Another time I ordered tacos al pastor. OK, I know it is a seafood shop but after the nice ceviche I was ready for some flesh. The tacos were very good. I liked how their al pastor was crispier than some. Maybe a personal preference, but they were good.
Key note for me - they offer a variety of margaritas. I prefer the upcharged one where they mix it themselve, not the premix bottled one. (they sell both) for me it is less sweet and has a cleaner appeal.
I am planning on going back again next week when more family come to visit.
Last note: The neighborhood is not the greatest. I come from a tougher city so it was no big deal to me, but some others might appreciate being warned.
