| - Latino street party any day of the night, why the heck not?!
Came here for a birthday. You can make reservations quick and easy on their website. When we got there, we wanted to check out the patio to see if we should eat there, but it was super cold so we dined in the main dinner area at the far end of the restaurant instead. The place was packed. It's a very casual atmosphere. Our waitress was very friendly and nice. She recommended that we try the "street party" 3 course meal for $45 per person. We were feeling lazy to order our own stuff and decided to give this a try since it had a bit of everything. This was the chef's pick so everything was a surprise! I did, however asked if we could get ceviche for one of the dishes since this was their signature dish. The waitress said she would look into this, which was great, because we did get a small dish of ceviche each!
First course:
Chips & Guac & Salsa plantain + yucca + taro + corn chips + potato + guacamole + tomato - My second fave dish. loved the gauc and the different chips that it came with.
Atún Japonés ahí tuna + watermelon + radish + ponzu - Nice and light, but not a lot of taste
Bay scallops cocktail - Very nice and light
Second course:
Empanadas - Didn't like this because it was very bready
Beef skewers - This was dry. I would skip this dish
Tortillas with chicken, veggies, and potatoes - Very saucy. It was good, but very greasy. The tortillas wraps were a bit dry, but we toasted it the next day and it tasted good
Fried Chicken Wings guava BBQ sauce - This was awesome! My fave thing!
Short ribs in a variety of sauces - My boyfriend really liked this. It was tender, but I didn't like the sauce
Third course:
A frozen popsicle - Refreshing
Rice pudding - Really liked this!
We also order a pitcher of mo-tio (mojito) and sangria. They were okay. I found it a bit watered down. Nothing really compared to the free margarita that we had as a result of checking in on the yelp app. It was super strong!
We were all super full from the dinner and had to get take away. We ate the food the next day and it tasted good, with the exception of the empanadas. The food is pretty greasy though. I'm not sure if it was worth $45 a person as I think you can order individual dishes and get more variety. However, this was easily two meals because we took a lot of leftovers home. I say get this if you are lazy and want to try a little bit of everything on the menu.
We went back up to the patio after dinner and it was beautiful because it was overlooking the CN tower. It's a small patio, but I'm sure it's a good scene during the summer. We were there last week, but it was still cold.
The service was really good here and I loved the freebie drink. The food wasn't bad, but there's definitely room for improvements. I see a lot of potential with this restaurant!
