Son-of-a-viche! What a disappointment!
As soon as my friends and I walked in, I knew this place was for me. Not fancy in any want, lots of accolades on the wall and it had that great ma-pa shop feel.
I, too, had the ceviche and felt pretty let-down by it. I've certainly had worse, but when everyone raves, you have to try it out. Not enough citrus zing, the shrimp seemed a little dry and I was hoping for a little kick.
Following that, I followed suit and had the carne asada. For such a simple dish, I was happily surprised. The beef was cooked perfectly, chock-full of flavour and even tastier with the spicy side of onion and peppers.
Like Lauren M mentioned, the plantains chips totally kicked. Big on flavour, small on oil and the sides were massive.
So, despite the slow start with the ceviche, things really picked up with the main and the rest of the menu looked solid as well, so I'll definitely be back.
