| - Came here for the first time while I was in the area for some work recently. It was around noon when I had stopped by and it wasn't that busy. The restaurant is a small little place but super friendly staff.
I had completely come here on a whim and didn't really look into what I should order. After a brief skim and looking at pictures, I had determined something green and something meat is good. LOL apparently, I had written a note on Yelp (that doesn't show on mobile) stating "To Try: Pollo and Aji Verde". Oops?
In the end, I ended up ordering the "Tallarin Verde Con Bisteck". This is a fresh pesto linguine w/ steak and a half of a potato. Why I didn't end up ordering something chicken, I don't know. I think the pesto linguine sounded so good, that it trumped over any other order. XD Wonder if there's a pesto linguine with rotisserie chicken ?? They have whole chicken in a rotisserie oven but for some odd reason, just didn't feel like getting it. xD
I wanted to eat this in the car as I drove home, but I didn't get any utensils. And unfortunately, couldn't find any in the car either. Had to wait until I completed my journey home before I had a fork. Almost contemplated eating with toothpicks but wasn't THAT desperate
So back to the "Tallarin Verde Con Bisteck". A good portion of the pesto linguine. I can't judge on the cook of the pasta because I had to wait so long but the flavor was good. It was like a normal pesto linguine pasta. The steak was a thin cut flank I believe. Nicely cooked and really tender. Knife not needed. I was asked what kind of sauce I wanted, either mild or hot. Of course, I would go for the hot. It was a spicy green sauce. The taste reminded me of this cilantro garlic sauce I make at home but with a spicy kick. It was pretty yummy to match with the steak.
Overall, not a bad place. Need to prepare more next time on what to order. XD
