| - Oh my! The first time we tried to visit this place, we were turned off by the long line of people waiting to order and the loud music. We wanted to eat, not dance! Lol. We tried again, after a friend told us how great the food was. We were not disappointed! The chicken was delicious, the side orders too and portions were generous. We enjoyed the "yucas" (fried cassava). Never had them so soft before; the Canary beans are somewhat different (they were a little spicy), the maduros were overdone but sweet.
The best part is the self-served bar with 3 different sauces. The green one (a mix of coriander, black mint and lemon with a kick), the traditional yellow sauce a tad spicier (made with yellow hot peppers, we detected cummin too) and the hottest, a pink sauce, the hottest of the three (made from red hot peppers).
For desser we tried the "alfajores"; they were the best we've ever had. Ethereal; not cheap, they call them shortbread cookies, highly recommend. The best deal was the whole chicken with 3 sides (upgrade for a few dollars if you want all-white chicken); it is a good deal.
We like Inca Kola, a peruvian soda, but it is an acquired taste. Some say it tastes like bubble gum!
Enjoy!
