Alma is a bit on the upscale side of casual - I wasn't the only one wearing a t-shirt, but I'll probably wear a button down next time. We happened to come during restaurant week, so the menu was a little different from usual. The fried plantains came with some semi-spicy refrained beans which made for a delicious (and new to me combination). The empanadas were also good, although a little on the dry side. I'd recommend the scallops, but was only meh about the pork belly and gazpacho. Overall, the food quality was good, and I liked about 75% of the items we sampled. I'd definitely come here again.
