I'm glad I tried my wife's dish because I wasn't having a great introduction to this restaurant and it was somewhere down in 1.5 to 2* territory. It's easy to get carried away in a sea of red stars sometimes but maybe 2 mojitos or more carry the reviews skyward? :)
Actually the drink/ appetizer part was really nice Mojitos, chorizo and maduros. Appetizers aren't gargantuan,usually a good thing,and are good value. I could see us coming back for just these. The mojito was not as good as those made by a co-worker who'd attended the classes they run here, weird;) but still pretty serviceable.
The Rabo Encendido ( oxtail stew) I ordered could have come from England it was that bland the shopping list of spices that most recipes have in common for this had taken Labour day off. really it was boiled meat on white rice with nothing other than the maduros providing the taste. I borrowed some of the sauce from the other dish to finish it as well as the amazingly tasteful black beans that accompanied her dish so it's not like they can't cook, just not consistently. 2.5 rounded up to 3.
