After avoiding Paladar for years because it's a place I associate with my entire high school meeting there for unofficial night before Thanksgiving reunions, I went for lunch last week and was super impressed. Who knew after all of that avoidance I had been missing out. Opps...
I really enjoyed the mojitos. My friends and I sampled a few different kinds and the watermelon basil was my fave. It was slightly sweet and the basil lent a very fresh taste.
Our table started out with the traditional guacamole, which was delicious and simple, however no different than a guac I would make at home. The homemade chip blend was really special and a whole lot more exciting than the guac.
Highlights from my table included the blacked fish tacos (could have used some more spice), hearts of palm salad, and the skirt steak salad. I look forward to heading back for another go at the menu.
