| - Really happy we discovered this restaurant! They do serve alcohol, but not until 5pm on Sundays. My boyfriend settled on the Famosa beer because they were out of the pilsner. He was happy with the substitution.
A different server was sent to our table because she was the best English speaker and she was fairly helpful. There was a slight miscommunication about our order, but I think that was due to her being distracted and not a language barrier.
I was shocked to see "ask about our vegetarian and vegan options" stated right on the menu! Upon asking our server about said items she seemed a bit confused but recommended the platter. It is mostly vegetarian to begin with and we got the small amount of meat that did come on the plate on the side. We also ordered the ceviche platter. The ceviche platter apparently won "Phoenix's top 50 dishes" a couple of years ago. My boyfriend got a side of meat pies.
Food Breakdown:
Ceviche Platter: Absolutely delicious! With avacado, large grilled shrimp and small shrimp, lettuce, tomato, onion, and plenty of citrus juice. Mmmm!
Platter: Fried yucca, 2 papusa (one with meat and cheese and one with just beans), a meat pie and a potato pie, a coleslaw-esque side dish, a tamale, a small serving of pork, fresh plantain chips, and a dessert made of rice flour. Quite good and one of the few veggie friendly items on the menu.
Meat pies: I hear were very good.
Note: they also have fresh fruit juice drinks which they make to order. I ordered the turmeric drink and it was SO GOOD! It had bits of fruit and seeds at the bottom. It was not too sweet and very refreshing :)
