| - Decided to stop by here with a friend on a whim. I kept seeing groupons for it (which I didn't get), and decided...why the heck not.
Very nice decor, reminded me of some of the places I visited in Florida. Immediately seated, very friendly waitress!
We started with the 1lb of steamed mussels, which were very tasty! The broth was great for dipping the bread in. Pretty great price, honestly.
Then...I we shared a cup of the pumpkin soup, which is seasonal. Holy moly was it good. Creamy, pumpkiny, a little spicy. The more you ate, the more you wanted it. I could easily do a whole bowl of that with some bread and call it a night! The waitress said people would call in August for it...but it's only available now, and it goes quickly. I can see why.
I had to be cliche and have the cuban sandwhich, which was very good. Side of black beans and rice with fries, nothing to complain about!
Friend had the Chicharrones de Pollo (fried chicken). Pretty basic friend chicken dish made with masa rather than traditional friend chicken batter. Interesting flavor, very juicy, quite good.
Washed it down with some negro modelos, and we were good to go.
If I had any con to add, it would be that it was a bit pricey. For most items, if the prices were about 40% cheaper, they would be a better value. But, it is what it is.
