| - Came here after watching a show, and the fact that dela hoya came here was a little inspiring too. The ambiance is pretty nice, very red, nice tables, fountain inside - very modern and slick. Once again, the hostess was nice, but the waiter was a robot. No personality, just got the job done.
I ordered the cochinita (i think it's called). It's basically a huge chunk of pork on the bone, cooked in banana leaves. it was really tasty and fall off the bone tender. But obviously, this was a guy kinda dish, since there was barely anything else on the plate. A few grains of rice, and a veggie or 2 - that's it! it was basically just a big chunk of meat.
Hubs ordered the pork tacos, which just looked way better than what I got. it came with all the fixin's and tortillas on the side. I'll admit, I was jealous! And of course I helped him eat some of it. =) The pork he got was super bland, though. Maybe cause he got more sides to make up for the lack of flavor...?
Overall, after being wow'ed by the pretty decor, I wasn't too impressed with the food. They served chips with salsa and flavored salt - which I kept eating all night. The green/lime salt was my favorite. I don't know if we'd come back - there are so many other restaurants just across the walkway that I'd rather try.
