| - 6 of us came out here tonight, a Monday night for happy hour, and we were happy. We sat out on the patio to enjoy the nice night and because they only allowed happy hour specials at the bar/patio. However, we would rather sit out there because it was just too dark in the dining area.
These are the tapas we ordered:
-Mac and cheese with the habenero: We all liked this very much that we doubled the initial quantity. The habenero gave this tapa a lil kick and was a wonderful compliment.
-Beef empanadas-this was everyone's favorite. Was light and fluffy with ground beef and other spices in the middle...yum
-Chicken empanada-not as good as the beef empanadas, but is aight.
-Spicy tuna ceviche-one of us doesn't eat sushi/sashimi, but she thought this was delicious. I honestly thought it was a bit too fishy while everyone else liked it.
-Hamachi tiradito-the citrus brought out the flavor of this fish. Was light and refreshing. Was one of everyone's favorite.
-Cuban Sliders-ham on top of pork, was kinda boring to me. I like cuban sandwiches when there is a dipping sauce. This one doesn't come with a dipping sauce.
-Crispy Shrimp-one said that this reminds her of honey walnut shrimp, I didn't care too much for it. The shrimps were tiny.
-Beef taco-Better than the fish, not as good as the chicken taco. The portion seem to be tiny for the amount of pickled cabbage given.
-Chicken taco-Taste the best out of the three kinds of taco. The pickled purple cabbage and a slice of jalapeno tasted very good with this chicken taco.
-Fish taco-least favorite...the fish was BORING. Didn't taste like much.
-Churros-Everyone loved this desert. It was so soft and fluffy, with a nice vanilla sauce (I think) drizzled on top of it. Not a typical churro that one would get at El Pollo Loco, which I like too btw.
Sopapillas-Eh. Whatevers. A rectangular baked dough on a dish of honey and powdered sugar.
Sugarcane sangria-This was GOOD. Even for non-drinkers as myself. Was very fruity with fruit pulp.
Blackberry mojito-Was on the tart side. No one liked this pitcher very much...
So, happy hour is definitely the time to go to try out many different tapas and drink the sugarcane sangria. I will come back!
