| - Spoiler alert: I'm obsessed with La Taguara's food now!
We stopped in after hearing a lot of excellent things about La Taguara. First off, I was a little put off by the higher prices for items when you order at a counter and bus your own table. However, after experiencing the food here, I think it's worth every penny. This food is absolutely delicious!
The woman who took our order was very friendly, and willing to give us recommendations or answer any questions since it was our first time here. We tried the tostones (fried plantains), the mojito en coco (a tilapia coconut curry dish served with plantains, rice, and pico), and the camarones al ajillo (garlic shrimp with plantains, rice, and pico). Everything came with this delicious avocado-based sauce, guasacaca, which I couldn't get enough of. The pico was super fresh, the plantains were perfectly seasoned, and both the fish curry and shrimp were super tasty. I couldn't get enough of it, but with the large portions and appetizer, we both had enough leftover for a big meal the following day.
I LOVE this place and now I want to try everything on the menu. Madison has an abundance of Central American restaurants to try, so it was really cool to try something from Venezuela. We also appreciated that the menu had some seafood and vegetarian dishes (or probably some that could be modified to be vegetarian pretty easily) to choose from as well.
