I loved the atmosphere from the minute I walked into this place.
Came on a weekday night around 6pm and the place wasn't too busy. From the minute I walked in, I felt like I was in another country. I was greeted with a warm friendly smile and welcomed into have a seat even though I asked for takeout.
The server advised they made authentic Nicaraguan food and recommended some of their more populare dishes like the carne asada.. I opted for the chicken platter and a mixed ceviche. I then ordered one of their famous mojito's while I waited.
The drink was delicious, not sure what they add in it, but it just didn't taste like a regular mojito so I would definitely recommend this..
When I got home I was surprised at how large the portions were. The chicken was still nice and tender despite having been in the car for over half an hour drive home. The flavours weren't anything special, but it wasn't bad either. The rice and beans were delicious and I really liked how it came w plantain AND a side avocado salad. The salad had this semi spicy vinaigrette which my boyfriend I both liked a lot. All in all I would probably order this plate again as the flavours mixed well together.
The mixed ceviche was pretty good as well, although I would have preferred more pieces of seafood in it (minus 1 star for this).. They were paired well with the plantain chips.
Everything was made to order so expect fresh food and ingredients. I have already recommended this place to my cousins and will opt for sit-in next time so I can try the fish of the day!
