The five star rating is based upon it exceeding expectations. If you're looking for fine dining, this is not the place and I'm not rating it as a fine dining establishment. Now that we've laid out the benchmark, this review covers two dishes: the deep fried pigs ears and the perlou. Both were on the saltier side but I didn't let it knock down my love for this place. Fellow yelpers were knocking the pig ears so I almost didn't try it and you know what, if I didn't, that would have been a HUGE mistake. It was fabulous! Perfect combo of chewiness and crispy. It basically melted in my mouth. Biased - maybe a little. Who doesn't LOVE Cheetos?! Perlou was exploding with flavor. It was like a paella, crispy rice, and jambalaya had a threesome. ;) Need I say more?! I'll be back and this time I'm getting an order of the pig ears (without sharing)!
