    Our second visit and second review in a month. Visited on a Saturday night. A little noisy, there was lovely live music for part of the visit. We had guacamole which was bland, a baked ribeye empanada which was nicely flavored and spiced. Cervice misto (mixed seafood salad) was bursting with shrimp and octopus, very tasty. Quesivanas (chicken quesadilla)was very tasty too. Grilled ribeye with corn and potato could not have been better. Overall a fine dining experience.

    We had a table for five plus a baby for lunch. Interesting and flavorful menu. Pulled duck tostados were excellent. One friend said the chicken sandwich was the best meal she had over the Christmas/Hanukah holiday. Kitchen made an easy substitution for a food allergy. Only slight gripe was that it was chilly sitting at the front table in the window. Will definitely be back!
