点评:Bright colors and fresh flavors sing, but slow service and food consistency leave some things to be desired.
Positives: plantain chips are a MUST. Delicious tomatillo-based dipping sauce pairs perfectly with the crispy Caribbean fried fruit. Vibe in the restaurant is warm and inviting, and our server was fun and flirtatious (without crossing any lines).
Negatives: food didn’t arrive until an hour after reservation began. They ran out of bistec (marinated ribeye) but didn’t inform us until 30 minutes after we submitted our order — these things happen, but it was frustrating to re-order so long after we initially spoke with the waiter.
What to order?: Pass on the arepa (disappointingly dry). Instead, order the GORGEOUS fried chicken sandwich (“Cemita Poblana”) — the sandwich was larger than my outstretched hand and included a mountain of fries. We almost could have shared one between two people — generous portioning in this dish was awesome, though it was missing in the arepa and empanada dishes.
We’ll come back again for the great flavors, but not on a night with a timely event after dinner — we were late for our post-dinner evening concert despite arriving nearly two hours before the event (which was two blocks away).
翻译:色彩鲜艳,口味清新,但服务缓慢,食物品质不尽如人意。
优点:芭蕉片必不可少。美味的墨西哥酸浆果蘸酱与香脆的加勒比炸水果完美搭配。餐厅氛围温馨诱人,我们的服务员风趣幽默(没有越界)。
缺点:预订开始后一小时食物才送来。他们没有牛排(腌制肋眼牛排),但直到我们下单 30 分钟后才通知我们——这种情况时有发生,但在与服务员交谈后这么久才重新点餐,真是令人沮丧。
点什么?:不要点玉米饼(太干了,令人失望)。点一份美味的炸鸡三明治(“Cemita Poblana”)——三明治比我伸出的手还大,里面还有一大堆薯条。我们几乎可以两个人分享一份——这道菜的份量很足,虽然玉米饼和馅饼的份量不足。
我们会再来品尝美味的食物,但不会再来,因为晚餐后有一个及时的活动——尽管我们在活动开始前近两个小时到达(活动在两个街区之外),但我们还是错过了晚餐后的晚间音乐会。
