Fun date spot

by Melanie1234 at Citysearch

My boyfriend took me to dinner here. It was pretty crowded when we got there but we managed to get a table in the back. The waitress was great and suggested a few appetizers. The croquetas filled with ham and cheese were so good! They has a sweet mapple syrup dipping sauce - sweet and salty. Yumm!!

We shared the ceviche, gilled octopus with sweet potato and sausage, and fish tacos.

I had a naked margarita and my bf had a Michelada, which is beer, hot sauce, salt and lime. I've never heard of it before but I loved it!

  • Pros: music and food

Great for drinks and the food is delicious!

by melijunela at Citysearch

I met one of my girl friends for drinks after work on Thursday. I loved the space - the dim lighting, cuban graffiti on the wall... it has a really rustic feel. We started with frozen margaritas. I don't know what they put in them to make them so good. I also tried the pisco punch (to die for) and red sangria (sweet and spicy - i've never had sangria like that). We ended up inviting a few more friends to meet us for dinner.

We shared a bunch of appetizers and tacos - the food was delicious and it was a great way to try everything.

Wil be back soon.

  • Pros: Decor, food and the margarita!
