pleasedThe menu is long and involved, and we intend to go back and explore it further. Everyone was delighted with their order. Mine was "Camarones al Mojo de Ajo" (shrimp in garlic sauce): the most delicate buttery sauce, with a warm garlic note that didn't overwhelm the shrimp. The rice and beans were good. The tortillas were excellent, warm and tender. We also split an order of flan for dessert. (The prices are reasonable, and for that, you get enough food to satisfy two ordinary people. For three entrees, we had lunch for three people plus supper for two! Hence the splitting of dessert.) Now we were all fans of flan, but this was extraordinary flan. It was perfectly creamy without that tough gritty layer that forms on the bottom if you overcook it. It also arrived with a generous cover of whipped cream, ever so lightly drizzled with bittersweet chocolate syrup. Every other flan I've had in America has been bumped down to "pretty good" in comparison.
However, there's one other reason to visit the restaurant besides the food: the art. The inside is decorated with splendid murals. The one on the back wall shows a Mexican street scene, very pretty, that we looked at while eating. As you come in, the left side of the little hallway has a barn scene painted on it. But opposite that -- on your right as you come in -- is a truly striking picture of several dancing horses. If you're an artist or a fan of murals, that one is worth the trip.
We're looking forward to our next visit.
