  1. Went to dinner here one evening around 8pm, there were no other tables.  I actually went to their website and found some coupons, but didn't realize it had expired until we got the check.  The ceviche was overly pungent, and the seafood was actually previously cooked, rather than "cooked" in acid as ceviches are supposed to be.  We also ordered fried seafood platter, that included calamari (and more ceviche!) but there was too much breading on the seafood.  Nonetheless, the rotisserie chicken was the highlight of the night, it was juicy and well-seasoned.

    On a side note, it was weird being addressed as "hey lady"…sounds like the beginning of a bad song.

  2. A large group of us met here for dinner on Friday as one of our friends highly recommended the place.  This location is very new, opening only a few months ago.  I think most people haven't discovered it yet so we mostly had the restaurant to ourselves.  

    We left the ordering to our friend who had been here before and he just went wild ordering a variety of dishes.  For main courses we had ceviche, lomo saltado (beef with peppers and onions over french fries and rice), seafood fried rice, jalea (mixed fried fish and seafood), and fried plantains.  All of us remarked on how good the fried dishes were.  They weren't greasy at all and the fried rice was some of the best I've had.  The ceviche was delicious too, with tender seafood and just the right amount of lemon juice.  The food is quite inexpensive which made me leery about the quality but it definitely exceeded my expectations.  I'm looking forward to going back and trying even more of their dishes.
