You should try the "pollo mareado" and all the variety of mojitos. They're awesome! For me, one of the best Latin Restaurants in Philly. (And it's Christmas decoration is wonderful)
Great for grouping outings. Famous for its mojito and Ropa Viega (which was a slow-cooked pulled pork and bellpeppers with sides of fried plantains and cuban stylerice) = satisfying.
The food here is good, my favourite dish is the Ropa Vieja a steak dish. The ceviche is good too, but a little too citrusy for my taste. During off-peak hours service can be very slow, be prepared.
Occasionally the food reaches new heights, as with their paella Valenciana and some solid brunch offerings, including a delicious smoked salmonfrittata. Read more
Eat brunch outside on a nice day and order the Ultimate Bloody Mary... with bacon-infused vodka. And eggs benedict with the most amazing hollandaise sauce. Mouth = happy.
Good bloody marys! Great brunch menu on the weekends (they used to have it available 7 days a week, I miss it). For dinner, I love the Churasco Argentino!!
Bloody Mary kind of morning? Refresh with a Bacon Bloody Mary: bacon-infused vodka and garnished with a bacon strip. There is also a vegan and kosher version available.
Food ia amazing and creative. They were bad at providing a table around my reservation and it left a bad taste... slow to start... water and bread took 20-30 minutes.. but then picked up after.
Get Mojitos at Mixto for $5 on certain nights from 5-7 PM. (Regularly $8 - $10). Great Maduros, too. (Sweet Plantains.) Straight or Gay - a GREAT place.
