Just visiting the place we kinda got lost and drove by the restaurant; the name looked appetizing and we tried for lunch. The restaurant was empty and that got us a little concerned but after cruising the menu we relaxed a bit. The restaurant is nicely decorated, clean and there is a flamenco music playing in background. We have tried six tapas and all of them didnât disappoint. The artichokes were presented on a green salad with a lovely vinegrette. The fried calamari are a play of the Rhode Island classic, cooked nice and crispy with 2 sauces, one a classic aioli and one with avocado, garlic and peppers. The chorizo with backed beans had the barbecue sweetness enhanced by cooked figs matching the smokiness and the spice of the sausage. Also remarkable were the garlic shrimp which had a little acidity and spicy sauce perfect for dipping some of their bread. Overall a very good meal, and a place were I would gladly come back, certainly to try their paella.

Best place in town for Mexican food. Fresh nachos, tacos and burritos. Love the people and food. Very local nothing fancy about the decor but that's fine with me as it helps keep price reasonable and still get the freshest food every time. They are super busy so order in advance if possible if not there is a little wait but worth it. Tacos are on the small end but packed with ingredients, therefore add in the nachos and you'll have a filling meal.

Miami-Style (Latin with a twist) dining rooms, a wrap around bar, two seating areas, a private dining room, and outdoor patio seating. When you walk in the door, you will know you are in a special and unusual dining environment. The cuisine is called "Nue

On our initial visit to this nuevo Latin restaurant, our arrival, by shear coincidence, coincided with the weekday happy hour that runs from 4-6PM. If you are buying that, I have some ocean front property in Nevada that you might be interested in purchasing. Since the weather was uncharacteristically warm and beautiful, we decided to start off by settling in at a table under a large umbrella on the expansive deck while nursing a pair of righteous mojitos. We initially thought the drinks a bit strong, but as the afternoon progressed both we and the mojitos mellowed to such an extent that a second round was deemed a necessity. We then settled our tab and proceeded to stumble our way inside for dinner in one of the two colorfully decorated dining rooms. Though the menu offered an abundance of temptations, we decided to share an ensalada fresca (fresh field greens, cherry tomatoes, mango, and goat cheese tossed with a tamarind-raspberry vinaigrette) that proved to be refreshingly light. For an entree, my wife chose Cana, sugar cane-dark rum caramelized salmon over a quinoa, baby spinach, shitake mushroom and sweet plantain warm salad and ginger lemongrass salsa. Wow!Not to be outdone, and for a change I wasnât, I ordered tapada de mariscos (nuevo Latin chowder with red snapper, little neck clams, mussels, corn, plantain, yucca, coconut and saffron. The seafood was both abundant and fresh while the broth was nothing short of delicious. Wow and double Wow!
