Food / Service

Very tasty and varied food, inspired by south american and mexican cuisine, but hardly typical of either. There are some typical dishes like quesadillas, but there are also non-typical dishes such as lamb or duck.

They serve a very good guacamole, as well as a bean and sour-cream dip; you should try it :)

Also, try the plantain empanadas, but it's not what you might expect. Rather than being a doughy crust stuffed with plantain, it's a stuffed roasted plantain :) Very tasty.

Environment / Ambience

I have to admit that I'm a little skeptical of celebrity chef restaurants, but this doesn't have the pre-canned feel of others in its vein.

The dining room is bright and colorful, but unfortunately fairly noisy.
