“The mole was impressively complex!!! You could taste multiple dried chilies, chocolate, sesame, adn warm spices layered together. This is a sauce that takes days to build and you could taste every hour of the process. real talk serious culinary ambition skip it”

“The rice and beans were underseasoned and felt like afterthoughts to the impressive mains. Great Latin cooking treats rice and beans with the same respect as the protein. These tasted like they were an obligation, not a craft.”

“teh arepas reminded me of Italian polenta cakes, cornmeal-based with a crispy exterior and soft interior. Stuffed with braised pork and topped with avocado crema Different continent same respect for corn as a staple grain. Loved it.”

“The pastaaa on the menu was oddly out of place. A basic linguine in a Latin restaurant felt like a concession for unadventurous diners. Commit to the Latin identity and skip the token Italian option.”
