We had dinner there last night before going to a concert at the Music Hall. Copious portions, relatively good food from this first impression. Caldo verde soup kind of boring. I made a dinner of two appetizers – steamed NZ...

on the registers that say cash only. The tacos ($1.25) were really good. We had a choice of at least 10 meats and seafood including the usual carnitas, lengua, cabeza, asado, pollo (grilled or stewed,) al pastor, plus cabrito,...

on the inside and without too much grease. Plantain Chips were good, but my notes don’t provide any further details. Pato Saltado con Arroz Verde - A braised duck breast served with cilantro infused basmati rice and aji...

When we saw The Jersey Boys, we walked over to The Boulevard. Nancy rocks! You can walk in and eat at the bar first come first serve if you can’t get rezzies. We have reservations after an Avenue Q show on the 25th, but if...

. They were topped with a really fresh salsa verde and silky cook crema. -I didn’t try the following, but you can get $3 guacamole and chips, $4 ceviche, $3 or $5 quesadillas (enormous! price based on whether you want...

was delicious, soft, with a slight crispiness outside. All these came with a choice of 4 salsas (salsa manolo, salsa verde, pico de gallo and salsa fresco) They were out of platanos and yuca fries which was disappointing...our...
