This relatively new eatery's unique menu stands out, as do its charming decor and super-friendly service.
OK, maybe “happy” is a tall order given the current political climate and, well, the actual climate. But “new” is achievable, and you can find it on a dinner table if you look in the right place.. Although about a year old, the restaurant was new to me and so was its style of cuisine: vegan-leaning, all-vegetarian Puerto Rican food.
Besides, diners waiting on entrees can placate their taste buds with entertaining cocktail specials. These have included seasonal coquitos — rich and sweet, rum-spiked “vegan Puerto Rican eggnog” made with coconut milk scented with vanilla and cinnamon; rosemary-pear gin and tonics — the rosemary wasn’t detectable, but sweet pear notes playing off lime juice made these go down easily.
If you want more picadillo — I did — order the picadillo plato . This was a sizable serving of that zestily seasoned plant-based ground beef blend accented with green olives, raisins and sauteed green and red peppers. Its plate partners were flawless fried yellow sweet plantains, white rice plus soulful and flavorful Puerto Rican-style stewed beans .
