Decent food but unmemorable

by snowcrow at Citysearch

Reading reviews we had high hopes for this restaurant. Found the menu schizophrenic---sort of Italian (ravioli stuffed with cheese and beans), sort of Mexican (potato cakes and shrimp with the the mundane topping of shredded lettuce, tomato, green chiles, and salsa on the side--yawn!), sort of ....what? Maybe "South American" is a run-of-the-mill combo of different cultures' food. I really don't know. But nothing stood out---besides a very dense, rich, delicious flan---as a memorable dish. Certainly, not for the prices charged. A ho-hum, salty lamb stew special tasting a bit "bourginon" for $23 dollars. If you like safe food, by all means check it out. You won't be surprised and the service is really good. If you are looking for a fresh palette of flavors..... keep looking.

• Pros: Great service, delish flan
• Cons: unmemorable dishes, overpriced

Quirky, tasty, great!

This place is definitely worth the trip to an off the beaten path area of Wheat Ridge. It's a quirky spot, but the owners have done a great job of splitting up an old strip mall into a labyrinth of dining rooms.

Our server was great. He really treated us warmly and like family, and gave great recommendations. I forget the name of my wifes dish, but is was basically an awesome hash of potatoes with well seasoned steak on top. It was a latino comfort food wonder. Our starter of ceviche was one of the better we'd ever had, and was almost a meal unto itself.

This is a new favorite, will be back often.

• Pros: Warm service, food, quirky layout
