Here is the restaurant as described: Showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Mexico, South and Central America and the Caribbean, as well as San Antonio’s unique fusion cuisine, our menu provides a tantalizing diversion from typical fare.
A diversion from typical fare is right! It was right up my alley since I will try most anything. Their wine list was very nice as well.
We split an appetizer called Tostones con Yucca frita y salsa criolla which was Fried Green Plantains, Crispy Yucca, Sweet Onions in a Garlic Cilantro Sauce. I had never had Yucca which I thought tasted similar to and had the texture of a potato. The Plaintains I had not had either and they were crispy, a bit cold and not as flavorful as I would have hoped. The shrimp and the onions were delicious!
I had their Paella A Achiote with mussels, shrimp, calamari and roasted vegetables. It was very good, I wonder if the rice should not have been cooked a bit more, but not knowing the cuisine, maybe that is how it should be prepared. I enjoyed the flavors in the food and the seafood was delicious! Thanks to my phone camera here is a picture before I dug in!
No room for dessert but to finish the Michael and David Viogneir that I had.
