Description
There is a reason that this little Noho eatery is so festive. That would be its daily happy hour, which runs all night Sunday and Monday and from 5pm to 8pm the rest of the week, with two-for-one drink specials on mojitos and other specialty cocktails at the bar. Of course, there are other reasons to come here besides boozing. The restaurant serves up Latin American cuisine with a Cuban bent, including tapas like tiny empanadas, plantain chips with guacamoles and mini Cuban sandwiches. There are entrees as well, Cuban classics like lechon (Cuban roast pork) and shredded beef, plus dishes from other Latin American countries like grilled skirt steak with chimichurri sauce, paella, and chicken and rice. As one would expect for a place with such great drink deals, the atmosphere can be a bit raucous at times, especially in the narrow bar area in front. The dining room, painted in bright shades of red and orange and decorated with large colorful paintings depicting life in Cuba, is a little bigger and the vibe a little more laid-back.
