Note: This post originally was published in November 2006 with my reviews on Yelp.

Good empanadas, friendly service, decent entrees, tasty flan.

We arrived around 8pm on a Wednesday night and they were at least half full, which was more than I expected and a pleasant surprise. Tables are close together, but not uncomfortably so. I wouldn't say it is an overly romantic place, but it wouldn't be terrible for a date.

One random observation: the rice that came along with my churrasco was very good. Too many times restaurants send out sides that are overdone, old or otherwise sub par. Love it when a place takes care of the little details, as it is usually indicative of the care that put into everything they do.
