Outstanding food and service that matched. Great recommendations from a friendly and attentive waiter. The food and drinks were amazing. Pork chops were breathtaking. The Dosalas Margarita (x2!) was spectacular. And ending the lovely evening with flan was life-changing. :) Obviously, I loved this place as a new neighbor!
