Tired of the Los Angeles catering scene, the owner of this intimate latin theme restaurant puts her savvy and spices to good work on the lower east side. She pays attention to details with interesting presentations and little twists on classic latin dishes like the otherwise menial empanada. See the chili bowl style crockery this restaurant uses to showcase their fried plantains.

There is a nice tapas, small plates menu and even "prepared foods" to help you wow your guests at your apartment party.
