Escape Latino

Enjoyed a cozy date, ordering mezcal cocktails and comfort food appetizers. Our two waitresses were polite and very friendly. We loved the flavors in both the Smoked Margarita and the Mezcal Mule. Ordered the fresh avocado and shrimp appetizer; the buttery sauce is great! And we really enjoyed the fry on the chicken bites.

The mofongo de pernil, a much recent addition to the menu is a warm welcome addition to the already stable and balanced menu of the establishment. Their take on a softer plantain (you can hear the chef at the back pounding al the goodie ingredients at the back) texture pairs well with the crispy bits of fried pork on the side. Although the meat is on the leaner end of the bite, it’s a fair decision for the more health conscious city folks. I only wish there can be a little more generous with the very mild sauce to compliment the whole meal to bring to together at the end (totally personal opinion, as some may find the balance is just right with their mofongo texture!). However I am very sure you can just let the kitchen know prior as a preference. Don’t forget to try to coconut mojito, it’s too fun to miss it out for a nice time. Enjoy
