We celebrate our cousin Archie’s birthday by overdosing on food. Again.
But first, check out the plates. Ooohhh. Aaahhh.
Even the utensils reek of nostalgia
Garlic Bread
Mexican Platter – go for the quesadilla and the bold-flavored salsa
Seafood Platter – everything is tender. Only lacking is dipping sauce and lemon.
Baked Penne – cheesy and creamy
Spaghetti Meatballs – like the spaghetti, not the meatballs
Lamb Salpicado – tough but tasty
Beef Salpicao – tough but tasty
Lamb Kaldereta (compliments of the owner) – tender and flavorful. Thank you, Crispin!
Crispy Pata – meat is soft but needs more flavor
Paella Valenciana
Paella Negra
