Flan (Vanilla flavored flan topped with caramel sauce drizzled with honey and powdered sugar. Topped fresh fruit), Capirotada (Rich and creamy bread pudding baked with apple and Banana slices, pecans and raisins, drenched with Vanilla cream and whipped cream, garnished with strawberry slices), Tres Leches (A very moist chocolate cake, topped with a velvety chocolate mousse and drizzled with a wild raspberry sauce) and Chocolate-cover Strawberries. What a sweet ending to a fabulous meal!

Muscovy Duck Barbacoa (Shredded braised duck legs, pan-roasted with chipotle tomato sauce, sweet fried plantains, baby arugula salad, feta crumbled cheese). I don’t know how long it was braised because it was really tender. I love all things made with tomato sauce and I love duck, so naturally I loved this dish.

El Gaucho (Grilled Skirt Steak, Citrus Scented Chimichurri Sauce, Fried Steak Potatoes, Herbed Sautéed Vegetables Of The Day). Although I don’t usually order Skirt Steak, it was tenderer than I expected. I particularly liked the chimichurri sauce. The potatoes and sauteed spinach were great compliments to the meat.
