Mango Ice Tea
Amazing. Probably one of the best drinks I've ever had.  They not only gave a generous amount it came in a cute little mug.  Most places don't usually give enough, but here, there's definitely more than enough (well for me at least).  It was tasty and refreshing and how could they go wrong with a mango flavored tea...satisfied!

Pollo Al Horno
Free range boneless/skinless chicken marinated with oregano then baked, served with black beans and one garlic plantain and one sweet plantain
DELICIOUS!!! Chicken meat was flavorful and super tender! You get a choice of either black beans or pink beans, but I chose the black because it's what I like!  You also get a choice of 1,2 or 3 plantains.  I chose two ; one of each flavor.  Next time, I'm just going to get the sweet plantain.  The sweet plantain is definitely the better choice because it's not hard and crunch like the garlic one and in my opinion there's more flavor to it! I also like the mushy texture of the sweet plantain way better.
Camarones Criollos
Fried prawns marinated and breaded with green plantain. Served with rice, pink beans salad and one garlic and one sweet plantain
Everything is basically the same as my dish beside the main thing.  This was fried prawns, which I thought was good but not as good as mine.  I tend to gear away from fried foods 1) because they're greasy/fatty 2) sometimes I get sore throats from eating too much of it.
