5 /5 mysticpoet2012: STOP!!! At this hidden jewel, replete with your favorite foods of The Islands!
We were looking for something open late, and hopefully delicious, and we found Sabor de mi Isla- Taste of the Islands.
The moment we walked in the door we were hit with an atmosphere of authenticity - music, warm greeting, and old world decor. Fancy? No. But warm, inviting, spacious? Absolutely.
For whatever reason, as soon as I walked in I had a yearning for Morir Sañando. No sooner had i opened the menu, and the words left my lips, than our host said "yes!" It was wonderful.
It would take a page to relate to you all the good things to which we were exposed and enjoyed.
Food - made fresh, quality ingredients, authentic, delicious.
Their cup overflowed with charm, and conviviality!
We had: three fish tacos
Yellow rice, beans, fried green plantains,
And Veggie Empanada.
This author had
Shrimp empanada, Creole Salmon, w salad, yellow rice, black beans, and plantains, a pineapple beer, and of course, my morir Rolando.
We had not such a nice day at Universal Epic, and were heading home quite sad, to share a bit too much, but with a point.
We didnt think ANYTHING could cheer us up... that might have been true, if we had not found and stores into Taste of the Islands.
We left happy, more than satisfied and uplifted.
Oh prices? Very reasonable!
Thank you, señor, for your warmth, graciousness, hospitality, and delicious, authentic food!!!
OH, AND REMEMBER TO BUY A BOTTLE OF COQUITO BEFORE YOU LEAVE. We cracked it open when we got home.
May I say, with absolute respect, Dio Mio!!!
Delicious and full of Holiday Spices!
Ok...if youd like to know anything else, feel free to ask.
Happy New Year, to our host, all his patrons, and reviewers, and everyone else!
