In Short
Pale yellow stucco walls with earth-tone and wood accents make for a mellow Latin vibe in this relaxed space, where cozy booths line both sides of the small dining area. Starters include fresh guacamole and hearty black bean soup. For entrees, there are shredded chicken enchiladas with tomato jalapeno sauce, glazed pork with sweet potatoes, and chicken with habanero peppers wrapped in banana leaf. For dessert, chipotle pepper chocolate cake boasts a sweet afterburn.
