Another meet up for the International Supper Club and another tasty dinner. This place is a little far from where I live so I probably won't become a regular but I did really enjoy it. The place is real small but is decorated cute and seems very clean. As others have mentioned they are a bit slow but to be fair we were a large group.\n\nTo start, hubby and I ordered the empanada Colombiana and Green Tamal. The empanada was a bit different than what I am used to in Mexico since it was fried but it was really yummy. The outside tasted like masa rather than wheat flour based dough. And the filling was good, too. My only regret is that there wasn't more of it. Next time I would order two! ;0) The tamal was absolutely delicious and I would say a must get. The masa was wonderful, not too greasy but not too fluffy. And just a hint of sweetness so you can tell its green corn. There was a mild chili and some creamy white cheese in the center. So simple and yet so good!!\n\nFor our entr\u00e9es, I had the Sango de Camarones. Unfortunately I didn't care for this one too much. I don't think there was anything wrong with it, just not to my taste. I was expecting a brothy soup with the shrimp but really it was more of a gumbo type dish. I still ate the shrimp and I will say that they know how to cook shrimp. In both my dish and the bit of ceviche I tasted the shrimp was not rubbery and overcooked at all, it was perfectly pink and juicy. Edgar had carne asada which he asked for spicy. But little did he know how spicy it would be! I almost think they have ghost peppers back there. That is what the dish tasted like and the sauce was red. The meat was very tender and flavorful (yes, I stole a bite) the side dishes were good as well (lentils and plantain fritters). For dessert we split a coco flan which unfortunately we ordered just by pointing at what someone else had got rather than looking at the menu and seeing that it contained coconut. Hubby doesn't particularly like coconut but since this dish is sort of half cake and half flan, the flan part didn't have much coconut in it. So we were still able to share and be happy! ;0)
