I really wanted to love this place. Having just spent a year living in South America I was so excited about going here with a friend to sample their 2 Courses for \u00a34.95 lunch menu.\n\nI'm afraid I came away feeling a little disappointed. I started with the Bruschetta, and despite it's description on the menu it had hardly any topping on it and instead of the crusty bread advertised it was a part-baked white baguette. Hardly screams latin flavour. My friend went for the mozzarella melts with chunky salsa and a side salad, and got a grand total of 2 teeny tiny fried mozzarella fingers, 2 limp lettuce leaves and a pot of what looked to me like nothing more than lumpy ketchup.\n\nThe main was a bit better. We both went for the Chicken, Bacon and Avocado salad with honey and mustard dressing which, although not being a remotely latin american dish save for the avocado, was still tasty. I would have liked a bigger portion though.\n\nThe d\u00e9cor was what salvaged it for me, stepping inside made me feel like I was back in Buenos Aires or Quito again, and the music added that extra little bit of authenticity that the food lacked so badly.\n\nHowever, my admiring of the d\u00e9cor stopped when the bill arrived. I really don't see the point in luring people in for a cheap lunch when one glass of wine costs more than 2 courses of food.\n\nI hear this place is good to go in the evenings, but if I'm being brutally honest I wouldn't rush back there for food.
