"aye!" answered the survivors. :)
we actually came for the dessert:
the sopa borracha is a panamanian dessert. SSi is panamanian. :) too bad she's still in fiji, we miss you ninang!
it's a block of drunken sponge cake, like bread pudding. sprinkled with raisins and a sweet lemon syrup, it is very rich in flavor. the slice of lemon somehow balances it, and the creaminess of the ice cream makes it yummier. *drool*
but we had to eat something else, of course. we started with nachos generously topped with cheese and beef, and with salsa and chili con carne on the side. you can never go wrong with the nachos. :)
we also tried the tomato and cheese quesadillas which i absolutely loved. who ever thought that such a simple combination would leave one speechless?
we also ordered 2 kinds of chicken dishes, one smothered with a cheese sauce, and the other with garlic/lemon (?). the sofrito cream dory con blanco queso was a moist fish fillet steamed inside a foil with cheese and cucumber bits. they were a bit bland for me so i moved on to the enchilada, which was like lasagna but with beans and tortilla sheets. now that was good. :)
DSK enjoyed his beer with lemon ("very refreshing!") and we loved the hot chamomile tea with lemons inside a paul masson wine bottle. oh, and we also tried their vanilla cafe and cafe con kahlua. sorry no photos. :)
i want to go back and try their other selections - burritos, fajitas, pork ribs (belly?), pizzas, and the quesadillas, of course. after i finish my 10-day detox program. :)
