Cafe 28

We came for dinner around 6:15 on a saturday night (good thing we came early without a reso, 'cause it was packed when we left about 7:45). We were seated immediately and decided to order a picther of sangria for $24. Value points because this pitcher is not filled with ice and barely any sangria - it is all liquid and no ice. And it was damn tasty.

We started with the taste of Cuba appetizer - which is juicy beef empanads and fried croquetas - 3 of each - with a buttery dipping sauce. Then we shared the comal, which is much like fajitas. We opted for the combo of steak and chicken. They were flavorful and spicy and definately enough for two, plus another portion to take home.

For dessert we shared the profiteroles which had a nice twist of kahlua chocolate sauce and hazelnut gelato. 3 small ones made the perfect portion.

With tax and tip we had a great night out and got pretty tipsy for under $75. It's delicious, the service was attentive but not intrusive, and everything was reasonably priced. I will definately be back!

Pros : low cost, great sangria, good food in big portions
