We generally hit this beautifully decorated Cuban-Dominican place around brunchtime, and the jewel of its brunch menu is flounder with lime and garlic sauce with a side of beans (we like black) and rice (we like yellow). The standard Latin chicken, beef, and pork selections are also present and accounted for. Hearty omelets, Mexican or roasted-pepper, come with huge chunky home fries and a dab of guacamole. There are also pancakes served with strawberries or apple. Come in earlier and the breakfast menu includes Huevos Rancheros along with American standards. If you're catering a party, platters for up to 10 people include pork or shrimp in the same lime and garlic sauce we admired earlier. The decor—in green, salmon, and tan—makes this one of the most beautiful Latin restaurants in the city. And needless to say, it does a great café con leche.
