I went because a friend goes there afterwork for the happy hour pitchers of sangria (1/2 off $30 reg.price). They have art work by local artists that changes regularly and have live music on several nights. The crowd is mixed, generally mid to late 20s and 30s but not pretentious. This place is a sign of the gentrification that is happening in Spanish Harlem, but it's still an early sign. The food is good, tried the Amarillos (maduros) that were good (they're hard to do poorly) and a platter that had food I didn't recognize but was good and the Mofongo that was good but needed a bit of salt. I also tried the hummus but didn't really enjoy it, they seem to make it w/olives, which I'm not a fan of. The sangria was indeed good. Four of us shared the appetizer type food and a pitcher of sangria, the total was a little under $90 - you do the math. I'll be back.
Pros: Ambiance, front doors open for quasi outdoor seating
Cons: sorta scary people hanging out front
