Even when the economy wasn't so bad, we would always use coupons from those entertainment book fundraiser things. Here's one such occasion when we used one...at Andres Restaurant on Morena Blvd.
They'd expanded into a bigger restaurant. There is also a Latin market next door, but it was kind of sparse inside.
The reception area of the restaurant. We ate in the smaller section off to the right of this. Behind the counter is a bigger banquet area.
Thank goodness for coupons...
It was also sparse in the dining area but filled up before we left.
Bert asked the waitress what she would recommend for beer - this was her pick, the Bohemia.
I had the Palomillo, which is steak seasoned Cuban style sprinkled with parsley and onions, and served with rice and beans. That was one huge piece of meat. It was sliced thinly though, but still...I didn't want to eat too much since we were going to Thane's shindig later that evening. I loved the seasoning on the meat which went well with the rice. As for the beans, not a big fan of beans in general. I thought the onions would be better caramelized.
This was Bert's dish - the pork with rice and pigeon peas. His rice was much better than mine and we ended up getting a little off each others' plate. We figured our plates would be subtantial, so TC shared our food as well. That's the beauty of these 2 for 1 coupons. Lots of food for half the cost.
I think we'll be going here again soon! After lunch, we went to the next door market where I bought a few jars of dulce de leche and these round wafer things called "obleas". I've bought them before at Tropical Star...Love them! Sorry no pix of that!
