The restaurant is housed in a historic building dating back to the 1800s and features a warm and welcoming interior and a patio area illuminated by twinkling tree lights. Specializing in traditional Latin American fare, the house specialty is quesadillas de chivo, which is grilled flour tortillas stuffed with goat’s cheese and green onion, topped with Argentinian mango sauce and available with either chicken or pork, with the option of additional shrimp."
