    Oxtail, dirty rice, and fresh passion fruit juice

    I had easily one of the best restaurant experiences of my life here. The server was incredibly knowledgeable and patiently described many delicious-sounding options to us, then brought us a taste of the oxtail so we could make an informed decision. She was friendly and fun, but the food itself was also exceptional. The oxtail was so tender and perfectly spiced, the guisado had an incredible sauce (definitely get with onions and peppers!) and the dirty rice went perfectly with everything. My husband loved his plantains with the mayo ketchup, and we both adored the passion fruit juice! Go check this place out!

    This corner shop is quaint, cozy and full of small town charm. It has a friendly atmosphere with a gracious hostess, and people seem to know each other, or engage in friendly conversation. They don't have a fixed menu. Stop in to see what they have on special today! Dirty rice, pintos, tostones, empanadas, Latin American sodas, and fresh made drinks like tamarindo. You can even get wings or fried chicken on rice with pintos and gravy. The food comes out fast and fresh, for carryout or dine in. They even have a small diner counter you can sit at while watching telenovelas and listening to Latin music. While there isn't a wide selection for vegetarians, you can certainly find some tasty options, then cover them in picante sauce. I had the cheese empanadas, rice and beans, tostones, and a tamarindo. It's a lot of food at a very reasonable price. Here's their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Deliscafe34 It shows up on Google Maps as "Dominican Restaurant." They describe it on Facebook as "rich Hispanic food with Dominican Creole seasoning."

    Hands down the best lunch spot in Hamilton. The staff has a fun, friendly, family vibe. You feel like you are eating out of someone's home kitchen. Highly recommend the ox tail, snapper, and mofongo.

    Good food, limited selection and the open hours tend to more of a suggestion than set sometimes. If you're flexible, you'll be fine

    La Embajada La…read moreEmbajada is an Argentine Steakhouse, mobile kitchen and catering venture in Dayton, Ohio, that specializes in Argentinean, Italian and Spanish cuisine - nearly fine dining. We arranged to arrive ten minutes early in order to converse with Mónica Fabregat. Well worth the planning and effort. Mónica was delighted to learn that we have visited Argentina and experienced the people, cuisine, beauty, and various wineries. I had to ask Monica if she had visited Bariloche. Bariloche is located in the foothills of the Patagonian Andes on the southern shore of Nahuel Huapi Lake, near the border with Chile. Aspen, Colorado, is the most frequent U.S. city comparison for Bariloche due to its shared identity as a premier, upscale mountain resort destination. Both cities are famous for high-end skiing, luxury lodges, and a sophisticated, "ritzy" atmosphere that attracts wealthy international travelers. Beyond Aspen, Bariloche is often compared to other U.S. mountain and outdoor-centric locations for different reasons. Monica explained that "Argentine cuisine is primarily the union of food from our two biggest immigrant populations, Spain and Italy," Throughout the menu, Spanish and Italian influences are easy to spot, from espresso, pastas and flatbreads to empanadas, Argentine sausages and chorizos. La Embajada is a small, nicely decorated, pleasant restaurant - Qualifies as a Date Night with your wife, and my wife greatly approves. Service is excellent. YELP is always a must consult for us, and folks have consistent posted 5 Star reviews. We always take care to download the menu prior to dining. The Dictator Steak caught my eye the previous night, and I asked Monica which steak she recommends. Her reply was the Dictator Steak - a 30 day aged Ribeye. Difficult to find a 30 day aged Ribeye in the Dayton market. Monica then offered a nice Cabernet Sauvignon; I immediately declined and Monica smiled - she then offered a Malbec. Sorry, I forget the label, but very often we order a Malbec rather than a Cabernet Sauvignon. The single flaw (not the restaurant's doing) was the appearance of 14 young parents and very young children without reservations.... Folks do some minimal research - No one suddenly appears at an upscale restaurant in a group this size without reservations. During our three week Overseas Adventure Travel visit, we experienced a winery every day, and we came to favor Malbec. Malbec is a dark, full-bodied red wine grape known for its deep color and rich, fruity flavors like plum and blackberry, with notes of vanilla, cocoa, and tobacco, especially when aged in oak. Originally from France, where it's a key Bordeaux blending grape, it has become the signature grape of Argentina, thriving in high-altitude vineyards and producing wines with soft tannins and balanced acidity, making it a classic pairing for grilled meats like steak. My wife specified the Mixed Grill and the Seafood Bowl; Paella-style rice with shrimp, mussels, calamari and octopus. Of course, our plan was to enjoy "leftovers" at home, and we did. I observed to Monica that often in Buenos Aires steak restaurants place a live fire BBQ with steak in the front window; she knew about this and replied this would violate fire code in US. She observed these were higher priced restaurants for tourist, and I agreed. I found in Buenos Aires, by walking a few blocks, a similar menu was available for 50% less. Caveat: Go to La Embajada as soon as possible and do visit Bariloche when in Argentina.

    Food was amazing…read more They have a sauce for one of the dishes which pairs well with fries. I had the steak. Cooked perfectly and honestly more flavor than Jeff Ruby's. Need to to back
