    Menu board!

    The reviews are good! So I was in town doing laundry at the local laundry mat and stopped here for some authentic Spanish cuisine! So good! So flavorful! Really felt like I was at my abuelas! I got yellow rice, and with 1 meat it's $8.00 for a large. With 2 meats it's $12 for the large size. Deliciouso!

    Horrible!! I came here bc my brother invited me and said it was a great restaurant but it was…read morebought out and under new ownership. Vibe was off as soon as we walked in but decided to give it a go anyway. Btw around 6pm on a Friday. Only one server who seemed new and was doing everything by herself. We then decided to order and the first she said was "oh we are out of this and we are out of that." Flag! Not busy at all as a matter of fact only a couple of people inside and 2 at the bar. Then when I ordered pollo guisado she said "oh I'm sorry we are out of that too.." I said ok bistec then and my brother ordered the same with the rice n beans and a side order of tostones.. everything was bland rice, beans, and especially the bistec. No flavor whatsoever. And the Bistec although bland tasted like it was old and had a weird taste to it. My brother agreed. Simply horrible! The only 2 things that were good was the tostones and the parcha juice! That was it definitely NOT worth the money at all. If you go again expecting how it used to be well prepare to be disappointed to say the least. You will see. Sad.

    The mofongo with shrimp was incredible -- perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, soft inside,…read moreand packed with garlic flavor. The shrimp were juicy, fresh, and cooked just right. Every bite tasted homemade and authentic. Definitely one of the best mofongo dishes I've had. The portion size was generous, and the sauce tied everything together perfectly without overpowering the dish. You can tell real care went into the preparation and presentation. I'd absolutely come back for this again and recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Puerto Rican food.

    Went last night for an early dinner around 530. We had made reservations a week or so ago but there…read morewere free tables so you probably could just walk in as well. The place is super cute and decorate well! It's clean and a everyone was so nice and attentive which made for a really welcoming environment. I really wanted to love the food but my Italo Peruano was way too spicy when the description on the menu/the ingredients listed didn't indicate anything that would give it that much heat. Also the steak was cut very large for being served in a pasta dish and in a bowl where it was very difficult to cut it. The Lomo was good but too salty. The dessert we shared however was amazing! We got the churros which came with chocolate sauce, strawberry puree and Lucuma ice cream! They told us it was a South American fruit! It's hard to describe the flavor but it was awesome! Kind of like a caramel/butterscotch with notes of sweet potato and maple syrup! It doesn't sound like it would all work together but it absolutely does! Overall we had a good experience and would be totally willing to come try the food again next time we are in the area!

    If you're anywhere near Mohegan Sun & craving something truly unforgettable, do yourself a favor &…read morecheck out Canggio Restaurant in Norwich. This hidden gem is serving up bold, vibrant Peruvian cuisine that will leave your taste buds doing a happy dance. I started off with a delicious papaya passionfruit jalapeño margarita. It was the perfect balance of tropical sweetness & just the right kick of heat. It's the kind of cocktail that makes you pause after the first sip and say, "Wow." Whenever I see ceviche on the menu, I almost always order it but especially at a Peruvian restaurant. This version featured Baramundi fish, lime juice, cilantro, onions, sweet potato chips, leche de tigre, rococo. There was a ton of fish, it was firm & super fresh, just the right amount of acidity, a little bite from the fresh red onion... put it all together on a warm sweet potato chip & it was the perfect bite! Note: The warm sweet potato chips were so awesome, we just had to have more! The chips were crunchy & slightly sweet, the perfect combo for the cool citrusy ceviche. On the recommendation of our lovely server, we then opted for the Spanish mussels with fresh herbs, tomato, onion, fennel, garlic, white wine & cream reduction, topped with toasted baguette slices. There were a good amount mussels nestled in a rich, creamy sauce that had us practically licking the bowl (no shame in our mussels game). By then, we were almost full but the next course was Pollo a la Brasa: family recipe for slow roasted chicken, fries, garden salad & aji verde. The chicken was tender, flavorful & perfectly charred - simple but perfectly executed. The sauce was a vibrant, herby green sauce that I would happily slather on everything. The ambiance is cozy yet contemporary, the service is attentive without being overbearing & every dish that came out of the kitchen had us planning our next visit before we even finished our meal. As a wife of an Army veteran, we were both touched by the missing man table - a table set in honor of fallen, missing or imprisoned military service members So if you are at Mohegan Sun & want to venture beyond the usual options, Canggio is 100% worth the short drive. Make a reservation, thank me later! Highly recommend.

    I visited Spain with my family for dinner and it was not what I expected from a Spanish restaurant…read more Most of the items on the menu are heavy dishes that lean more Italian-American or American in my opinion. Vegetarian options are very limited-the evening I visited there was a pasta with vegetables and vodka sauce, a spinach dish and grilled vegetables. I ordered the grilled vegetables and got a giant platter of many different types of vegetables. This was fine except there was half an avocado on top that even a very generous drizzle of balsamic glaze couldn't hide was past it's prime. I only looked at the wines by the glass, but there was one Spanish white and one Rioja. I ordered the white wine and it was solid. My family ordered the veal parmesan, fried calamari, linguine with clams, a mushroom appetizer, and coconut shrimp and they were happy with their dinners. The veal, calimari and linguine had a lot of oil. All of the portions are huge and there's a $5 fee for sharing, so definitely come with an appetite.
