| Sangria & Mojito |
It advertises itself as the most reserved restaurant in Brooklyn, and few would dispute this claim. Sometime had passed since I lasted visit this now Brooklyn staple. I noticed some subtle changes to the decor, but the one thing that remained unchanged was the familiar buzz generated by the guests as they enjoyed their Latin American fusion experience.

| Arroz Con Pollo |
As we waited to be seated, we enjoyed drinks from the bar and I recalled my chat with the Owner of Bogota, about a year removed as we got acquainted over drinks at another of my favorite Brooklyn stops, Nana, just a few doors down. It turns out Bogota's proprietor knocked on many doors attempting to secure funding for his Brooklyn restaurant without much luck, that is, until my employer took a gamble and approved the funding that got Bogota started. So this is the common thread between us! and as they say, the rest is history, as this entrepreneur's dream went on to become a real life success story.
Today, we enjoyed the arroz con pollo as this is what we were craving for. The Menu however features quite a variety of dishes from all regions of Latin America. Anyway, the food never disappoints and we were served by a most pleasant waiter named Allysion who actually spoke Spanish and gave us top rate service.
In the end we were happy just to be able to get in without reservations on Mother's Day. Actually, I had called ahead and they advised me that they only took reservations on half their seating capacity, and the other half was left open for walk-ins. Lucky us!
