Description
Owner Eduardo Arauz says fellow Nicaraguans come from all over the southwest to eat at this, Texas' only restaurant specializing in the Central American cuisine. Order a parillada Nicaraguense to try a little bit of everything, including vinegary marinated meats, fried cheese and two kinds of plantains. But don't skip the nacatamal, Nicaragua's gigantic, ultra-flavorful take on the tamal.
