Friday Night

Centro Tapas Bar

Last night brought a great new find in the neighborhood, Centro.  It was a great Tapas joint, that had a really interesting menu, was contained in a row house that was still originally laid-out with small rooms that contained 2-3 tables.  There was also a tropical patio, but due to the newly-formed AC restrictions in our house, we opted for a table right in front of the window.
The food was amazing and the prices really reasonable for a joint with valet.  We shared 5 tapas, 2 beers and 2 sangria for $65.  Even better is that, our highly informative server let us know that if we come back on a Tuesday they serve $3 tapas, beers, and sangria.

We started out with Sangria and Negro Modelo

Then moved on to a black truffle chicken pate.

Then we moved on to another special that was a seared piece of salted cod with caramelized onions and peppers, dressed with citrus aioli. 

Then came a unbelievably delicious quadrofecta, parrillada--bacon-wrapped petite filet mignon, grilled chorizo, caramelized plantains, fried yuca, cilantro mojo

We finished up with some jamon serrano, 18 month salt-cured ham and aged Mahon, a  traditional farmhouse cow's milk cheese, hard but creamy, from the island of Menorca

And to top it off, we finished with a 3-block walk home, where Alan accidentally hailed a cab by pointing to a really amazing rooftop patio.
