• surprising good!

We were disappointed to find after looking at the menu and asking our server for more details, that as vegans our only option for main course was the brown rice and veggies! We could have settled for this, but we felt that it wasn't very exciting and was also something we could easily make for ourselves. We had been by the restaurant earlier to look at the menu posted near the door, and it had looked very promising, unfortunately all of the other vegetarian options contained milk, butter or cheese, which wasn't detailed on the basic menu on the door. Even the corn empanadas aren't vegan. :( Our server must have sensed our disappointment and suggested the eggplant pie with sweet potatoes instead of mashed potatoes to make it vegan. We happily agreed and the food turned out fantastic! Those were some of the best sweet potatoes I've ever had! It was served as a casserole, shepherds pie style with tomatoes and eggplant on bottom and a layer of sweet potatoes on top. It came out so hot the juices were still boiling! The bread that is served before dinner is also really good, it comes warm from the oven and we ate 2 loaves between 3 people. We also tried the local beer. One annoyance: they wouldn't give us tap water when we asked, only bottled. We found out at the end that our server was vegan, so I guess we got lucky and would have been eating brown rice and veggies otherwise.
