It's been quite a long time since the last time we ate at this restaurant where we usually enjoyed its fish dish and hot rolls (my favorite). My friend and I recently returned to this restaurant and were surprised to learn that our favorite dishes were no longer available. Since we were both very hungry, we decided to stay and ordered two dishes made of beef and chicken. For dessert, we had fried bananas. My friend commented on the limited amount of beef in her dish. About 90% of her serving was french fries and the rest was small amount of sliced beef. Mine is about 90% rice, the rest was chicken.The dishes were served in big platters/plates so we had "to dig in to find our meats". I paid approximately $45.00 for this lunch and we both felt that we could have eaten better tasting foods and cheaper ones for this amount of money had we gone to a different restaurant..Conclusion: we're not going back to this restaurant. There are several restaurants next door offering Chinese, Peruvian and American dishes. We'll try them during our next visit.

Peruvian style place, 1/4 or 1/2 chicken with rice and beans is what most customers get. Sides of plantains, mashed potatoes, salad, etc. I just got a salad, which was huge and great, with a side of mashed potatoes, both were way above average. Employees super friendly, place very clean and newer. Near little Caesars, same shopping center as wendeys. The have a huge menu, lots of chicken sandwiches, chicken or steak salads, not beer. Will go again

I was craving Spanish Tapas close to home and found this place on the internet and I decided to give it a try with a girlfriend. OMG, the ambiance, the waitres/bartender and the food were amazing and the bill was very affordable and we had so much food. They are constantly revisiting the menu and changing it, which I find fantastic. I recommend this place if you want to stay local and have great food.

Still not my favorite location (Annapolis, I miss you!!) , but it's ok.Little bit of a rocky start: We were greeted by a clueless hostess who didn't seem to know that part of her job was to provide us with menus and show us to our tables. My boyfriend has to ask her to give them to us. (HUH?)I checked out the menu before I arrived to see if it was the same as the other two locations I'd been to, and was tempted with an order of free guac if I signed to up receive their emails. It was the most delicious decision I made all day! That was some of the best guacamole I've had in a good long time. Big chunks of fresh avocado and flavorful add ins...mmmm. The guac was served with a mix of fried yuca slices, fried plantain slices and tortilla chips. The fried root vegetable slices are one of my favorite things about Paladar. I'm so glad my boyfriend doesn't like guac... that meant that it was mine, all mine! (MUAHAHAHAHAHA!) And it was really big "small" order too... I almost didn't have room for dinner, and I was VERY hungry when I arrived. Boyfriend got the Spicy Queso Fundido for his appetizer, and never have I seen a man so happy to see chorizo (we don't eat pork in our house). I flicked away the sausage chunks and tried a little of it. It wasn't as good as my guac, but of course that's a TOTALLY biased opinion.I had the Diplimatico Sidecar. Pretty good cocktail. Not as good as my beloved banana colada though (not sure if that is only available at the Annapolis location or of they've discontinued it altogether. Either way, I miss it).For dinner, boyfriend ordered the brisket burger. We had to ask for steak sauce, because despite all the stuff piled on it, it still lacked flavor. A nice smoky/sweet sauce would make the burger amazing. I ordered the churrasco skirt steak. The pinto beans that came with it were... interesting. I appreciated the chef's attempt to add a level of depth and complexity to the side dish by adding a dash or two of cinnamon, but it just tasted... random and kinda weird. The rice was soft and almost mushy. Tasted like some boxed Goya yellow rice. My steak was not nearly as large as the other skirt steaks I saw coming out of the kitchen, and it didn't taste as good as it looked. Even the chimmichuri couldn't help it. It tasted like little more than a grilled hunk of meat. No flavor. A little seasoning before grilling would've gone a long way.

Had a very nice dinner at Botanero. I donât usually like tapas because you order lots of dishes & never seem to have enough to eat. This was different, the portions were more generous. Especially liked the chicken drumsticks, sizzling shrimp and short ribs. Creme brûlée was very good. Also felt it was reasonably priced.
