Navigating the menu at this solid Latin American option is easy, mainly because it’s tough to go wrong. Start with the small, but tasty, beef and spinach-mushroom empanadas with spicy avocado sauce. Move on to the cazuela de mariscos—red snapper, shrimp, squid, scallops and clams soaked through with creamy tomato sauce—and the flank steak, so tender that chewing is almost a formality. Savor it, though, just as you should the delicious margaritas—shaken and poured into martini glasses tableside.
