Dan and I went to THREE different restaurants in downtown JC only to either be ignored wholly at the door, seated then ignored for an inordinate period of time, or told the wait was much longer than we were willing. So we ended up at La Conguita and the food AND service were EXCELLENT and much less expensive than dinner would be at most other places. Sometimes the service there isn't the greatest, but this time it was as good as one could ask, and the new stuff we tried was amazingg.
 |
| Garlic Shrimp appetizer with Cuban bread - SO DELICIOUS. BEST THING I HAD ALL NIGHT. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and pretty large. Cooked in garlic slivers and oil. Spread the rest of that garlicky goodness on the bread. |
 |
| My usual order of Pernil with rice, red beans, and maduros. As usual excellent and sooo much left over. |
 |
| Jalapeno Steak Sandwich - Thin cut steak, jalapeno slices, onion, oaxacan cheese and mayo plus the perfectly cut fries. The steak was nicely cooked - not overdone, which is great b/c it was so thin. Of course Dan loved the pepperyness. |
 |
| Bread pudding with vanilla ice cream, chocolate chips, and caramel. ALL HP's fav sweet things. First of all, this was soo tasty, sweet, and the right texture. Second, ONLY $4. Soul Flavors (third place that f-ed us over) has an excellent bread pudding that is I believe $9. So all in all, despite the stinky start to the night, I would say we were winners going to La Conguita. |
