One of my favorite places to hang out in LA is Larchmont. It’s filled with cutesy little stores and good eats. Although the village consists of only a few blocks, I always end up discovering something new. This time wasn’t an exception and we treated ourselves to wonderful Caribbean cuisine at Prado where we were pleasantly surprised not only with the food, but a 10% discount offer to celebrate their 20th year. We ordered Carioca Chicken and Seafood Paella which was their special of the day. I lo-ved the sauce on the chicken. It had chunks of tropical fruits which made the chicken not only burst with flavor but very soft. I’m not a huge chicken fan but this one was a definite winner. btw, service couldn’t be better- the waiter was just impeccable. and you know, it’s all about good customer service. This place gets a 10 just for that.
Carioca Chicken
Seafood Paella:
Actually liked this dish a bit more than the chicken probably because I’m an avid seafood lover. lol. It was very moist, extremely flavorful, and the seafood pieces (shrimp, lobster, scallops, fish) were HUGE. Not as good as the one I had in Spain (with a whole lobster) but I’d go back just for this. uh.. I. want. NOW! :T
The night ended with a Tiramisu Cupcake from Crumbs, a Red Velvet Cake & Grapefruit Green Tea from Bricks and Scones, and Starbucks. Lovely. <333
On another note, finally feeling better. Hallelujah! :)
