Mojito – Latin Cuisine and Bar

We decided to celebrate our one year anniversary with a simple dinner date at City Place, a plaza with lots of shops and restaurants, located in downtown West Palm Beach.

We walked by Mojito, a Latin Cuisine and Bar and decided that we would eat there, since the atmosphere and menu seemed pleasant. It turned out to be a pretty good choice, as both the food and drinks were delicious.

We decided to order 4 different tapas, which are small plates of Spanish appetizers designed to be shared. I liked this since I enjoy tasting a variety of different dishes. We each chose 2 tapas, I took the paella and lobster guacamole, and le bf ordered the sliders and the “Ropa Vieja” (clearly he likes his meats :P).

Paella - mussels, clams, featured fish, shrimp, chorizo, saffron rice

We were especially impressed by how much seafood was in the paella. The sliders were really tasty too, the meat patty was tender and the small size was perfect for me. The portion of the plates were more than enough for the 2 of us, I had to depend on le bf to finish most of it of at the end as usual :P

The inside of the restaurant was dimly lit and the atmosphere was quite casual. Towards the end there was a live music group playing and it got quite loud, so we left a bit earlier to walk around outside in the plaza. Overall it was a wonderful night :)
