Don't count on intimate conversation, because the music here is loud, Loud, LOUD. It's also one of the things that attracts regulars, so don't ask your server to have it turned down. (He or she won't, even if you say please.) This small chain has branches in Miami, Dallas, and Chicago. The kitchen turns out an enterprising menu that includes rum-raisin, plantain-crusted mahimahi on coconut rice with mango mojo; paella (chicken, mussels, fish, and sausage over rice); and sugarcane beef tenderloin with chipotle mashed potatoes and spiced mushrooms. There's a patio for mild-weather al fresco dining.
