Soda Ara

Trip Advisor is our new best friend.  We look there to decide where we eat, what hotel to stay at, which excursions to go on, who to ask for as tour guides, what to bring/wear to various places... you name it, Trip Advisor has us covered.  This soda (cafe) was recommended so we tried it out one of our first days in town:
 Their french fries are by FAR the best fries I have ever eaten.  Their "Casado" plate is good, and a little different each time depending on what they have.  We have been here twice now, and the second time we got fried cheese!  (it was gross, but a new concept!)  Their rice and beans are sooo good and we love the fried plantains and fish!  We really felt like family as we sat and ate.  The mama took our order and did the cooking, the boys were mopping the floors and cleaning things up, and Daniella was in love with T.
She made herself comfortable at our table :)  So sweet!  I even helped her drink her juice out of a plastic bag!
We are relieved that T has at least one friend, and we're thrilled that she has learned to smile and wave at people as we pass!
xo,
Stef

I love Trip Advisor too when making travel plans. They gave us lots of great restaurants in Paris that really panned out. Is Daniella tied into a chair with fabric like a makeshift highchair? Looks so much better than Chipotle!

Mmmm juice out of a plastic bag. Yummo! And yummmmm fried plantains. On my mission they'd sometimes just boil bananas too, and that was delicious and healthier. It was banana da terra that they'd cook in Brazil. Yummm.

Did they serve the fried plantains with a cabbage/carrot/vinegar concoction? We just ate fish and rice last night and my husband did fried plantains with that "concoction" but it was SO vinegary and we felt like we were missing something. Next time you go there, you should find out what's in it and tell me :) facebook me or something!
