For dinner, we decided on Mama Roomba, a Caribbean place downtown that came highly recommended. Instead of ordering one meal apiece, we chose to order a number of tapas, one meat dish, and a side dish, and it was a great way to get a little taste of a lot of the menu items. We ended up ordering empanadas that were stuffed with meat and covered in a brown sauce, ceviche served on top of a half an avocado, arepas (corn cakes) stuffed with mozzarella and topped with salsa, chicken Paillard (strips of chicken simmered in a Dijon sauce), tri-tip with sautéed onions and chimichurri, and sweet potato fries with habañero ketchup. There wasn’t one dish that I wouldn’t order again, and we topped it off with a dessert of fried banana with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce. With our tummies full to the brim, we piled in the car and met my grandma, my aunt and uncle, and my cousins at my dad’s softball game to finish the evening.
