Nacional 27

Nacional 27 Review

Here's a bit of trivia to spring on fellow diners: there are 27 nations south of the U.S. border, and it's the cuisine of those 27 that supposedly comprise the pan-Latin menu here. That may be an exaggeration, but the menu does offer variety. Try the tiny barbecued lamb tacos appetizer and follow with the slow-cooked pork Cubano with coconut rice, black beans, and plantains. The circular bar draws a following independent of the food. After 11 pm on weekend nights the floor in the middle of the dining room is cleared for salsa and merengue dancing.

    very disappointing. went there last night for a double birthday party. the food was just not good. the only thing i would ever pay to eat again was the weekly special dessert. everything else i would not eat even if it were free.
    it's a nice dance club. and the drinks are pretty good - if a bit expensive. ($10 for a cocktail.)
    our server was nothing special. fine when there, but not often there. and did not know how to deal w/ a large table.
