En Mi Vecindario IV

Just three blocks from where I live there is a fantastic restaurant called El Calle Jon de Las Delicias. There is nothing that says “classy restaurant” like a satellite dish sign. Sarcasm aside, it is actually quite nice. The lady who runs the restaurant is always very welcoming and it is clear by the presentation and the quality of the food that the cooks have professional training. One time three of us showed up for dinner 45 minutes after they closed and the lady who runs it made us dinner despite the fact that her cooks were all gone and she was the only person left.


The second most important selling point (after how delicious the food is) is the fact that the verandah is a mini-botanical garden. More and more I realize how important plants and nature in general are to me.
