    It was my first time at this restaurant. We ordered whipped eggplant with that famous “balloon”bread that is sooooo delicious! We also got Broccolini, Wild Mushrooms, Scallops and squid-ink Pasta. everything was delicious but Broccolini and wild mushrooms really stood out for me and my boyfriend. The Tiramisu was a bit heavy, I am used to a smoother texture but the delicious taste was there - not too sweet and right amount of espresso.

    We received excellent service as we arrived and ordered our food and drinks. CJ was wonderful and patient as he explained the variety of menu and drink options. The food was delicious and the drinks were tasty. The sticky ribs had an amazing flavor and were not too spicy for us. The guacamole was delicious and had a beautiful presentation. We are so glad we chose Hermanitos for lunch!
