My friend Ahmar and I headed to Pica Pica the other night for girl talk and tapas. We tucked ourselves into one of the booths, and enjoyed some friendly service and saliva-inducing dishes.

You too can have this lovely experience. Whether you visit with a friend or in a big group, when it comes to tapas, it’s all about sharing. For two people I recommend getting four of the “Nuestras Tapas.” And don’t forget your veggies!

This is what we ate:

Ceviche – Tomate y aguacate
Tomato and avocado salad

Esparagos gratiné
Asparagus with Parmesan gratin

Pollo con queso de cabra alla pimienta
Julienned chicken in a white wine, lemon, and peppered goat cheese sauce

Gambas bravas
Shrimp in a cream sauce

Trosos de autun al sofrito
Cubed red tuna in an island spice sauce

Again, as I mentioned in my previous article about Pulled Pork Sandwiches at Dépanneur le Pick Up, I am certainly not a food critic. That being said, both Ahmar and I agreed that the ‘Gambas Bravas’ (shrimp in a cream sauce) was our fave choice.
