Waiter Jose Santos says, “A lot of people come in here for the first time and ask a lot of questions. We try to help them out.” He personally recommends the shellfish casserole, and “anything with pork.” In keeping with the restaurant’s traditional character, the chef refuses to reveal his secrets.
