This was my second visit to Ay Ay Picante. I love the bread rolls and the chimichurri sauce they serve as soon as you arrive. The arroz con mariscos was very good. It is a paella-style dish with seafood and vegetables mixed with saffron rice. The mixed ceviche was also good, although not my favorite. The empanadas were delicious. The place is BYOB, so come prepared. The service was flawless.
Very interesting, from the papa rellena to the pan fried salmon that I ordered for myself my taste buds were surprised with every bite. The papa rellena was delicious, paired with the onion salad it was a mouth watering combo. They had given us a little bowl of some green salsa that had a nice amount of lime and garlic that went well with the papa. My Salmon Provenzal was the most unique style of seafood I've had in a very long time. The pan seared salmon was cooked perfectly and the sauce they put on top of it was so delicious that every bite was a little splash of joy. I could not get over how good it was that I had to smile every time I ate some more. The steamed rice was lightly salted and I can say it was a nice touch to the salmon. The vegetables were also steamed and paired nicely with the rest of the dish. My girlfriend had the Tallarines Verdes which had a pesto like sauce with a nice consistency and went very well with the steak, she was not able to finish the plate due to its large portion so she was very happy to take it to work the next day as her leftover lunch. Great place with great vibes and even better food. I will definitely be going back with a bigger appetite.
First time visit, clean establishment ,candle lit dim ambiance, Fernando the server was absolutely great very attentive and provided fast service. Our dinner included Aji de Gallina & a Filet Mignon on the grill with veggies and mashed potatoes, the flavor was excellent. No parking lot available for this restaurant just street parking and the entrance is not handicap accessible. It is byob however.
