We tried a spot at the new Trinity Grove strip, Chino Chinatown. Let's just say if an Asian and a Latino had a baby and the baby opened a restaurant, this is what it would look like. The decor on one wall was Latin and Asian on the other.
The menu was hard to read because I didn't understand the descriptions, so I asked the waitress for suggestions.
My drink was the Calle Capon. Whoa baby, watch out! That drink was on FIYA! Mmm Mmm good! It was a little sweet with a spicy kick. This drink is not for sissies. The glass is quite small. When it came I was like really.. Then I took a sip. If the glass was any bigger, Catherine would have been carrying me out the joint! Have you seen her?? Yeah, that wasn't gonna happen!
I first tried the chicken lollipops (aka chicken drummets). Good flavor, sweet and garlicky. For my entree I had the Duck Fat Fried Rice. Which was basically their take on fried rice with shrimp, Chinese sausage, roasted pork, duck breast and a sunny side egg on top. Very tasty and the portion was a nice size. I love restaurants that give me enough for lunch tomorrow.
I chased my entree down with a soda. They serve the Cokes from Mexico in the bottles. Love those too. They are a tad bit sweeter than the ones in Dallas.
The atmosphere was nice. You have the choice to dine in the restaurant or on the patio. The service was a little slow for the restaurant not to be very busy. The restrooms were not selfie approved but clean enough to handle your business and get back to your table.
I think the restaurant is date approved. Not noisy and the tables are spaced well enough so that if you were to tell your life story (I hope no one does that on a date) your neighbor wouldn't hear it.
Our waitress was Miranda. She was a doll, very attentive and knew her menu.
