Three brothers and a brother-in-law from El Salvador realized their long-held dream of opening a restaurant together in November of last year. Jaime Sorto, his brothers Hugo and Jose Bonilla, and his brother-in-law Jose Zelaya looked for a name that symbolizes their concept of two cultures coming together.They chose La Malinche, the name given to a historical figure who has been at the center of controversy for centuries. The noble Mexican woman was enslaved and given to Hernán Cortés, a Spanish conquistador. She became his interpreter and confidante. Their son was viewed as the first mestizo, a child of mixed blood.Many Mexicans consider La Malinche or Doña Marina to have been a traitor, but today, she is also honored as the symbolic mother of the country’s mixed-race people.At La Malinche, all of the starters, vegetables, meats and seafood are served as Spanish tapas, called botanas in Mexico.

We love Pacci’s a local independently owned small restaurant. Originally known for its Neapolitan pizza, which is still great, now encompasses a basic Italian menu with daily specials. Our party enjoyed lasagna- “flavorful meat, delicious ricotta, maybe a little too much red sauce”, calzone- “good dough, nice amount of cheese and meat, could have benefitted from more sauce or a separate dipping sauce”, and picatta style barrumundi- “moist flavorful fish, light lemon butter sauce with plenty of capers.” Service was prompt and friendly, not intrusive, could have a little more attentive.

My clumsy fingers have somehow erased my previous detailed song of praise. Sorry, but I have to be quicker this time. Morgan was our server and we had many questions and discussions - we could not throw her. Everything she recommended after listening to us EXCEEDED expectations. (We stayed so long her break came before dessert so her manager kindly stepped in and recommended a dessert I would normally not have considered - SO good!). We felt lucky to get to sit in a quiet but jolly atmosphere and catch up and laugh. Looking forward to next time!!!

Letena was a winner from start to finish. The servers were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and well-presented and the ambiance was just right. We got the veggie sampler and our granddaughter ordered the beef tips. Both were outstanding. Bravo!
