    This was my second time at Espiritu, but my first time having dinner. I initially discovered the place for cocktail hour and appetizers after a comedy show and instantly fell in love with the vibrant ambiance, delicious drinks, and tasty small bites. That great experience convinced me to return to try their dinner menu, and I'm glad I did! We started off with two zero-proof piña coladas, which were vibrant and tasted wonderful, and the queso fundido appetizer was absolutely delicious. For entrées, we had the papas tacos and the sticky pork belly. The papas tacos were excellent, and while the sticky pork belly was good, it wasn't very sticky and was served more like large pieces of steak instead of being cut into chunks and coated in sauce. For dessert, the key lime pie was fantastic. A special shout-out to our server, Cori, who was fantastic and very attentive throughout the night!
