Thoughts:
The
start
of
our
dining
experience
at
Don
Jacinto’s
was
a
little
confusing
honestly.
The
menu
was
entirely
in
Spanish
and
our
waiter
was
having
just
a
bit
of
a
harder
time
translating
some
of
it
into
English
for
us.
Eventually
we
got
an
English
menu
with
helped
a
considerable
amount
so
if
you
aren’t
awesome
with
some
of
the
more
uncommon
food
related
words
in
Spanish
then
maybe
just
ask
for
the
English
menu.
It
helped
us
narrow
down
what
we
wanted
a
bit
better.
We
ended
up
ordering
a
mojito,
patacon
con
queso,
two
empanadas
and
then
a
whole
red
snapper.
We
would
just
share
the
appetizers
and
the
main
dish
since
neither
of
us
were
that
hungry.
The
mojito
was
delicious
and
great
example
of
a
good
mojito.
I
mention
this
only
because
I
found
the
mojito
wasn’t
as
common
of
a
drink
as
I
thought
it
would
be
for
an
island
where
everyone
serves
drinks
and
rum
is
super
common.
I
think
it
might
be
that
mint
is
probably
the
rare
ingredient
in
this
dish
but
I’m
not
sure.
The
pataocon
was
actually
a
little
disappointing,
I’m
not
sure
if
it
was
an
intentional
decision
but
the
cheese
on
top
of
the
plantains
wasn’t
melted
at
all.
Basically
someone
just
sprinkled
shredded
white
cheese
on
top
of
plantains
and
it
ended
up
resulting
in
a
dry
dish.
If
that
is
how
they
meant
to
serve
it,
I
think
I’d
try
asking
if
I
could
get
them
to
bake
the
dish
for
three
to
five
minutes
just
to
melt
that
delicious
cheese.
The
empanadas
were
great
though,
the
beef
inside
them
was
really
well
seasoned,
not
the
dry
flavorless
meat
crumbles
that
you
sometimes
get
in
empanadas.
I
was
impressed
that
they
paid
just
as
much
attention
to
the
filling
of
the
empanada
as
they
did
the
dough.
The
winner
here
though
was
the
red
fish.
It
was
fried
whole
and
served
just
the
same,
leaving
you
to
pick
the
flaky
fish
off
the
bone.
The
fish
was
smaller
than
some
I’ve
seen
which
left
it
perfect
for
a
single
serving,
in
the
past
fish
served
this
way
is
often
so
big
you
really
need
two
people
to
finish
it.
Fortunately,
this
wasn’t
the
case
because
my
wife
had
decided
she
was
full
right
as
I
dove
into
the
snapper.
The
snapper
was
pretty
good
but
a
little
over-fried
in
my
opinion,
it
left
the
fish
just
a
little
dry
in
places
where
the
fish
wasn’t
as
thick,
and
the
crunch
was
a
bit
more
like.
The
taste
of
the
fish
was
there
just
a
little
overwhelmed
by
the
crunchiness
of
the
fish
skin
and
dryness
of
some
of
the
smaller
chunks.
Don
Jacinto
was
a
good,
if
not
quite
great,
restaurant.
Their
stand
outs
were
the
whole
red
snapper
and
the
mojito.
It
is
incredibly
affordable
for
everything
you
get,
and
their
mojito
was
on
point.
While
it
wasn’t
my
favorite
restaurant
it
is
good
and
affordable,
and
I’d
go
back
for
sure
if
I
lived
here.
