Sala, is yet another one of Virginia Highland’s well kept secrets. The cuisine is Mexcican; exquisite and authentic. To begin with, I was charmed by the interiors; fire red, orange and very inviting. They have an outdoor patio, an indoor salon and an ample bar. It seems like a popular restaurant, it was crowded and we even bumped into friends, enjoying the same Mexican earthiness as us!
They serve a very delicious, complimentary dip with chips, a touch out of the ordinary salsa. The wine list was extensive and was well paired with the different entrees. Most of the entrees are wood-grilled or roasted and the portions very large. Me, in my effort to be different, chose the shrimp cocktail however and I can honestly admit that it wasn’t all that appetizing. My favorite part, as usual, was the dessert; dense chocolate cake with a mousse.
The only down-side was that they did not have complimentary parking and despite a reservation, the wait time was pretty long. It was worth the wait though!
