Portobanco's on Venice Blvd
Portobanco's is at 1125 Venice Blvd LA CA 90006. This may be my first dive into Nicaraguan Cuisine. I went with my friend, filmmaker Shan Sheik. This was once his neighborhood and he knew the local restaurants like family. He suggested i try the Fritanga which was outstanding. Some plantains, some chorizo, grilled beef. it was all good. Would love to go back and order the chicken dish. Shan ordered this traditional milk like drink, I forgot what its called. He let me try it and it was a little too sweet for me but it was good. The service was really good. There was this young woman, who I assume was staff, she came and took our picture. Later, she came back with a free printout of it and then had it in frames and asked if we wanted to purchase it. We didn't but said thank you for the small print out. I don't know about Shan but it left me slightly puzzled. I felt bad that she didn't get a sale. I hope she still gets paid. She was very nice. 1225 Venice Blvd, Los Angeles...
