ABC Cocina with the Haile-Mariams

It had been a while since we'd had a proper double-date with DJ's parents, so we invited them into the city for brunch at one of our favorite spots: ABC Cocina.
 

It was a perfect opportunity to try things on the menu we hadn't had before, while also ordering a few of our favorites.  Between the 4 of us, we enjoyed family-style sharing of:

guacamole with a side of grapefruit salsa
(both were amazing, and DJ's mom LOVED the salsa so much she might try to recreate it at home)

crispy fish sandwich
(fish prepared similarly to the fish tacos we love; very light, fresh, and flaky)

beef empanadas
(the pastry shell = perfection; the beef filling piping hot and spicy)

patatas bravas
(beautifully prepared potatoes; crispy outside, fluffy inside)

roasted pig sandwich
(to quote DJ: "Scrumptious.")

crispy fish tacos
(one of our favorites)

tres leches cake
(we all agreed this was among the best tres leches cake we've ever had; would come back just for this dessert)

No doubt about it: ABC Cocina was a wonderful place to spend quality time with family.  Though the music got a bit loud at times, we really enjoyed the overall atmosphere and the tasty food.
