EATS

By Jim Gaspar

Help! Please visit this restaurant before the infamous "nice food while it lasted..." law of Scottsdale ethnic restaurants strikes again.

After the aeoli and toasted bread with tomato arrived instead of chips and salsa, I asked if the cook would adopt me. The lunch menu has a few pages of hot and cold tapas followed by the bocatas (sandwiches). The prices run from $4.25 to $7.50. I had the $6.00 special, a tuna steak, even though the tuna and anchovy sandwich was calling my name. How I ever managed to leave a place where I could, and did, say "more aeoli please..." is still a mystery to me. Must have been that job I had to return to.

Please visit the Rincon Espanol: across from the China Gate in a little shopping plaza (near Hayden and McDowell), 7607 E. McDowell Rd., Suite #120, Plaza del Rio, Scottsdale.
