Tonight we went with our friends Lisa and Aruna to Samba Room which specializes in latin cuisine. Because it's restaurant week in Denver, in addition to their standard menu, they had the special 5280 menu (a multi-course meal for $52.80 per couple).
For my appetizer, I had pork tamales in a sweet and spicy tamarind sauce. Seriously awesome - they were the highlight of the meal. I will definitely remember these the next time I'm trying to find a good happy hour place.
For my entree, I had a grilled Argentinian Skirt Steak in Chimichurri Sauce - it was really good and well prepared.
For dessert, I selected an Empanada filled with a combination of Cream Cheese and Goat Cheese and drizzled with Mango sauce. To my surprise I got one of the appetizer Empanadas filled with beef and corn but drizzled with Mango sauce. Hahahaha ... LOL. I've never had mango paired with beef and corn before, and I probably won't again, but it was hilariously good. I was worried that the Cream Cheese / Goat Cheese combo might be too rich anyway.
Jen and I had been wanting to try this place for a long time - it's definitely a good place for apps and drinks.
Here's a link, but as a warning this is one of those obnoxious Flash websites:
