In this decade-old Mexican restaurant you'll be greeted with an explosion of colors, sounds and the aroma of dishes so arousing that the primordial response to drool may overtake you. This food is real. But the sensory buffet launches with the ambience long before the taste bud tango begins. Outside, deep pink bougainvillaea climb the walls of the charming, lush patio - one of the nicest places to take a meal on a warm evening or breezy afternoon. For those looking for a quiet place to get to know someone better, skip Poca Cosa.
Noise levels run from a low rumble to an all-out resounding chat fest.
Soft-spoken, romantic words would be consumed by rhythms of Mexican music blended with conversation. Menu items change daily and are written in Spanish with colored chalk on portable blackboards. About 10 selections, including beef, chicken, seafood and vegetarian choices, incorporate unusual ingredients from many regions in Mexico. There are no tacos. Servers will read through the menu at the table and interpret each selection in English.
