$12 for $25 Worth of Latin and Caribbean Cuisine at Flaco's Cocina in University City
Before the invention of tacos, only half wheels of cheese, shared-with-a-friend cookies, and vastly oversize slices of pizza fulfilled the coveted semicircular food group. Get your daily dose of half-circle nutrition with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of Latin and Caribbean cuisine by way of South Beach at Flaco's Cocina in University City.
The cooks at Flaco's Cocina serve up an expansive menu of seafood and Latin specialties carried to tables alongside handcrafted cocktails and house-made sangrias in a colorful, nonchalant environment. Celebrated fish tacos with seared tuna, blackened tilapia, or tempura baja grace plates under a canopy of zesty pico de gallo ($4 each); lobster empanadas luxuriate in saffron-coconut cream ($14); and traditional braised carnitas fajitas ($12.50) tempt taste buds. Marinated ceviche, such as bay scallops with papaya or shrimp with oranges and chilies ($10), harness the power of heatless cooking to feed the intensely pyrophobic. The cozy interior envelops patrons in aquamarine walls peppered with local artwork, carmine chairs, and orange and blue pendant lights. Flaco's Cocina's chips and four salsas ($3.75 unlimited), made fresh in-house daily, disappear at a rate that supports anthropologists' campaign to grant tortilla chips protected-species status.
