Quatro Leches Cake
Located one block from Kasalta in Ocean Park Pirilo Pizza Rustica’s second location draws a more local crowd than the Old San Juan flagship, lunch on Monday mostly quiet save for music overhead while servers are quick and pleasant.
Open daily at 11:30am on Calle McLeary, a quaint open-air environment cooled by fans wrapped around the bar, it was after perusing the QR-code menu that three items were requested, the Octopus tender and bold with Garlic while three Empanadas were each light and flakey with ample amounts of filling.
Slowly enjoying Appetizers, in particular the Pastry with Seafood, it was not long before “La Pampa” arrived, its meaty toppings unfortunately undermined by “sold out” Chimichurri (at 11:45am) and an unleavened Crust that went unfinished and allowed enough remaining stomach space to enjoy world-class “Quatro” Leches Cake given added smoothness by Coconut Milk.
