Trip report general observations & comments

I'll second El Perla Negra for coconut shrimp; the mango sauce is much more subtle than that cloyingly sweet sauce at Lety's. As much as I like the other stuff at her place, the steep price increases are a real turn-off especially, I would think, to all of us who have sung her praises on Rob's board, thus helping her business thrive. I recently had a shrimp stuffed chile at Daniel's, which was almost as good as hers but at about half the price.
