a spanish restaurant
Last month Monica and Larry were on vacation in California. Everything was just fantastic. The weather was beautiful and the ocean was very warm. They stayed at an excellent hotel. There was a swimming pool and a private beach.
Monica and Larry went out for dinner every night.They especially liked Casa Pedro a small Spanish restaurant across the street. It was one of the best places to eat in town very popular with tourists and always crowded. They liked its atmosphere friendly andrelaxed. The service was very good, the chef was great and the waiters were really helpful. They were always happy to explain the different dishes of spicy Spanish cuisine and recommend the wine.
The food was always fresh andtasty. Monica and Larry absolutely loved it! The choice of dishes and drinks was fantastic. And it was fairly cheap, only about $20 per person with wine. They usually ordered a salad of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots and onions as a starter. Larry also liked pizza topped with eggplant, tomato, garlic, basil and cheese. Every time they went there they tried something new. They chose a lot of different small dishes called tapas and shared them.
On the last day of their visit Monica and Larry wanted to have pizza, but as they were looking at the menu, Walter, the owner, came out with a huge live lobster. They changed their minds and decided to have the lobster with baked potatoes stuffed with cheese and ham for the main course. The lobster was simply boiled, but it was really delicious. And they had cakes for dessert and drank green tea. They were both in heaven. What a perfect vacation!
