Food: Taste trumps variety here

Eloquence is often met with simplicity, not an array of choices. Let's be brutally honest, Paseo doesn't offer a vast menu, but it does well with what it got. Praised for its creative, delicious dishes and unforgettable tastes, it offers an innovative culinary approach that unfortunately takes a hit on the price-value scale. Along with freshness that sometimes wobbles, the taste inevitably wins you over.
