Monday Morning Quarterbacking
Yesterday my review of Talara, Harbor East's new ceviche and tapas bar, ran in the Arts & Entertainment section.
I liked the food a lot, and I would go back for the tapas and ceviche in a heartbeat, but I hope I emphasized enough that a tapas meal here will cost you as much as a full dinner at some places. One reason tapas has made something of a comeback recently, I believe, is that you can usually eat cheaper with small plates. That won't happen here unless you go for the happy hour.

We have different ideas about what constitutes Latino wines. I agree with Chile and Argentina but I have never heard of the wines of Spain and Portugal being referred to as Latino.

EEL, I've never heard of Spain and Portugal being referred to as Latino either, but I can't think of any logical reason why they shouldn't.

The review of Talara largely matches my own experience.
I would go so far as to say that the emphasis on 'atmosphere' and 'scene' at the place seemed to try too hard.
I get it, you're Latin. Now let the animatronics start singing already, so we can get it over with. I fear it's the sort of place that confuses ENERGY! with an experience.
The food, while capable, seemed more hit-or-miss for me than in the review.
Still, Baltimore seems to be a latecomer to Nuevo Latino -- Talara's still welcome in my book. Just bring it down a notch, fer chrissakes.
