Mojito

The menu at Bobino founder Chris Paddock’s latest eatery ranges widely over central and South America, but the central organizing concept comes from Brazil’s churrascaria steakhouses, slow-roasting beef on open-flame skewers. On our recent visit we sampled the picanha—one of Mojito’s signature fire-roasted meats rubbed with garlic—and the feijoada, a tasty stew of pork sausage, black beans, and orange. The wine list is replete with South American vintages, or you could quench your thirst with the restaurant’s namesake cocktail, the minty-sweet Cuban mojito. Price, while not unreasonable, are what you’d expect from a steakhouse, but those looking for a cheap date should try the specialty pizzas, which feed two for $9 to $10
