Calle Dao -- Update

Calle Dao dinner menu and food are much better than brunch.  This location is also much larger and nicer than the original locale.

Items that I liked:

• Mapo maduros -- delicious sauce, and can't go wrong with maduros.  I was expecting it to have more heat (like mapo tofu), but it was still really good as is.
• Pato frito (orange glazed duck over fried rice) -- didn't look too picturesque, but the duck was so flavorful and tender, and it went well with the fried rice.  Could've used more duck to rice ratio, but overall good.
• Spiced goat neck -- also tender and saucy and good, although note you have to eat around bone (kind of like oxtail), so portion size is again smaller than expected.

    

Other:
The appetizers we tried were fine but nothing special (shiitake spring rolls, pan fried dumplings), and dessert overall was underwhelming, sadly.  The bunuelos were good, but nothing special about the flan, and the matcha tres leches had a strange texture.
