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 werereally 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 lovedit! The choice of dishes and drinkswasfantastic. And it was fairly cheap, only about $20 per person with wine. They usually ordereda salad of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, carrots and onions as a starter. Larry also likedpizza topped with eggplant, tomato, garlic, basil and cheese. Every time they went there they triedsomething 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.
