Looking for a bite to eat before a movie at the mall, we happened upon Pobre Juan due to their excellent three-piece jazz band's music wafting into the mall's corridors. We were seated in view of the huge charcoal grill which was giving off delicious smells. Couvert was good, and had several spreads, including a blue cheese one. The grilled palmito side came served in its own husk - impressive looking! - with a tasty chimichurri sauce. It didn't have much flavor besides the grill marks -- not even salt. Sirloin was done medium rare although my husband requested medium, but tasty and tender nonetheless. My salmon was grilled perfectly medium, although the lemon risotto to accompany it was unforgivably crunchy (undercooked). I didn't finish it. One of the few restaurants I've been to that serves Hoegaarden, it was served ice-cold in a wine glass. I would try this again to see if some of their other dishes are better.
