Make the Most Out of Your Money at Aprovecho

In Spanish the word "aprovecho," means to make the most of out of something and Aprovecho the restaurant certainly does, it makes the most out of your money. It wasn't my first time going to Aprovecho, a cheap and authentic Mexican restaurant located in Manhattan on First Avenue and East 67th St.

The restaurant is not your best choice if you're into decor and atmosphere. You can choose your meal to go or enjoy a meal at the restaurant which is quite small but very festive in color. I know what you're thinking, why do I choose to keep going to Aprovecho when the first three lines of this review seem to point in a negative direction. Well, it's the price, the service, and the Sangrias.  

The prices at Aprovecho are very affordable and right on target for the many wishing to get a good deal on a night out. You can get an appetizer and the main course for around $15 dollars. The food is good, so don't concentrate on the presentation. The presentation leaves much to be desired as there isn't even any type of garnish with the food. 

I love good service and I tip very well when I receive it. Although, there is only one waitress on a Tuesday night at Aprovecho, she's is friendly and very attentive. You can see the same faces when you go back, which makes Aprovecho seem like a home away from home. 

If you're like me and like to have a drink once in a while then you'll really like the drinks at Aprovecho. You can get a half pint of Sangria for only $6 bucks and can drink 2-3 glasses with a friend. They have an assortment of flavors, which you can try if you decide to go back.

Well, I'm giving Aprovecho 3 stars for it's price, service and the Sangrias.
