Review of Chino Latino Restaurant

Chino Latino, as readers, must know, bills itself ...

Chino Latino, as readers, must know, bills itself as a fusion of Asian and Latin American cuisine. In my opinion, Chino Latino has basically two separate menus. One's Asian, one's Latin American. They may share a handful of ingredients, but the fusion of the two cuisines wasn't well thought out. The execution for each cuisine was well thought out and the quality is generally good, but this wasn't quite what I was looking for in a fusion cuisine.

Getting to particulars, the margarita was (much) too salty. The sushi selection had too much going on - just too many conflicting tastes that you can't get the full experience of each ingredient (e.g. spicy tuna plus avocado plus a generous portion of soy sauce).

All in all, a decent try, but doesn't quite cut it in my opinion. I don't want to go to a place billing itself as a fusion cuisine, and to have to stick to either the Latino or Asian sides of the menu.
