Puerto Alegra

We went there last night with two dear friends of ours who are expecting, so I thought it would be a good first review, fitting with the theme and all.  it was also nice because there was a group watching the giants game and every time they scored they cheered, so we could enjoy our dinner and still know the score as the Giants took 1st place in our division.

Yelp! said the place was child-friendly, but that's just a box you check on their site.  I could and maybe will put these reviews on Yelp!, but here they will all be in the same place, eventually.  Anyway, here I can talk about other stuff besides the restaurant, like how weird it is to be dining with a mix of hipsters, homeless folk and roving mariachi players looking at your child.  And other cool interesting stuff I will think of the next time, when I am less tired and more familiar with how English works.

The hostess was really warm to us as was all the staff and they sat us in the window - a place where we could put the stroller and not block anyone else.  It was supper loud there so you could say a crying baby would bother anyone.  The only real down side is that they have no changing tables, so you have to change the baby on your lap - thankfully it was just a wet diaper - and people were knocking to come in, as it takes a while to change a diaper anyway, even when you have the right equipment.  My husband can change a diaper in two minutes in a bucket seat of a car, but he has mad skills.  It takes me a while.

Summation:
Pros: Nice staff, enough ambient noise, no attitude
Cons: needs a changing table
