    Mariposa is a great place to dine before a show at the Knight Theater. I'm usually a wine guy but chose the "Spice Route" cocktail and loved the flavor. My wife had the Golden Coast Spritz and also loved her drink. We probably over ordered but enjoyed everything we had. The Duck Arepas was very good. The Greek potatoes were equally good. My wife enjoyed the Crab Cakes. Then came the Moroccan Pie. Oh my goodness what a dish. It was delicious with pork, honey, spices, and phyllo dough. Additionally, the service was incredible. Carlos was great but so was everyone else who interacted with us. I highly recommend this restaurant!
