They will also offer Naldo's Caldo, a customizable Arroz Caldo which you can garnish to your heart's content, and for drinks, their Encanto Bar serves cerveza beer and assorted cocktails to complement your meal. For dessert, they offer Quesada Pasiega, which is a Spanish Catabrian Cheesecake, and a chilled Tres Leches cake. To go with the Spanish-Mexican vibe of the establishment, hand crafted "Que Daba" Muñequeta (P250) is sold — a "little doll" inside a jar which will remind one of the charm of Mexican holiday Dia De Los Muertos.
