On april 5, 2013 "The Dish with Dean" had the pleasure to celebrate the very special birthday of a very special friend. Her very lucky husband chose a familiar place. Perfecto Mundo in Commack. I had only been here on one occassion previously and was not very impressed. 
On this special occasion I was very impressed. The first visit I had here was shortly after they had opened and I guess they had to get the kinks out.

What I will say is that when you close a restaurant for this many people, anything can happen.

The menu chosen for this party couldn't have been more perfect.

A large plate of Nachos were placed on each table and they were amazing. Not at all soggy considering they had more than ten tables to serve with a minimum of 8 at each table. The dish came out hot and full of chopped ground beef and melted cheeses and the right amount of jalapeno peppers to create a nice heat to the chips. 

 

Next out comes an amazing Ceasar salad served in a tortilla bowl. The salad had the perfect amount of dressing and the Romaine lettuce was cold and fresh. Served with a corn and black bean salsa. Next came out a dish of mussels with salsa and spices that the broth was dippage worthy with the bread available on the table. 

 The next appetizer to arrive was one of the best variations of fried calamari I think I have ever had.

 

Served in a light chili glaze that had the just the right amount of sweet and spice.   

The entrees being offered were a chicken dish, a talapia, a skirt steak and a Paella. The general consensus was that the best dish was the talapia. The fish was cooked perfectly. Chipotle-orange bbq glazed tilapia served with black thai rice and two cabbage slaw. 

I had the paella which I found to be filled with fresh shellfish and sausage. The safon rice was moist and bursting with flavor. 

The chicken dish was slightly dry and left nothing to the imagination.  

Of course the party would not be complete without birthday cake. 

With a full open bar and great sangria, the party was a complete success and with the amazing staff at Perfecto Mundo, the service was wonderful. Never was a water glass left empty and my wine glass was always full. 

Portions here are well balanced and you will not leave hungry.

Anyone looking to have a celebration should consider
