The whole idea of a pan-Latin restaurant was unheard-of back in 1991, when Russell Bass opened this bright, second-floor restaurant in the heart of North Berkeley's food zone. But the changing menu of classic and contemporary dishes from Central and South America is still turned out here with authenticity and without pretense. The kitchen produces at least 20 sauces and salsas every day, savory complements to the seafood specialties and vegetarian interpretations.--Diablo
