The latter sounds like you mean El Gavilan, on Flower Ave. between
Piney Branch and Arliss.  Only been there once but I definitely plan
to go back.  Check out the other restaurants near Piney Branch and
Flower as well.  Getting back to downtown SS, try Negril (Jamaican
food) on Thayer (I think) between Georgia and Fenton.
