We went a couple weeks ago. The service was very friendly but slow. The restaurant was very unassuming. Looked like it was an old take out pizza place that they made into their own. Could use a sprucing up. The food was on the pricey side but it was plentiful and tasty. We really enjoyed the ceviche and octopus salad! The salt cod fritters where stuffed fill of fish! I got a whole grilled fish simply prepared. We order a bunch of dishes and again everything was tasty except for the mashed potatoes (pure de papas). They are serving boxed (powdered) mashed pots, why? Everything else was tasty but the take a shortcut with potatoes? We would go again if we are in the area.

Wow just wow. I literally spend 74$ on 2 things in this place. One was a paella and another one was a T-bone steak. I asked for a medium rare. The steak is hard and overly cook. The mash potato is from a box you can taste it and is craaaaazy salty. I couldn’t even eat it. The steak is so hard to chew. And the steak alone was $28 and for that price is freaking beyond ridiculous. Here’s an image for everyone to see.

I don't recommend This place if you like tasty food, I thought this place was bigger but is small for such incredible prices and horrible tasteless food. I don't have a restaurant and I'm sorry but I cook so much better than this place. The white rice was old and hard and dry and they only have white beans and it was tasteless and the bake chicken didn't like the seasoning and the sweet plantains were cut too thick and yellow rice no taste and nothing inside of it just plain yellow rice. First time here and I will never go back. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $50–100 Food: 1 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 2

The food used to be a lot better.. the soup used to be creamier and the beans were better also the place is not as clean anymore. The only good thing is that Service got better..

The chicken had ok flavor but it was too dry, I've had better chicken and the place is not too far from that one. Just wanted to try the chicken and I guess they gave me a leftover chicken from the day before. I liked the fries
