Plenty of open tables for lunch on a Friday, which was surprising because everything was excellent!! The cheese empanadas were ooey gooey and the chimichurri and vinegar-based sauces on the table paired perfectly. I got the Churrasco Nica and my cousin got the Canoa de Maduro with chicken. The food was soooo good and we definitely asked for more chimichurri to dip our sides in! Will definitely be visiting again for more of their friendly service and delicious dishes!

We are visiting from Dallas, TX. My family ordered food there and I ordered food from next door. I left two small boxes on the table. They told me that since COVID-19 precautions were in place, I needed to take my garbage as it was causing cross-contamination. If they are so worried about cross-contamination, they would do a better job of cleaning their restrooms. This was my first time, and my last time there. The food might be good, but they need to attend Customer Service 101 University. They were very rude. Last time I checked, the pandemic ended. My wife asked for a to go coffee, and they do not have to go coffee. We have traveled both nationally and internationally, and have never heard of such of thing. I would stay away from this place. I have never left a restaurant with such a bad taste in my mouth as this one. The staff are very unprofessional and very rude. Avoid this place at all costs.

Fast service, great fresh food with lots of flavor. They have some amazing authentic drinks and food. I wish I would have known my fish was going to come whole with the head on…. I typically do not like to eat whole fish but this did have good flavor.

Decent food, terrible service. I’m not sure how a place like this can stay in business considering they’re incredibly relaxed attitude towards service. There was one large party in the restaurant and the rest of it was empty . We saw two separate tables come in and leave after about half an hour. All together we were there for over an hour and had to keep reminding the server about our drink orders. Steak on a hot stone was tasty but kind of like cooking a steak at home yourself on a frying pan. I really like the smoked pork chops but I’ll never go back to that restaurant due to their incredibly slow service.

The cook was rude in speaking about other customers with a take it or leave it type of attitude. However, the food was excellent in taste. I will give the staff the benefit of the doubt and just assume this was just a bad day for everyone. The place came highly recommended, so I will give them a 2nd chance before I right them off as a no-go place to eat.

The flavoring and sauces of the dishes are excellent. I had the shrimp with this jalapeño sauce. Very good! My girl had the chicken, which I snagged a bite of and was good too!
