If you pass this restaurant and the cuisine it offers up without a thought to stop and try something, I’m sad for you. This place has it all. The food came within mere moments from the time we ordered with the floor more than at half capacity. Our server was polite and full of genuine energy and humor. The flavors hit the palate with all the spice and fire and heat you’d expect and the care the cooks take with simple presentation felt unpretentious yet high class. Do not pass this place without stopping to eat.

I’ll give the restaurant a 3 out of 5. Good portions for the daily special but the food was bland. It would have been better with some sause on the rice.

My family and I have been coming here since the restaurant opened many years ago. Roberto (owner) and his amazing staff show incredible pride in their restaurant and serve each guest with so much love and respect. Everyone who I have seen that comes into this restaurant leaves with a positive experience and wanting to go back for more! The food is exceptional and the service is amazing, my family and I will continue coming here and I suggest you to as well! Here is a picture of their delicious cafe con leche!
