Amazing food! The service was great, despite all the other reviews trying to bash on the waitresses I saw them be polite and attentive to every table. I saw other tables staring the waitresses up and down, but it’s their job to dress like that and be social, if you can’t handle that don’t go out. We ordered camarones cucarachas and the ceviche Nice, everything was delicious!

amazing cuisine Despite all the negative reviews that were written about the waitresses, I observed them to be kind and attentive to every table. It’s their duty to dress like that and interact with customers; if you can’t handle it, don’t go out. However, I noticed other tables eyeing the waitresses up and down. The ceviche and camarones cucarachas were our orders. Everything was wonderful, nice!

Food was great. Music was so loud too loud I get it at restaurants like that are supposed to have live band, but not in a place that’s so small and crowded I’m so surprise all the waitresses can hear every order. We literally have to point at Pictures …wouldn’t go back there again.

Small place, super loud, instead of having a great time is just painful, the singers need to learn how to pronounce, diction, you can’t understand them.
